Hosted by Declan McDonald, Certified Professional Soil Scientist (CPSS), this 8-part video series investigates the key principles of regenerative agriculture.
The videos focus on farms in Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula Region, but cover principles which are relevant to farms in all regions. View the series of videos here.
The series starts with an Introduction to Regenerative Agriculture (see below), followed by videos covering the following key principles:
- Minimise soil disturbance
- Maximise crop diversity
- Keep soil covered
- Living roots year round
- Integration of livestock
- Integration of trees
The final video in the series is a summary and transitioning to regenerative agriculture.
The video series is a collaboration between Bass Coast Landcare Network, Mornington Peninsula Shire, South Gippsland Landcare Network and Western Port Catchment Landcare Network. The project is supported by Bass Coast Landcare Network, South Gippsland Landcare Network, Mornington Peninsula Shire and Western Port Catchment Landcare Network through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program and Port Phillip and Westernport Catchment Management Authority.
