Hear from Mark Koopmans (North Canterbury), Rachel Short,(Taranaki) and Ross Johnson (Wairarapa) as they discuss regenerative grazing systems, techniques, plus farmer-led research and insights.

Watch this webinar recording to learn from Soil Mentor's Abbey Rose how their app makes monitoring soil health on your farm easy and informative.

A tour of the Quorum Sense Regen Forum! You can see what's on offer, how it works, and get some tips and tricks for getting the most out of using it!

Hawke's Bay's Michael Reilly and Taranaki's Rachel Short share their experiences with livestock collar technology. What role can it play in NZ farming systems? What are the opportunities and concerns?

Andy’s research demonstrates complex interactions between physical soil structure and microbiome metabolism with significant implications for nutrient-use efficiency in soils.

Stephan Newman, and Phil & Jenny Grainger from the Kaipara Regen Ag group are involved with the City to Farm composting project lead by Betsy Kettle.

South Otago's Pete Blair and Hawke's Bay's Michael Reilly compare experiences navigating the multi-faceted maze of regenerative grazing techniques in very different contexts.

UK biological farmer Tim Parton shares his approach to arable crop production and how he’s come to work with nature, not against.

In this Quorum Sense webinar we will be focusing on grazing management and planning in a New Zealand landscape.

Following up our ‘Regenerative arable transitions’ case study, we deep-dive into regenerative arable production systems with David Birkett and the UK’s Clive Bailye.

In this second agroforestry webinar, Dr Colin Meurk joins us to discuss the benefits trees bring to agriculture, and how to select and plant for maximum impact.

First in a series of webinars on integrating trees into NZ farm systems, Hawke’s Bay farmer Greg Hart joins land manager and educator Darren J. Doherty.

This April 2021 webinar features four farmers panelist: Mark Anderson (Dairy), Rachel and Kenneth Short (Dairy)and Dean Martin (sheep and beef).

Regenerative farmer and grazing coach Siobhan Griffin talks about increasing soil organic matter, growing more grass, reducing costs and improving milk and cheese quality.

More biological products are coming onto the market. But do they work… how do they work… and what do you need to know before introducing them into your system?

“Coming into farming on our own account without much experience meant we weren't tied to tradition and weren't afraid to try new things.”

“Lowering the cost of production, understanding nutrient cycling and building resilience into the farm’s performance.”

“We are part of a community that is committed to building community resilience, reliable food security and production. There is also a big commitment to education.”

“Key learnings for me are the importance of humility, perseverance, research, conceptual and creative thought.”

“We no longer follow the flock and have freedom to farm how we enjoy, without worry about judgement of industry.”

This February 2021 webinar features four farmers: Jules Matthew (Sheep & Beef), Hamish Bielski (Sheep & Beef), Miah Smith (Dairy) and Mark Anderson (Dairy).

David Birkett incorporates cover crops into his high value seed crops and has done an immense amount of trial work in decreasing synthetic inputs of crops and soil tillage.

Ten years of higher grazing densities & longer recoveries have transformed Dean Martin’s previously unproductive pastures - ewes & lambs are now thriving on it!
