Meet The Carbon Goddess

CHRISTINE JONES is not comfortable with the title "The Carbon Goddess". But she's going to have to get used to it. Because she is. Christine has almost single-handedly brought carbon to the attention of the people who can do the most about it: farmers and graziers. And the opportunity she reveals to them is the chance to protect us all from global warming while enriching their soils and boosting the productivity of their farms. Dr Jones, who describes herself as a 'grassland ecologist', has studied the dynamics of plant and animal life for 30 years. She has an holistic vision, developed by close contact with real world agriculturalists, earnestly striving to rebuild natural resources and make a profit at the same time. Christine has written more articles and given more presentations on native grasslands than I've had hot dinners. She has written songs and developed schools prorams about carbon. Christine is a passionate advocate for regenerative farm management techniques and has made many personal sacrifices to popularise the issues. She deserves to be recognised in the Queen's Birthday Honours List, but she'd hate the attention. Christine is a very reluctant goddess, but the earth needs goddesses to help build better relationships between Mother Nature and her children.
