The IEA Board has come from around Australia for a couple of days together to undertake forward planning for 2025 and meet in person for the first time ever to build team cohesion. We enjoyed farm visits to renowned regen farmer Martin Royds and the Mulloon Institute whilst here.

The IEA accreditation 'Knowledge Circles' sit across three interrelated categories: head (theoretical knowledge), hands (practical/experiential knowledge), and heart (the why of regeneration). Learn more at our upcoming Aug 19 information session. Details: https://t.co/lHIkSGBbbO

Six IEA Board Directors have each completed around 10 hours leadership development as part of a UTS study into behaviours needed for groups to lead transformational change. In the final session, the cohort identified their emerging new traits activated via the reflection process.

13 people have made EOI's to attend the IEA accreditation Q&A session next Monday 13 May. IEA Director Katharine Brown will cover 'portfolios' as part of the accreditation process. Read about accreditation here https://t.co/ECVciW0mBv, email [email protected] to attend.

We're now up to 2,020 people with unfettered, 24/7 access to Parliament House.

We have no idea who these people are.

This is a huge transparency fail that doesn't live up to community standards.

Indigenous Affairs reporter Isabella Higgins says the No victory in the Indigenous Voice to Parliament Referendum could change the way Indigenous Australians will want to interact with the rest of the country going forward.

[Patrick Dodson @SenatorDodson]

I want to thank all those Australians who have supported this campaign for recognition and a Voice.

Stand proud tomorrow.

History will remember you.

Bob Brown has made a plea to PM Albanese from deep in Tasmania’s forest destruction Zone: “You should come & see this! This forest of giants includes the most beautiful natural fernery I have ever seen. It is being turned into a sqallid pile of smashed branches and mud. @AlboMP

My latest article was published in The West Australian today.

“The effective silencing of the Pilbara voice is consistent with the history of Indigenous voices since
Federation. One government will establish a representative body; the next takes it away.”

@tammois This is brilliant, congratulations Tammi 😊

[Dr Anja Bless @AnjaKBless]

Super proud to be contributing to the fantastic debates being held by @TableDebates on the agri-food system. Another iteration of our (@davila_federico @UTSISF ) recent research on the emergence of regenerative agriculture, tailored especially for food system actors

[Ethan Gordon @drethangordon]

@AnjaKBless have you seen this? https://t.co/skeOGJSfEY

[Ethan Gordon @drethangordon]

Check out my latest article: 'Restoration for Profit: the impact of stories on defining regenerative agriculture' https://t.co/Ux1ke7i94C via @LinkedIn Thanks to @chrisjriedy and @davila_federico

@BryonySands @Mario_R_Machado @AlissaCWhite An important addition to #regenerativeagriculture literature explaining the Indigenous origins of common regen practices. These practices have been dismembered from relational values & worldviews - which are required for true food systems transformation. Thanks @BryonySands

[TABLE @TableDebates]

What is regenerative agriculture?

The term is becoming increasingly common in food systems discussions, but lacks a formal definition. Ask what counts as “regenerative” & based on individual/context, you’re likely to get a different answer.

Moving conversations with Colorado #ranchers this week. Ranching plays an important role in addressing #ClimateCrisis and saving #rangelands. Yet many feel blamed by a society no longer connected to the land. Thanks @_ada_smith and ranchers who shared @FoundationFAR @nobleresinst

[Thomas Mayo @thomasmayo23]

There really is no such thing as a “progressive ‘No’.”

All of Lidia’s arguments about sovereignty & treaty being affected if we succeed have been debunked. And she hasn’t explained how losing could possibly help close the gap.

There simply is no progress if Hanson and Co win.
