Summary

Farmers and growers in South Australias Limestone Coast are alarmed as the state government lifts a fracking ban and an Adelaide mining company pushes ahead with a strip mining project for rare earth minerals. Locals fear water contamination, acid mine drainage, and soil degradation, while the mining company insists on approvals and quick rehabilitation. The region is caught between green energy needs and protecting its agricultural heartland as protests escalate and studies are set to be released later this year.
