Landscape-scale pilot 3: Regenerative agriculture & sustainable farming
Pilot progress
Pilot outcomes
Increased regional food security
Protecting agricultural land so it can produce sufficient, safe, and nutritious food
Flood, fire, drought resilience
Sustaining natural resources, ensuring long-term agricultural productivity and resilience against climate change
Climate resilient landscapes
Decreasing topsoil loss in upper catchments from fast-flowing water
Cleaner drinking water
Restoring vegetation along the riverbanks to contain erosion and sediment flowing downstream which ultimately increases the quality of drinking water which then needs less processing before it gets to the tap
Biodiversity
Increasing overall species richness and diversity, plus protecting native and threatened species
Farm business resilience
Improved agricultural business outcomes and consistency through drought resilient landscapes
Increased water quality
Restoring vegetation along the riverbanks to contain erosion and sediment flowing downstream which increases water quality both in waters flowing out into our ocean
