Can regenerative sheep grazing systems improve drought resilience? What are the long-term implications of regenerative agriculture for farm business profits?
These are some of the questions being examined in a long-term farm trial in northern Tasmania.
Funded by the Commonwealth Government’s Future Drought Fund, the Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture (TIA) is conducting a long-term sheep grazing trial to examine implications of regenerative grazing on pasture growth and recovery, soil carbon, greenhouse gas emissions and long-term profitability.
TIA Professor Matthew Harrison said the project aims to develop farming systems that increase the capacity of farmers to prepare for and respond to drought, extreme weather events and long-term climate change.
TIA will host a field demonstration this week at Evandale to showcase the grazing trial to Tasmanian farmers and industry.
