Regenerative agriculture - a return to farming wisdom

Author, mother and regenerative agriculturalist, Rachael Treasure farms near Richmond with her partner Daniel Loré and teenagers, Rosie and Charlie.
They are regenerating 100 acres using holistic grazing, no-till cropping and Natural Sequence Farming techniques.
Educated at universities in Orange and Bathurst, Rachael is a former rural journalist for the Tasmanian Country, Stock and Land and ABC rural radio.
In 2002 Rachael’s first novel, Jillaroo, kick-started the boom in contemporary rural women’s fiction.

Rachael’s latest novel, White Horses uses storytelling to inspire insight and create a shared vision for a new age in agriculture where pure food and ecological health drive rural industry.
