How do we expose the next generation of farmers to regenerative agriculture? Why is an 1100-hectare farm in a very high and dry area in one of the most threatened places when it comes to desertification, the perfect location to run and build a Regeneration Academy. A place where we can also expose active senior business leaders to regeneration.
