It's time to renew Landcare
This big picture agenda: new leadership, an education revolution, taking climate change seriously and tackling it vigorously, making the federation work better, and reinvesting in skills and infrastructure to build productive capacity — underpinned by values of equity, sustainability and community — is appropriate and timely. It is a great framework for a contemporary approach to the environment that recognises that people are central to environmental problems and solutions, not a malign externality.
