Regenerative Farming and Land Management Teaching Resources

  • Regenerative Farming Teaching Resources

    Educational units and lesson plans for Primary and Secondary teachers to get your hands dirty with regenerative farming. Explore case studies, plan regenerative gardens, and even delve into futuristic farming in space! Let's nurture the living entity beneath our feet and foster a sustainable future.

Why is regenerative farming so important?

As the global population continues to rise, so does the demand for food. But many around the world already have inadequate access to the fresh, healthy food they need. 

By learning about what’s going on in the soil and why working with natural systems can help it become healthy and strong, young people will understand how regenerative farming can help us grow the food we need to meet the population's food needs while taking better care for our planet.

About the resources

Across 21 lessons, teachers are equipped to introduce students to agricultural practices, focusing on the history and development in Australia, the principles of regenerative agriculture, and the vital role of soil health. Teachers will find hands-on activities such as creating explanatory videos, planning regenerative gardens, conducting soil experiments, and analysing the significance of soil organisms.
