Abstract

This research explores the co-design, co-development and implementation of a Regenerative Agriculture Mentoring Program (RAMP) that was co-produced in consultation with the agricultural industry and delivered to farmers. The program was highly successful in applying robust educational theory and practice into the agricultural industry in Australia to enhance farmers’ knowledge about approaches to agriculture that encourage greater resilience of the land given the current pressures of climate change. In addition, the program was then used to create a professional learning program for teachers to upskills in regenerative agriculture principles and practices to improve their teaching and learning in the classroom.
