Recipients of the 2024-2025 Regenerative Agriculture Small Grants Program were:

Roslyn Mulcahy - Mulcahy Macadamias. Funding will support the introduction of beneficial insects to control pests and disease in a macadamia orchard. This project showcases a range of biological practices that create a healthy ecosystem and reduce the need for herbicides.
Riki Ektone - Yankee Creek Farm. This project will demonstrate how electric fencing and irrigation can be set up to keep livestock away from river areas and allow for holistically managed grazing.
Karen Gross – The Paddock Project Mullumbimby. This project will trial the effectiveness of biological spray at 3 key growth stages: seed sowing, transplant and foliar spraying. A workshop will share findings and teach the community how to make compost and biological sprays.
Jeanie Wylie – Fridas Field. This project will set up a worm farm to compost restaurant waste. The resulting worm juice will be used to fertilise the restaurants market garden and will also be tested on a trial paddock to see its benefits in a pastoral context.
