I’m REALLY excited to be sharing with you the first of what will be many inspiring regenerative agriculture Conscious Farmer blogs!
I have previously experienced wonderful learning amongst farmers when they share their own experiences -both their wins and challenges. So much so, that I have been driven to start this blog – to shine the light on regenerative agriculture, to explore the science behind the experiences and to facilitate this sharing on a global scale.
It is you and I, it is all of us, who can revive our landscapes, enliven our soils and help return farming such that we produce healthy, quality food.
My weekly blogs will spark ideas in you for sustainable, productive farm practices in your grazing and cropping systems; they will:
…inform you, based on scientific research, they will
…inspire you, based on grower’s real life experience, and they will
…facilitate the sharing of sustainable farming practices amongst farmers across the world, such that we can all
“be the change we want to see in the world1”.
My blogs will draw on world renowned leaders in sustainable agriculture, as well as the little known champions of the industry that are quietly doing their part in regenerative agriculture.
I will cover topics like:
- Biological farming
Quantum agriculture
A profitable mindset
Soil microbiology
Pasture cropping
Chemical free agriculture
Grazing management
Low stress stock handling
Biodynamic farming
Compost and humus
Cover cropping
Native vegetation in cropping systems
Natural sequence farming
Our first industry leader to have input to the blog will be Colin Seis – amazing innovative Australian farmer who is the father of Pasture Cropping.
As the blog progresses, I strongly encourage you to send me feedback on the topics I have blogged about. Whether you have experienced similar outcomes, different outcomes or additional experiences to what I have discussed. Also, if you have suggestions for someone or something that other Conscious Farmer followers might like to learn about, please let me know. It is this sharing that will ensure this blog sits as the number one place to learn about regenerative and sustainable agriculture.
Just email me at kirrily@theconsciousfarmer.com
After all, it is the farmers who are the great innovators and who blaze the trail in new techniques of regenerative agriculture, while departmental science follows with the scientific explanations for the previously realised outcomes.
Yours in conscious farming,
Kirrily.
