Take an in-depth look at the Transformative Aboriginal Agricultural Methods project. Led in partnership by Maaman Marra Boodjar and Edith Cowan University, this project brings together Aboriginal knowledge systems and regenerative agriculture to explore new ways of healing Country, improving soil health and building drought resilience.
Watch the webinar recording with project leads Clint Hansen, Dr David Blake, and Professor Janine Joyce, who share how the project worked on-Country with farmers, researchers and Traditional Owners to apply Aboriginal landscape rehydration practices alongside modern monitoring tools.
The session explores the project’s key learnings, including the importance of trust, yarning and place-based collaboration, as well as early outcomes from landscape rehydration trials, and what’s needed to expand this work. Hear how SW WA funding enabled a genuinely co-created approach to resilience grounded in culture, science and Country.
This project is supported by the South-West WA Drought Resilience Adoption and Innovation Hub through funding from the Australian Government’s Future Drought Fund.
