Insight 9/10 on our travels is rooted in one thing: LOVE. 💚
Love for the soil that feeds us.
Love for the seeds planted with intention.
Love for the ecosystems we depend on.
Love for the communities we nourish.
Love for the future we’re growing.

Regenerative farming isn’t just a method it’s a relationship.
A commitment. A promise to give back more than we take.

Every compost pile, every cover crop, every worm wiggling through healthy soil is a reminder 💚When we care for the land, the land cares for us.

Let’s grow health. 🙌
Let’s grow community. 🤩
Let’s grow LOVE. 💚

Insight 8 of 10: The farmers we meet are driven by purpose, finding fulfillment in regenerating the land and empowering their communities. A profound realisation shared by one farmer resonates deeply: “When I shifted my focus from what I needed to kill to what I wanted to grow, my happiness transformed.” These pivotal moments spark a profound shift.
We're inspired by their stories, tenacity, and commitment to regenerative practices in the face of drought, fire, flood and economic challenges.
But what we keep hearing is that Regenerative practices foster resilience, and within that resilience lies joy and pride 🌱

Insight 7: Thinking in Wholes, Not Sectors
One of my favourite podcasts we have created is ‘The missing middle’ on about the opportunity for integrated forestry in Australia.
At the heart of this episode is a simple truth, that we shouldn’t think of agriculture and forestry as separate worlds. The landscape doesn’t recognise those boundaries, and neither should we. When we look at the whole system, rather than its isolated parts, we open the door to healthier soils, resilient farms, and landscapes that can sustain both people and nature. That’s why I love this conversation: it reminds us that the most powerful solutions come from seeing the land as a connected, living whole.

Insight 6: The intelligence of Living Systems
At every farm we visit we discuss soil. With industrial farming a simple truth was lost. The land is an intelligent living system.

It already knows how to build soil, cycle nutrients, balance pests, store water, and regenerate itself.
Its wisdom is ancient.Its capacity for healing is enormous. It just needs the right conditions to express it.

And one of the most powerful conditions? Plant diversity.

Diverse plants are like a living choir beneath our feet, each one sending out different root exudates, feeding different microbes, creating different channels for water,
offering different nutrients back to the soil.

When you increase plant diversity,
you increase microbial diversity…
which increases soil diversity…
which increases ecosystem diversity… which increases resilience.

It is a beautiful thing to see farmers breathing life back into the soil. 🌱💚

Insight #5: Identity

When we asked farmers what made them rethink their whole approach, their answers weren’t about science first. They were about identity.
At some point, ecological farming stopped feeling like a threat
and started feeling like an upgrade.
When regenerative practices matched the kind of person they wanted to be… a steward of the land, innovator, protector, community builder, they didn’t just change how they farmed.
They began to see their whole life through a different lens.
Because in the end, people change when the new path feels like their truest self.

Insight 4: Natural systems
In so many of our conversations with farmers in our podcasts and films, people opened up about the ways their health or the health of someone they love has been affected by agricultural chemicals.
Contrary to some media articles, wanting to reduce synthetic chemicals isn’t anti-farmer. If anything, it’s deeply pro-farmer. It comes from wanting the people who grow our food to stay safe, healthy, and supported. It comes from care.
When farmers talk about using fewer chemicals, they’re usually thinking about the bigger picture the soil, the water, the wildlife, and the communities all connected to farming. An ecological mindset understands how everything is linked.
We have been focusing on bees this week. About 70% of bee species actually live underground. So when chemicals are applied to the land, they’re not just hitting pests they’re hitting the very creatures we rely on for pollination and healthy crops.
What practices have you changed so you no longer require synthetic inputs?

Insight #3: Partnership With Nature 🌱

We’ve been hearing from many farmers that the biggest change in their journey is moving from trying to control nature to learning how to work with it.

For some, pests and weeds have become indicators instead of enemies.
For others, healthy soil biology or more diversity in the fields has brought new resilience.
Everyone’s path looks a little different, and we’re learning a lot from the way farmers experiment, observe, and adapt.

🔸 What’s one natural process you’ve learned to trust instead of control?

Insight 2: The Power of Finding Your People
After years of listening to farmers share their stories through our podcasts, films, and many conversations one insight comes up again and again: the regenerative journey feels very different when you’re not doing it alone.

Many people tell us that trying new practices or rethinking their relationship to their land can feel isolating at first. But the moment they find community, everything shifts.
When farmers walk the paddocks together, swap stories, compare notes, or get their hands dirty side-by-side, something powerful happens. Confidence grows.

We’ve seen this across every story we capture: the biggest transformations happen when farmers learn from one another. Sometimes it’s even sparked equipment and land sharing.

Groups like the eight families who have made their group more formalised have inspired other to create groups across Australia. Peer support brings the knowledge, encouragement, and accountability that make real change possible.

Finding your people is finding your resilience. 🌱💛

Insight #1: Curiosity becomes a management strategy.
Ecological farmers treat the land like a conversation, observing, experimenting, and adjusting as they learn. 🌱 Sometimes the biggest shift comes not from doing more, but from stepping back and letting nature lead.
David Marsh, a farmer in Boorowa, followed his curiosity and paused certain long-held practices to help reverse soil damage from intensive farming. That single question—“What if I stop?”—sparked a transformation. He discovered that sometimes it’s what you stop doing that allows the land to repair.
Again and again, we’ve seen that the farmers who keep asking questions are the ones who keep evolving. Most see blackberries as a problem… but others, like Bruce Davison, noticed they could actually help build soil fertility and suppress Serrated Tussock. On the Soils for Life podcast episode “Weeds Are Telling Us Something,” he shared his experience. Some farmers leaned in with curiosity—“How does that work?”—while others quickly dismissed it with “You can’t do that.”
At the heart of it all, our observations point to one truth: curiosity drives transformation. 💚.

Over the next ten days, we’re sharing 10 insights we’ve gained while creating and with incredible . 🌱🎥✨
Ten years ago, I set out to answer one question: Can farmers shift from an industrial mindset to an ecological one without going through a crisis?
So I left my job in government policy, packed up with my husband and our two little kids, and hit the road to capture the stories of around Australia. 🚐💚
What we discovered was powerful: Yes — many farmers have made the transition without a crisis. And many others walked through heartbreak, burnout, illness or loss before finding a new path.
To every farmer who has opened their gate, trusted us, and shared their story of change — thank you. Your courage lights the way for the next person. 🌱🙌
Follow along as we share these 10 insights over the coming days.

Special thanks to David Marsh for being the first to say yes and hosting our family!

Join legend Peter Hazell from Mulloon Institute as we interview three farmers on how they have managed to rehydrate their landscapes.
You can listen to Soils for Life on or the Soils for Life website.
We will dive into the powerful practice of landscape rehydration — restoring natural water cycles to drought-prone farms and degraded country. 🌱

From building leaky weirs to reconnecting streams with floodplains, you’ll hear how and landcarers are working with nature to slow the flow, store water in the landscape, and revive life in the soil.

🎧 Listen now to discover:

How rehydration builds drought resilience

Simple tools that make a big impact

Why water belongs in the land — not just on it

This is practical solutions for rural Australia. 🌾💧
