Cultivating a Better Food Future, Together
GrowGood is a free, open-source project, building a platform to empower farmers to track their operations from seed to sale, creating a verifiable, auditable record of their entire production process. We are creating the digital backbone for a more transparent and regenerative food system.

Paying for What Lasts
Thirty years of European ecosystem funding versus Australia's Big-Ag wager
Stand in an alpine meadow above Salzburg in July and you are surrounded by 50 or 60 plant species in a single hectare. Orchids, arnica, eyebright, wild thyme. The farmer who manages that meadow cuts it once a year — late, after the wildflowers set seed — hauls the hay down by hand because the slope is too steep for machinery, and receives a payment from the Austrian government for doing exactly that. Not as charity. As compensation for a service the rest of society benefits from but rarely pays for directly: a functioning, species-rich landscape that holds water in the soil, holds carbon in the vegetation, holds tourists in the valley, and holds genetic diversity in the bank for everything that comes after us.

Rewilding the Field
GrowGood as a Digital Commons
There are paddocks in Western Australia’s wheatbelt — tens of thousands of hectares — where the soil crusts white in summer. Salt. The farmers who cleared the mallee scrub for “improved” pasture in the mid-20th century didn’t intend disaster. The short-term arithmetic made sense: clear the deep-rooted native vegetation, plant shallow-rooted annual crops, harvest, repeat. For a generation, it worked. Then the watertable rose. Without the native root systems drawing it down, the groundwater — laden with salt from ancient seabeds — climbed toward the surface. It poisoned paddocks. It killed trees. It sterilised soils that had grown native plants for millennia. Roughly two million hectares of Australian farmland carry this legacy. Not from malice. From simplification.

Logos & GrowGood: Community Owned Economies
Guest Podcast with Host Sterlin Lujan
Introduction What does a post-capitalist economy look like, and where does value actually live? In this deep-dive session from the Logos Thursday X Space, heterodox economist and monetary theorist Leanne Ussher joins host Sterlin Lujan to explore the frontier of community-owned economies. The conversation traces a fascinating lineage of economic experimentation—from the Wörgl “miracle” during the Great Depression and the Sardex network in Sardinia to modern-day implementations like Will Ruddick’s Sarafu currency in Nairobi’s Kibera slum. Moving beyond theoretical frameworks, this discussion focuses on practical applications: mapping material, ecological, and human flows to reclaim value that mainstream economics is built to ignore.
