Profitable Regenerative Agriculture
Inventors and practitioners of Regenerative Agricultural practices have embraced the use of multimedia to tell their story. Hundreds of land managers throughout Australia have bought DVD’s telling the story of Pasture Cropping and No Kill Cropping.
Stories showcasing the concepts and stories of farmers implementing these practices have helped empower farmers to embrace change. This knowledge has helped increase the resilience of their farming systems, delivered valuable environmental outcomes, increased financially viability and reduced their exposure to risk.
Many of these video clips produced by Ripple Multimedia can be viewed at these websites:

A sample of a few of these clips are viewable below.
The most environmentally friendly vehicle in the world!
Michael Inwood has developed a completely integrated farm management system where his electric vehicle is a critical component in producing wool and grain that is Carbon Positive. Yes, this is not spin. Listen to the story and make up your own mind. This is a project which hopefully will inspire land managers, policy makers and entrepreneurs that Carbon Positive Agriculture is possible. His website is listed in the Web Links section.

The following clip was produced to illustrate how an ordinary farmer with limited financial outlay, can use his resourcefulness and available equipment to implement these practice.A left field approach to Saltbush planting.
Bruce Maynard from Willydah near Narromine in Central NSW has always thought outside the box. Bruce experimented with various patterns and approaches in establishing Saltbush on his farm and found that circular and finally concentric ring patterns were best as they prevented the wind blowout issue that happens when you plant in rows.
The following clip is a simple multimedia pan across one of his plantings, using a panorama photo, created in Adobe Photoshop from a compilation of photos and then taken into a video editing program to deliver a simple product as illustrated. The audio track was recorded in stereo on his farm in this vicinity.
