An inspiring, positive, data-driven, human, and good humoured film about Adaptive Multi Paddock grazing (regenerative agriculture), and its beneficial impacts. I’ve watched many films on this topic over the years, and this one beats them all! I was moved to tears seeing what is and what can be, so I got in touch with the filmmakers in the US and secured permission to screen it all around New Zealand.

Supporting regeneration through events that Inspire, Inform, Educate and Connect. Currently focussed on the new film: Roots So Deep

I was delighted by how Chris Martin and #coldplaynz held such a human space of love and respect and caring.

And by explicit references to #regenerativeagriculture and a whole bunch of positive change initiatives the band is supporting.

My daughter wanted to be up front, so we’re here 4 hours before they come on.

Focus on immune support, and time.

Sahra on the benefits she’s experienced transitioning to regenerative farming with Russ and Charlotte Heald @russ_regenag

Sahra has been working with @russ_regenag for almost three years. She describes her experience of the transition after ten years of conventional dairy farming.

Sahra will be at the #rootssodeep film tonight, by

If you’re anywhere near Norsewood. Come along.

See link on profile page, for the schedule and tickets for this and other events.

Reeling up the wire from last night, while learning about the benefits of longer pastures, that offer cows a feed balanced in protein and fibre.

Thanks for giving us a little insight into your adaptive grazing practice Russ. I love the summary of your reducing stress, farming model.

Have the courage to give it a go.
