Supporting regenerative agriculture in the byron shire

Brunswick Valley Landcare's (BVL) Farming Into The Future is part of the ever-growing, global movement whereby land managers recognise the need for new (and sometimes old!) ways to cope with our changing climate and be more resilient to such changes. There is also a growing recognition that some established, industrial farming practices are not resulting in the sort of farm ecosystems and products we want: less healthy ecosystems, more costly practices, all in a changing social and commercial market.

Regenerative Agriculture is a general term describing practices that assist a farmer to withstand change, and restore healthy farm ecosystems. It may cover land and stock management practices such as:

• cell or rotational grazing, mirroring natural herd movements
• low-till or no-till cultivation
• improved soil carbon
• farm forestry
• ridgeline re-afforestation to increase catchment water holding capacity
• composting
• less reliance on synthetic fertilizers and chemicals
• reintroducing and encouraging native pastures
• restoration of waterways and creeks
• improving water holding capacity of land
• improving soil microbes and soil health
• integrated pest management and pollination
• carbon banking via tree planting
• biodynamic practices.

BVL is positioned to support and champion land managers using regenerative agriculture principles, or those wanting to transition to regenerative practices, and build community support and education on such topics.

EVENTS

Regeneration projects

We can help landholders to carry out regeneration projects on their farms. 
Did you know that by regenerating your creeks you not only improve the quality of the water and soil on your property but can also improve the productivity of your land.  All this as well as providing habitat for native animals and fish.

connections

We have connections to local and national organisations who are leading the way with regenerative agriculture.  We also have local knowledge of what may be happening near you.

Improve your soil quality -understand, compare and examine soil health and relationships

OUR GOAL

To connect and educate land managers about the benefits of regenerative practices for improving water and ecosystem productivity, combating our changing climate, while farming profitably.
