Colin Austin Part 2: A Life Of Innovation In Water, Soil, And Sustainable Systems
Colin Austin is an engineer, inventor, and founder of Moldflow, a software company that helped shift plastics mould design from “gut feel” to science-based engineering. After building one of Australia’s most successful technical software exporters, his focus moved to...
Colin Austin: A Life of Innovation in Water, Soil, and Sustainable Systems
This article tells the story of Colin Austin, an Australian engineer and innovator whose work spans advanced computer modelling, irrigation reform, soil regeneration, and water sustainability. From founding a world-leading software company to developing practical...
Soil Maker: A Practical System for Rapid Soil Regeneration Using Biology and Water
Healthy soil is the foundation of food, nutrition, and long-term resilience. Yet much of the world’s soil is being degraded faster than it can regenerate naturally. This article describes a practical soil-making system that accelerates natural soil formation by...
Food Production and Climate Change
The global food system has been remarkably successful at producing large quantities of food, even as the world’s population continues to grow. However, this success has come at a hidden cost. Modern agricultural methods have placed increasing stress on soils, water,...
The Coming Food Revolution: Living Plants, Better Soil, Better Health
Modern food is abundant, but it often pushes us toward excess sugar and fats while quietly leaving out minerals, vitamins, and the living biology that supports gut health. The coming food revolution is simple: make fresh, growing plants practical for everyday people....
Combating “Fat Tummy” Disease by Changing Gut Biology
Many modern chronic diseases share a common starting point: visceral “fat tummy” fat, often called metabolic syndrome. This condition can progress to type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and faster cancer growth. Conventional advice based on calories and low-fat...
The Survival of Our Species: Soil, Water, Food, and Gut Biology
This article reflects on more than four decades of work exploring technology, soil, water, food systems, and health. It explains how early work in computer modelling led to irrigation innovation, wicking beds, and eventually a focus on diabetes and gut biology. The...
G-Biota and Reversing Type 2 Diabetes: Why Gut Biology Matters
This article explains why common approaches to type 2 diabetes—low fat, low carb, plant-based, or fasting—can help, yet often fail to “stick” for many people. The missing piece is gut biology. Our gut is not just for digestion; it is a control system that influences...
Preventing Chronic Disease with the Gbiota System: Food, Gut Biology, and Better Habits
Chronic diseases like diabetes and heart attacks are rising fast, and medical treatment alone cannot stop the epidemic. This article explains a practical prevention approach: improve “refurbishing food” (minerals, phytonutrients, and living biology) so the gut can...
