Oberon Wind Towers with Chris Muldoon, Oberon Against Wind Towers committee member.

Chris Muldoon is originally from Melbourne, and has worked for major companies such as ANZ and Optus. He then lived and worked in NY before returning home about three years ago to run a family tourism business called Mayfield Garden in Oberon, which attracts about 80,000 visitors a year.

It is also where he got involved in the community's fight to keep wind towers out of the Oberon LGA but he has a broader interest in sticking up for those regional communities who are getting unfairly steamrolled by this renewable gold rush.

Regenerative Farming in the UK with Paul Day, Owner Bramblebee Farms. Paul Day is a first generation farmer and first generation butcher. They run approximately 200 acres of land in Norfolk, Cambridge and Fenland borders where they are regenerative farmers producing Dairy, Beef, Pork and poultry direct to the public either via a online shop, farmers market, and few open hours at the farm.

They aim to produce chemical free zero inoculations and no routine antibiotics, nutrient dense food while all the time working with nature and the soil.

They raise a mixture of hardy native breeds Aberdeen Angus, Beef Shorthorn, Hereford and Belted Galloways all crossed with Galloway Bulls. Their cattle are completely grass fed, grazing their own meadows and in the summer months the RSPB wetlands at Welney where they create an ideal habitat for all things natural, helping with the Bird Conservation.They also raise their famous Bramblebee Old Spot pigs, which are bred from resilient native breeds and eat the best cereals from their own fields and their neighbours. Although being slow to grow, Old Spot pigs boast a slightly higher fat level, which is perfect for the taste buds.

They spend their lives outdoors in family groups producing all the pork we need.
