SOIL

ASPECT AND SLOPE

The direction in which sloping land faces and the angle at which land inclines

Aspect is important to consider when designing a regenerative farm. For example, land that faces the hot westerly sun, and is angled in such a way that the sun’s rays hit hardest every hot summer afternoon

CLIMATE

As the saying goes, 'Climate is what you expect; weather is what you get’.

The word ‘climate’ and the kinds of climates we name (temperate, tropical, arid) describe long-term patterns in annual and seasonal temperature, precipitation, humidity and wind.

Biodiversity

MICROCLIMATE

Large or small, microclimates are specific to a place.

A microclimate is an area inside a larger climate area with consistently warmer, or cooler temperatures, higher or lower humidity, and higher or lower wind speeds, affecting rates of evaporation and erosion.

Water

SOIL WATER

Storing water in the soil.

We learn in science that water always flows to the lowest point, but this may present a distorted picture of what happens in well-structured, biologically active soil, at the micro level.

Water

Precipitation

The wet stuff but not just rain.

The Bureau of Meteorology defines precipitation as: ‘Any or all of the forms of water, whether liquid (e.g. rain, drizzle) or solid (e.g. hail, snow)

Water

Wind

Wind, weather, evaporation and humidity are all connected.

Wind speed and direction are key considerations in the design of any regenerative farm, affecting microclimates, contributing to evaporation and erosion.

Biodiversity

DESIGN DECISIONS

Considering the whole system not just its parts.

Regenerative farming is not a one-size-fits all approach. It relies on a series of decisions, made as a result of observation, knowledge and expertise.

SOIL

SOIL TYPE & STRUCTURE

Everything comes down to soil

Regenerative farmers sometimes see themselves first as custodians of soil and second as producers of a product.

WATER CATCHMENT

Catch me while you can.

Did you know that you live in a catchment? In fact, every person on the planet lives in a catchment.

SOIL

SOIL TYPE

Stay Grounded.

While many people know that the climate affects what plants will grow, the type of soil makes a difference too.
