Natural Farming with Masanobu Fukuoka
Full-length documentary following the legendary Masanobu Fukuoka on a visit to India....
ENOUGHNESS: Restoring Balance to the Economy
How we see the world determines how we act.
Western thought sees us at war with each other over resources. In
Indigenous philosophy, we are all related as individuals in balance with
nature. Enoughness juxtaposes these two world views and delivers some
startling facts.
It is pointed out that "Indigenous peoples territory spans 24% of the earths land surface but is home to 80% of it's total biodiversity. This is not a coincidence." Well illustrated throughout, this short film is a powerful testament to living in harmony rather than in competition with each other and the earth.

Multi-species Grazing for Sustainable Farming
View the webinar to learn about the interaction between livestock,
vegetation, and soil, and management needs to extend the grazing season
and improve animal performance when managing multi-species grazing
systems.
The following topics will be discussed:
1) Livestock species and stocking rate as dynamic factors that depend on vegetation species and management;
2) How to get started with fencing and cost-effective methods to retrofit it for multi-species grazing;
3) Livestock management for reduced reliance on dewormers, fertilizer, equipment, and herbicides;
4) Livestock guardians and introducing new species;
5) Forage management for improved soil health and functioning of the soil; and
6) Forage and animal diversity. Additionally, this presentation will cover management and facilities needed for all seasons.

Intensive Rotational Grazing:
This is a presentation about the technique of intensive rotational grazing. This video talks about how intensive rotational grazing works and the intent and the science behind it. If you are thinking of using intensive rotational grazing on your farm, this is the video for you......
The Regrarians Platform
The Regrarians Platform is
the basis of work flow & decision-making for all of Regrarians Ltd.
& HeenanDoherty Pty. Ltd. work in designing, developing &
training in the field of Regenerative Agriculture & Living. The
Regrarians Platform is based on the 'Keyline Scale of Permanence' developed by the late, great Australian agricultural designer, P.A. Yeomans as outlined in his 1958 classic, 'The Challenge of Landscape'.
The big evolution in the Regrarians Platform over Yeomans' Keyline Scale of Permanence is its inclusion of social & economic themes,
whereas Yeomans scale was very much centred on agriculture. The
Regrarians Platform also has changes in some of the headings and adds 9. Marketing & 10. Energy to Yeomans original eight headings.
