Passion, purpose and practice were the words used to describe this year’s Macedon Ranges Shire Council Healthy Landscapes – Holistic Grazing Management course.
Eighteen farmers and land managers were inspired and armed with the knowledge to forge their own path into regenerative agriculture on their parcel of land.
Sidonia Beef manager Sam White said regenerative agriculture was growing rapidly in Australia and had proven to be better for the farmer, the animals and the environment.
“With the climate ever changing and throwing up challenges each season, being resilient as a farmer is more important now then ever before,” he said.
“And managing your landscape in a regenerative way and taking it to a better, more resilient place is what we teach in this course.”
The success of this program has seen it awarded ‘The Premier’s Choice ‘ award at 2021 Premier’s Sustainability Awards.
Another course is being planned for later this year and more information will be released in the coming months.
