Action Ecology provides regenerative land use advice, focusing on connecting people with the right knowledge - helping them develop strategies to improve the design, health and management of land to be more productive & resilient, both ecologically and economically. This is achieved using a suite of methodologies, strategies and techniques that are effective - and informed by the latest research across a range of scientific fields - such as ecology and soil biology (amongst others). We learn from the best - across wide range of disciplines - building connections so that we can share that as well as channel new ideas and approaches to where they are most needed.

Why 'Action Ecology'? : Humanity's most important work
This video is a short introduction to my work through Action Ecology, and why regenerative agriculture, agroecology and sustainable land use (however you like to refer to it) is arguably the most important work the humanity has ever had to do - because everything else depends on it.

Hello there I have 150 acres in the Far North Northland Hard pan soil Covered in a mixture of young gorse, ti tree & grass where do start regarding regenerative farming I believe it's the only way to go
It also starts flat then starts to drop down towards the beach To which the back end of the block is big forest of ti tree
Bloody great presentation mate, just found this 5 years later!
😊
It's wonderful to see dairy cattle clearly getting all the nutrition they need, in its natural diet. Your herd looks incredibly healthy and happy, and not gaunt as we (urbanite non-farmers) associte with dairy cattle. Beautiful!!
even accounting for breed differences. This farmer is a natural teacher. well done.
Thanks mate
Aotearoa's finest brother, epic work!
Thanks for sharing!
really helpful thanks
Very interesting i think your on the right track Dean

Great to see regen ag practices on a dairy unit.
I've got trees on my farm and bugger all grass grows under them. They drop leaves and compete for light. I'd love to see someone incorporate trees while maintaining grass growth.
Silvopasture isn't just a tight clump of trees, but space between trees and there are grass varieties that handle dappled light or partial shade . Perhaps you need more variety in your pasture, or your ground needs smaller temporary paddocks with more rest between grazing.
@@leelindsay5618 the trees and grass are competing for the sun's energy to perform photosynthesis. The shaded grass will not produce as well as unshaded grass because it is receiving less energy. Please tell me how I'm wrong.
Good luck. Regen Ag doesn't need to be conflated with any other name, title or movement. it is largely a complete answer that encompasses all of man's most threatening existential threats, desert reversal, cleaner run off, reducing erosion, complete nutrition, less stressed farmers, the atmospheric carbon fantasy, etc. When you say 'now is the time' in one respect you couldn't be more right. The uptick in the cost of Industrial Ag practices is going to bankrupt many. An opportunity for those who have been in the RA game longer? That depends on many things but the reactionary mindset, particularly of the family farm is a major obstacle. _Tradition is being peer-pressured by dead people._
Love what Russel is doing on his farm and for the enviornment
Ok this was pretty amazing. Saving the world and making a buck doing it
He makes a good point. The interview process should do some of the basic tests, infiltration, plant variety and range, perhaps even a Brix test.
This is brilliant. Challenges: those old farts down at the pub telling you it's a big mistake, and will be sorry. Then the savings on input costs let's you buy that pub and build them a glass-walled room so the tradition dies off quietly and naturally. _Tradition is peer pressure from dead people._ To turn that erosion gully 21:12 into a trickle dam. see: Peter Andrews example in Oz. th-cam.com/video/jH-z-chTDvI/w-d-xo.html
Bloody amazing to see this
Fantastic video
keeep on going you are doing a great job
Awesome video. Incredible what he’s doing.
Excellent video
Look at the grass on those hills! Awesome
Carbon credit farming is the future for sure. Don't forget all the phosphorus you will bring on the farm via birds and the benefit the tree leaves will do for the soil and the animals. Great videa lads
Outstanding work and attitude. Thank you.
some great explanations.
Very interesting. Want to set this up on my few acres. Slight difficulty is keeping the animals, horses / sheep back from the growing trees.
4:11 he mentions a hot wire to protect the trees
