What are the challenges for your farmers and food gardeners? The courses delivered by Learning from Nature will support them to address the underlying causes (see topics below). We deliver these courses online or by visiting your community. Participants develop practical solutions for their farms and gardens.

We'll work with you to customise the content for your target group. If the topics listed don’t suit, talk to us about designing tailored opportunities for your specific needs.

Delivery costs are AU$3,000.

We follow-up individually with course participants.

Discuss with us opportunities to improve outcomes through post-course support. Mechanisms include peer support group coaching (remote or on-site) and site visits to evaluate program outcomes and extend program engagement beyond initial course participants.

We all talk about healthy soil, but what do we actually mean? Healthy soil is essentially soil with a functioning ecosystem because issues like low levels of organic matter, nutrient deficiencies, and compacted soil are simply the consequences of growing food in poorly working ecosystems.

In this course, participants develop practical solutions to repair their soil ecosystems. By tackling the root cause of the problems with their soil, they reduce their input costs and build soil that is more resilient to and recovers quicker from the impacts of drought, flooding rain and other extreme weather.

We’re getting harder hit by drought. Standard solutions no longer seem enough. Earthworks like swales, contour banks, natural sequence farming, and keyline design help. But there is a remarkably cost-effective technique that we tend to overlook – simply getting more water infiltrating and stored in our soil.

This course combines the science with the experiences of farmers to give participants the know-how to develop practical solutions suitable for their farm.

We’re getting harder hit by drought. Standard solutions help – spreading mulch, growing drought-tolerant plants, using irrigation and recycled grey water. But there is a remarkably straightforward solution we tend to overlook – simply getting more water into and stored in our soil.

It's disheartening seeing our hard work destroyed by pests and diseases. We can switch to purchasing non-toxic pest controls and good bugs to control bad bugs.

However, by creating pest-resistant landscapes for our farms, we naturally reduce pest issues. Participants leave this course with practical ideas for creating a pest resistant landscape for their farm.
