Be part of the food revolution.
The way we produce our food is killing our planet. Industrialised agriculture contributes massively to global emissions, destroys forests, and sucks rivers dry. Even our health is being put at risk by the industrialised way in which we make our food.
But there is hope. Regenerative farming holds the key to saving our environment, cleaning up our rivers, locking away climate emissions and rebuilding biodiversity.
Regenerative farming works with nature rather than against it. By diversifying, building healthy soil, reducing costly and environmentally damaging inputs like chemical fertiliser, and lowering stocking rates – farms can start giving back to nature.
New Zealand is perfectly placed to lead the way in this agricultural revolution. Together we can save our freshwater and change the future of food and farming.
We want you to take action because together we're strong.
