Learning

At Down to Earth visitors will have the opportunity to learn all about regenerative farming strategies and it’s principles via industry experts, hub debates, workshops, and farm tours. Come along and learn all about:

INCREASING LAND PRODUCTIVITY

Although research is still limited, it is thought regenerative farming practices can improve soil health and diversity and lead to better crop yields and livestock output.

IMPROVING VEGETATION

Down to Earth focuses on regenerative farming which creates better conditions for growing high-quality, nutrient-dense food that can better survive droughts and remove excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through carbon sequestration.

ENHANCING WATER QUALITY

Water and soil health are intrinsically linked. Improving soil fertility can help water infiltration leading to less runoff, erosion and pollution. It also makes land more drought tolerant.

REVERSING CLIMATE CHANGE

Research suggests regenerative agriculture can reverse climate change by sequestering atmospheric CO2 in the soil

RESTORING A SOILS CARBON CONTENT

Building healthy soils and improving the organic matter and the natural living biodiversity in the soil enhances the ground’s ability to draw down carbon from the air and store it underground.

IMPROVING FARM SUSTAINABILITY

Using manure effectively, making more from grazing and improving crop productivity through better soil management are vital to a farm’s sustainability.
