ABOUT

Our focus is to help you with solutions to our changing and challenging agricultural environment. We need solutions that are environmentally friendly, build food quality and are simple and financially sustainable.

​

Often when we think about our farming business we just think about whats above the soil, yield and stock. But its the soil that we rely upon to grow the pasture or crop. We also know that soil is more than just chemistry and physical structure. But how much attention and time do we really pay to the biology and how ALL three areas impact and interact with each other, the environment and your overall business. At Our Future Land we show and explain the links, then we work with you to develop and improve your farm. 

​​

We realise at Our Future Land that every farm is different, from the soil, the enterprise, contour, the climate and the way its managed. These factors all have an impact on all of the natural cycles that occur within the soil. These cycles are also closely linked to soil and water quality, nutrient movement, profitability, sustainability. Effectively the overall health of the environment and business.

​​​

This is why we believe that we need to consider the whole system. We need to build agricultural systems that sustain and enhance the environment, renew soils, provide nutrient dense crops, resulting in healthy animals and people.

​

If we are to remain farming for the generations to come we must start now. We all rely on agriculture and need it to be sustainable.

​

How we farm today will affect tomorrow and we have the knowledge and skills to change the future. We can't change our past..... but we can determine our destiny.
