Episode 12: Charles Massy
Charles Massy gained a Bachelor of Science at ANU in 1976 before going farming for 35 years, developing the prominent Merino sheep stud ‘Severn Park’. Concern at ongoing land degradation and humanity’s sustainability challenge led him to return to ANU in 2009 to undertake a PhD in Human Ecology.
Charles has authored several books on the Australian sheep industry including ‘Breaking the Sheep’s Back’. His most recent book ‘Call of the Reed Warbler’ tells the story of a new and regenerative approach to agriculture and won the Scholarly Non-Fiction Book of the Year at the 2019 Educational Publishing Awards
