Native Grains w/ Jacob Birch

Eco Radio

About
Hosts: Dave (He/Him) and Andy (He/Him)

On the show we are playing an old interview from 2022 that former ecoradio host Monique and I did with Jacob Birch, Jacob is native grain researcher and Gamilaraay man. We talk all about the benefits of native grain foods and the importance of grasslands. Grasslands are often overlooked as empty paddocks or wasteland but they are vitally important to all sorts of wildlife.
