Speaker 2 at TEDxDubbo: FACETS

“The Good Carbon Story”

Originally from Far North Queensland, Ichsani Wheeler is a young scientist as well as a mad keen gardener, lover of worms, fungi, and all lowly compostable things.  With a succinct soft spot for home made aquaponics systems and soil that smells good enough to eat she has a long standing passion for agriculture, the environment and pragmatic approaches to the challenges of sustainability.

After graduating from a Bachelor of Land and Water Science she worked as an environmental consultant to the design and development industries. Her project experience primarily focused on designing natural storm water treatment systems, waterway rehabilitation and urban design.  Returning to take-up a PhD in 2009 examining soil carbon sequestration on farms she is committed to highlighting the importance of healthy, functioning soil as vital to a healthy, functioning society.
