Can landscape regeneration be profitable? One of Australia's richest couples is trying to find out
- In the middle of Tasmania sits a 5,000-hectare property once used for sheep grazing. But when the sheep farmers left, an unlikely buyer moved in.
The article discusses how Andrew and Nicola Forrest, one of Australia's wealthiest couples, are investing in landscape regeneration through their company, Harvest Road Group. They are exploring whether sustainable farming practices can be both environmentally beneficial and profitable. Their approach includes regenerative agriculture, which focuses on improving soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. The couple's initiative is part of a broader movement in Australia to address climate change and land degradation while also seeking economic viability. They are experimenting with various methods like rotational grazing, cover cropping, and reducing chemical inputs to see if these practices can lead to a profitable business model that also regenerates the landscape. This effort is not only about making money but also about setting a precedent for sustainable land use that could influence agricultural practices globally.
