Regenerative Grazing Management - ‘Catch the Rain’ webinar 13 March'24
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.
#29 - Learning off each other with Peter Legg
The tables have turned for arable farmer Peter Legg, from initially learning off others’ knowledge and experience to now being someone others are learning from!
#27 - The possibilities of science and farming with Sam Lang
Canterbury farmer and Quorum Sense team member Sam Lang talks about the relationship between science and farmer experience, risk, and the importance of support networks.
#25 - Looking outside the square with Adam Rivett
Winner at the 2022 New Zealand Sausage Awards, Canterbury sheep and beef farmer Adam Rivett talks about getting creative with farm enterprises to suit his context.
#23 - Gaining confidence through knowledge with David Birkett
Award-winning biological arable farmer David Birkett shares a whole pot of gold as he explains how he built the confidence to try something new.
COLLECTION: Exploring regenerative viticulture
Exploring regenerative innovation on two vineyards whose approaches to soils, plants, people and ecosystems are relevant to more than just viticulturalists.
Introducing Greystone Wines and Holdaway vineyard
Two very different vineyards, one in Marlborough another in Canterbury’s Waipara hills, offer different perspectives on what it means to operate regeneratively.
Context, goals and mindset
Improving the relationship between soil and plant health is fundamental to helping cycle nutrients and increasing nutrient availability to the vines.
Diverse vineyard cover crops
In viticulture systems, cover crops can help reduce compaction, cut fertiliser use, improve water infiltration and lower pest and disease pressure.
Improving soil and vine health
Improving the relationship between soil and plant health is fundamental to helping cycle nutrients and increasing nutrient availability to the vines.
Minimising disturbance under-vine
Innovative approaches being taken to explore alternative under-vine management that helps increase soil health and support healthy vines, yield and quality.
Biological pest and disease management in vines
There are alternative ways to manage vineyard disease and insect pests that are less costly and don’t negatively impact beneficial microbial and insect life.
Holistic grazing sheep in vineyards
Improving livestock integration into cropping systems can bring a wide range of benefits and displace the need for increasingly expensive inputs.
Regenerative crop production - Arable Webinar Apr '22
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.
#14 - Embracing dairy learnings with Deane Parker
Dairy farmer and filmmaker Deane Parker shares his passion for the outdoors and water, and the learning mindset that's central to his transition to regenerative farming.
COLLECTION: Regenerative arable transitions
Diving into how Canterbury arable farmers David Birkett and Nigel Greenwood have increased farm system health, resilience and profitability.
Introducing David Birkett and Nigel Greenwood
Introducing two Canterbury arable farmers who are increasing the health, resilience and profitability of their farm systems, with a focus on building soil health.
Crop management and gross margins
Farm data comparison of the crop management inputs and associated gross margins of biological or regenerative farming systems for three common arable crops.
Residue management and cover crops
Retaining crop residues and integrating cover crops are key practices that both protect the soil surface and keep living roots in the ground year-round.
Building arable soil health
Exploring different practices for building soil health and broader ecosystem health, which underpin the success of biological and regenerative arable systems.
