Hepburn Community Wind Park, Australia's first Commmunity Owned Wind Farm
In Europe, community involvement in, and ownership of, renewable energy generation is a well-established and widely supported model. In Australia, the first community-owned wind farm in Hepburn Shire is finally about to go ahead.

Future Energy - the company behind the Hepburn Wind project - discusses the issues for communities in trying to become involved in securing their energy future while also enjoying the financial and environmental returns that such initiatives can provide.

Lundberg Family Farms is a leader in producing high quality organic and eco-farmed rice products in an environmentally beneficial and sustainable manner.  In 1937, having experienced the devastation of the Dust Bowl, the Lundberg family pioneered land management techniques designed to replenish rather than deplete the soil.

As a continuation of this heritage, Lundberg Family Farms is committed to business practices that make positive contributions to customers, growers, employees, shareholders, community and environment.

Lundberg Farms is striving to improve their environmental impact across their entire organization. Initiatives involving green energy, recycling and waste-stream reduction are significant steps in this ongoing effort.

Lundberg Family Farms is delighted to share their experiences as a company who is actively supporting green energy development.
