Jacob Birch (Yaamarra & Yarral) - native grasses healing country and community.

It's a demoralising and exhausting time for a lot of First Nations people. Some leaders and thinkers - like Gamilaraay man Jacob Birch - have been advocating for self-determination and nation-building for a long time, having been burnt by enmeshment with colonial institutions. Jacob is one of the first recipients of the John Reid Fellowship which funds meaningful projects in the world of grain. We talk to him about native grasses and the opportunities they present for healing country and community. https://www.yaamarraandyarral.com.au/ https://www.grainz.org.au/john-reid-fellowship https://www.instagram.com/yaamarrayarral/ https://www.instagram.com/_grainz_/ https://www.instagram.com/shingi_nyabonda/ https://www.instagram.com/pippakjames/ Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
