The farming sector experiences a perpetual challenge in optimizing property health and productivity, due to the tendency for individuals to prioritize personal goals over environmental considerations. Successful farming hinges on understanding one’s land and working with its inherent qualities, rather than imposing predefined plans. The key challenge is fostering a shift in perspective, enhancing farmers’ comprehension of their landscape’s capabilities and limitations.
Temora Landcare aimed to address this issue through a workshop series with David Hardwick, focussed on empowering local farmers with a holistic understanding of their farm landscapes, fostering sustainability and resilience.
