Regenerative Agriculture in Australia: A Path to a Healthier Planet and Profitable Farms

Discover how regenerative agriculture is transforming farms and benefiting the environment. Farmers share their stories of success, showcasing how this approach improves soil health, boosts biodiversity, and leads to healthier livestock and increased profitability.
Our video explores the concept of regenerative agriculture through the stories of farmers and who have adopted these practices.
Key takeaways:
Regenerative agriculture focuses on improving soil health, biodiversity, and water management to create more resilient and productive landscapes.
By giving plants rest and reducing tilling, farmers can increase ground cover, improve water infiltration, and reduce erosion.
This approach not only benefits the environment but also leads to healthier livestock and increased profitability for farmers.
As consumers become more aware of the importance of sustainable practices, regenerative agriculture is gaining momentum and is expected to become the norm within the next few decades.

I first heard about regenerative agriculture about 3 1/2 years ago, and at that time, it was rare that anyone in my acquaintance had even heard of it. Now, beef and other products grown regeneratively are in the stores, and there are a jillion videos of ranchers and farmers telling their stories about how they switched to this system and produced excellent food, healthy soil, etc. and they're making a profit, too! It makes me so happy!

Excellent to hear this In the late 1970s we were exposed to this thinking in New Zealand However it could not compete against the push of the fertiliser companies that were pushing products Fantastic to see the principles are being used

[@barrybr1]

There was a time when these practices were considered 'kooky' or mad. It just makes so much sense. (Beautifully made vid)

[@alisterstewart4783]

You're a heretic here in New Zealand for it unfortunately 😢

WHAT I AM NOTICING BESIDES GOOD SOIL PRACTICES IS VERY DIGNIFIED GOOD PEOPLE. FROM THE USA.

[@Bennie32831]

So stoked to see you and others filtering out the good stuff for your farms tree's sandal wood and others are good too plant trees are good feed stock for dry times to take presher of the grass and preneals and assist in reseculation of water under the tree canopy keeping the ground moisture There for longer and keeping the grass green a d growing for longer than in a sparc paddock

[@tesha199]

Grass can stay green under trees many months after the last rain, so wonderful.

[@SHANONisRegenerate]

Nice discussion! Weve been practicing regenerative grazing on our land for 2 years now.

[@synappticuser7296]

It's an absolute joy to see the wisdom of nature returning through the pioneering work of Australian farmers. I can't put into words how good it feels to see the work you are doing, and to also see the results - thank you! 🌤️🏞️😊

[@shemnilon504]

I've just started doing the same on a micro scale on 18acres here in NSW. Super excited

Beautiful people, beautiful country.

Regen HAS to become the norm.

[@bobbebbington5356]

Alan Savoury was the first person to recognise the problem in managing National Parks in Zimbabwe. I am glad to see it is catching on in mainstream farming.

[@vivalaleta]

First person you're aware of. There's probably always been those who knew.

[@racebiketuner]

Keep up the good work! I'm doing something similar on a much smaller scale in California. The soil I'm working with is completely dead from decades of growing apricots using old school methods.

Very Cool. We have a design group here in Carlsbad at the beach N. County San Diego. We design eco-communities, permaculture farms, architecture, small orchards, swimming pools, greenhouses, homesteads, herbal products, help farms build their brands (including 2 graphic designers), ADU's, landscapes (both ornamental and incorporating food growing. We have 2 architects, 2 permaculture farmers (have worked in many countries on major projects/farms), lady with masters in regenerative agriculture (did her graduate work in Peru), another lady (Mexican Native) w/maters in sustainable design, naturopathic doctor, etc. plus my own 45 years' experience (30 of that in Oregon) working in all the above areas, in multi-home community, a 23 acre organic farm, 1,000's of projects including residential landscapes and habitat restoration projects. Always great to hear of someone re-claiming land and regenerating the ecology.

Restaurants could be persuaded to give thrown away food for a compost sights to nourish the soil.

[@tesha199]

Lovely video, not much specifics but a nice warm story to motivate more people into this style of land management. Cheers

[@annechapman2801]

Well put together and congrats to those people that are bringing it to life

[@barnyardbrio7597]

the video itself is extremely well made. not to mention the content. I hope you hit 1M views soon. definately subscribed!!

[@cmvvlogs3887]

Very informative channel. Thank you for sharing.

[@KhlaBaiTong]

So beautiful 😘😗

[@itsmemario5663]

So good! 🌞 where is the location of the shot of 18:37 ? Thank you for information 🙏

[@XHPBT1]

The Bible talks about letting the soil rest every seven years. So this is nothing new.. because of money, we have over farmed and depleted our soils

[@drpk6514]

It is just the normal rotation. Is this something new?

[@tritchie6272]

i suspect its not as new as people think, but more of a return to the old prechemical days with fancy dressed up jargon. People successfully grew food for centuries before chemicals.

[@looloo4029]

Seems like rotational grazing to me with perhaps some paddocks being taken out of rotation for longer periods than normal to allow plant species to reestablish themselves. These farmers appear to all be based in Queensland. Maybe, having big properties, they just historically practised set-stocking huge paddocks without the use of rotational grazing.

[@nguboyengwekaluvuyo6219]

Are these Nguni cattle??

[@looloo4029]

Brahmans and Brahman - British breed derived crosses I think, from what I could see in the video.

[@ashdavy9828]

Definitely the majority was Brahams as they are a very sturdy breed for the stations to manage they handle the heat a lot better some others there was also some Angus and Angus x in there too another sturdy breed for us farmers here in Aus

[@alansarthou3276]

I was hoping on more detail as to which practices were applied on each case... Information like: how much cattle you had per unit of area, how often you moved the animals, did you apply any compost, how many times can you grow pastures per year, etc...? Sorry to tell you, but I've learned nothing new from this video

[@barnyardbrio7597]

what's the name of your channel Alan?

[@wendyscott8425]

There are a ton of videos by people like Greg Judy explaining in detail how to do all this. Not hard to find right here on KZbin.

[@credenza1]

This is the real answer to the CO2 issue. I% more carbon in all farming soils would sequester more than all the man-made CO2, without destroying economies and quality of life through radical "green" policies.

Kom ons help , wat gebeur hier. Wanneer n mens met n nuwe toepassing begin ,moet jy verantwoordelik wees . Baie waarneem is baie belangrik. Sorg dat jou produksie goed bly. Die groter trop is uiters belangrik om langer rus te kan bewerk stellig. Wil hier noem die veld sal nou verbeter en verdig al vreet jy 50 persent of feitlik alles op . Wat is belangrik moenie te kort vreet ,jou diere gaan sukkel met produksie. Soos hoe die pol ouer raak ,heg swamme aan die wortels ,wat weer n ander vlak van minerale en vog vir die gras bring. Daar moet n balans van beide dier en gras wees. Die pote stemuleer saad ontkieming . Begin met n deel van die plaas om effe meer in die vroeg reenseisoen te trap . Sê n sewende of 10 de deel. Wat nou gebeur hierdie kampe gaan baie goeie meerjarige saad ontkieming gee . Rus is nou kardinaal op hierdie kampe om daardie saailinge sterk te kry. Tot 18 maande en langer kan soms gewag word vir daardie saailing om sterk te raak ,veral na 15 jaar en langer . Sou jy vroér daar moet vreet moet dit lig wees. So skywe n mens die begin van die volgende reenseisoen na n volgende blok vir effe hoér voet stemulasie en dan goeie rus vir die saailinge. Ja na 7 en meerjare is jy terug by daardie kampe . Hier help waarneming baie. Die trap nou hier gaan verseker hoér sukses grasse laat ontkiem . Wat ons in Namibia gevind het dat die voet stemulasie baie goeie vog vas vang en is nou ideal vir daardie saailinge in aride gebiede . Grondbou moet in die lewenssiklus van die plant bestuur word. Goeie trap vir die saailinge ,dan gewone trap en vreet deur die gras se leeftyd met rus. Ja dan op die ou staduim van die gras trap en vreet weer min en wag vir die reen om weer die proses te laat begin met saailinge met weer n goeie stemulasie vir n digte stand gras. Op te som ,daar is dan altyd n kleiner deel van die plaas wat vir saailinge gestemuleer word ,n groot deel wat vir hoe diere produksie sorg en n deel wat die lewenssiklus afsluit en voorberei vir die begin van die lewessiklus weer.

The reef has expanded 60% in last 12 months. But the climate activists wont tell you that .
