The 'Give it a go' demonstrations and field walk are part of RegenWA’s project, Accelerating Regenerative Agriculture Adoption, which aims to increase the uptake of evidence-based regenerative agriculture practices across Western Australia.
The project, funded by the Western Australian Government’s State NRM Program, aims to empower Western Australian farmers with knowledge, skills, networks and access to local demonstrations to apply regenerative practices based on their context.
