- This week Chris Clark takes a look at the work being done to adapt grazing enterprises.
- When we talk about environmental problems in Australia, two subjects invariably emerge at the top of the list: water and soil. In many ways, the problems we face with these two basic natural resources - such as salinity and soil degradation - are interwoven and the solutions often work in tandem as well. Many of the problems with soil and water arise from the mismatch between Australian soils, water balance and climate and the traditional European farming and grazing methods.
- A Goondiwindi cotton grower has joined the rag trade, turning home-grown, cotton into home-sewn clothes. His value-adding vision is to have all cotton production from farm to garment done in the local area.
- Saffron is the most expensive spice in the world. By weight it's worth more than gold. Prized for its intense colour, aroma and flavour, the dried stigmas from the crocus flower are used in Middle Eastern and European cooking. Twelve years ago a Tasmanian couple decided to try growing saffron, even though no-one had ever managed to grow it south of the equator. After a devastating false start they've established themselves as Australia's only saffron suppliers.

- Salinity has been identified as probably the biggest environmental issue in Australia today, but in Western Australia it's been part of the landscape for decades. A combination of clearing and the unique system of paeleo channels beneath the Western Australian wheat belt have resulted in 8 per cent of arable land there going saline. Ironically, the State with the most experience at tackling the problem and the biggest immediate need of help, is the only one in Australia yet to secure any of the Federal Government's $700 million under the National Action Plan for Salinity.

- Japan's retail, food service and media industries are being targeted in a $14 million promotional campaign aiming to restore Australia's $1.7 billion beef export market. About 90 per cent of Australia's beef trade to Japan was cut last year after BSE or Mad Cow disease was discovered in Japan. And while the Japan sales recovery campaign swings into action with 4,000 in-store promotions, at least one Aussie beef exporter has been busy turning good animal husbandry into a marketing success story.
