This project will help graziers in the Northern Tablelands area build their ability to manage soil health, grazing landscapes and grazing enterprise through structured learning and skills building in a social setting through the Reboot Your Grazing Program delivered by Soil Land Food https://soillandfood.com.au/

Soil Land Food is an independent consultancy specialising in capacity building, training, consulting and extension for farmers, graziers and rural communities. We cover soils, regenerative and organic farming systems, composting, rural landscapes, food systems and rural change.

These include Landcare extension, agronomy, soils, agribusiness, biofertiliser R&D and manufacturing, organics, training, and consulting positions. For many years he also helped run a regional farmers market business with his wife. He has also worked on rural cooperative and social enterprise projects.
