Celebrate the National Regenerative Agriculture Day and find out what the magic soilution is to reduce the impacts of drought and fire.

About this Event

What is the magic ingredient to create carbon rich soils and also support the transformation of our Australian landscapes in a time of fire catastrophe and continuing landscape degradation?

Join farmers and foodies, scientists, creatives and change-makers at this showcase event. We are taking a deep dive into discussions around Fire, Carbon, Water and a bit of magic to learn how we can, together, help mitigate fire and rehydrate our farms.

Enjoy delicious morning tea and lunch at the Mulloon Institute made by local caterers and take a journey to visit Martin Royd's farm at Jillamatong, Braidwood in the afternoon.

Meet inspiring people who are all keen to find better ways to regenerate our soils, our land, our farming practices and our communities. Let the urban and rural meet, engage and inspire.

Join us for the formal launch of the Clean Energy Regulator's Handbook for farmers wanting to learn how to join the Carbon Market.
