Are You Regen Ready?

1.

How much research or learning have you done about regenerative farming?

I haven’t done much research yet, but I’m open to learning more.

I’ve done some research and have started to implement a few regenerative practices.

I actively research and implement regenerative farming practices and continuously seek to improve.

2.

Do you consider soil as a living system?

No, I primarily see soil as just a medium for plant growth.

I am starting to focus on soil health and am aware of its biological components.

Yes, I actively treat my soil as a biology lab, monitoring and enhancing microbial life

3.

What is your approach to fertiliser use on crops and pastures?

I use synthetic fertilisers as the main source of nutrients for my crops and pastures.

I use a combination of synthetic and organic fertilisers, depending on the situation.

I predominantly use organic amendments, such as compost, liquid fish and seaweed, biochar, and rock phosphate.

4.

How often do you use synthetic fertilisers on your farm?

Frequently, I rely on them to boost crop and pasture growth.

Occasionally, I use them, but I am exploring alternatives.

Rarely or never, I prefer to rely on natural inputs.

5.

How do you manage your farm’s biodiversity (plants, animals, insects, etc.)?

I mainly focus on monocultures and a small number of animal species.

I have some diversity in my crops or animals but not a wide range.

My farm is highly diverse, with a wide range of crops, animals, and beneficial plants.

6.

How do you handle pests and diseases on your farm?

I rely on synthetic chemicals and pesticides for pest and disease control.

I occasionally use natural methods, but I still use chemicals when needed.

I prefer natural pest management practices like companion planting, biological control, or organic sprays

7.

How do you view soil regeneration in your farming system?

I don’t focus on soil regeneration as a priority; I am mainly concerned with immediate production.

I recognise the importance of soil health but haven’t fully implemented regenerative practices yet.

Soil regeneration is a core part of my farming philosophy, and I implement practices that rebuild soil health over time.

8.

How financially prepared are you for the changes required for regenerative farming?

I’m unsure of what specific changes are necessary and need more guidance.

I’m ready to make a start on some necessary changes, such as no-till practices and diversified crops.

I’m willing to adapt, but need help understanding the details of what will be required.

9.

What is your outlook on how regenerative practices will improve soil health?

I’m skeptical that regenerative farming will significantly improve soil health and resilience.

I understand the potential benefits but need more evidence of how it will improve soil long-term.

I believe regenerative farming will improve my soil’s health and resilience to weather challenges.

10.

How ready are you to take the first steps in transitioning to regenerative farming?

I’m unsure where to start and need guidance and support to begin the transition.

I’m ready to start, and I know there are support networks to guide me through the process.

I need more information about the support available and how to begin the transition.
