How Fast Can You Regenerate a Farm?
Can a farm really bounce back from erosion and drought? In this episode, I visit Martin Royds at Jillamatong (Braidwood, NSW), a long term practitioner of natural sequence farming and regenerative agriculture, who has spent 30 years rehydrating his property, restoring wetlands, and increasing biodiversity. But that’s not all — I also meet Phoebe, who has transformed her farm in just 3 years using the same techniques. This side-by-side look reveals how quickly (and effectively) you can turn degraded farmland into thriving landscapes with the right practices.
