Regenerating landscapes and minds

Regenerative agriculture is creating positive ecological, as well as economic, outcomes for landholders across central Queensland. Facing crippling drought, rapid technological advances and higher global demand, the pressure on farmers and soil is at an all-time high.

In this episode, FBA chats with RegenAg® co-founder Kym Kruse, on how he has successfully supported landholders to make a mental shift, allowing them to adopt new practices that build soil health and increase production. Central Queensland dryland croppers and innovators, Myles and Julie Ballantine, share their experience working with both Kym and FBA to trial and transform their enterprise.

Harvesting sunshine and gravity

Planting a single tree is the easiest legacy any human can make. A tree can last centuries, produce oxygen and improve human wellbeing. Environmentally, a tree stabilises soil, preventing sediment run off into waterways. Habitats and sanctuaries are created for wildlife.In this episode, we speak to Shelly McArdle about how she has watched indigenous youth restore habitat at their school in Yeppoon. Across the way, Sabrina Burke from Cap Coast Landcare paints a picture of the volunteers who are having similar impacts further down the Figtree catchment.Bringing these two projects together results in improved water quality draining into the Great Barrier Reef across the Capricorn Coast.
