Funded Activity Summary

Ten years is enough: the life and afterlife of Rick Farley. This project documents, for the first time, Rick Farley's contribution to our understanding of the urgent questions of Australia's economic, cultural and environmental sustainability. By analysing Farley's advocacy and action at all levels of government and society, and across the political spectrum, it provides a broadly accessible study of the shaping of agendas on these matters. Farley's insistence that community alliances were vital to meeting global challenges, magnified by Australia's degraded landscapes and the alienation of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous custodians of those lands, remains as relevant now as it was when he brokered initiatives such as Landcare.
