Thread: Native perennial grasses promising

There was a bit of discussion a while back in a bushfire thread I think about native perennial grasses, so I thought this story was worth using to start a separate thread. This is a very promising agricultural story and has great potential, particularly for reviving land degraded by European-based farming methods unsuitable in our landscape, particularly as climate change continues to create more wasteland.

Yes, there is. The book should be read by every Aussie, I think. It would reduce our national ignorance of indigenous farming methods.
I notice in the report he says he is inundated with requests from bakers and restaurants for native grains. There is obviously a big potential market out there.

Oddly, we have some kangaroo grass growing in our front native garden. I might harvest the seeds and see if can successfully grind them into a paste and bake some biscuits.
