SUMMARY:BSFG General Meeting-Guest Speaker Serenity Hill-Pukawidgee Farm-Regen Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Our next General Meeting will be from 7.30pm-9.30pm on Thursday 12th September 2024 at the Benalla Uniting Church\, opposite the Coles Car Park Carrier Street Benalla 3672. \nOur guest speaker for the meeting is Serenity Hill from Pukawidgee Farm. \nSerenity Hill runs a 168 ha regenerative farm in Warrenbayne: “Pukawidgee”. A self replacing flock of Australian white sheep are managed for sale as meat or livestock. She produces these in a way that regenerates diverse native pastures and revegetated grassy woodlands through increased photosynthesis and plant diversity. A longer description can be found on the Discover Regenerative website here. \nSerenity also co-founded and works in a non-profit called Open Food Network.  Open Food Network receives funding from government and philanthropy to conduct research and pilot new approaches to agriculture and food systems.  Current projects include:\n1) the national Discover Regenerative Platform\, aimed at showcasing regenerative agriculture to business buyers.\n2) a Food Subsidy Pilot Project\, funded by Citibank foundation\, to develop a voucher system to help low income households access good food. \nSerenity also advises Sustainable Table which directs philanthropic funds to food system transformation and Moving Feast\, which is a collaboration of food social enterprises in Victoria.  She is on the steering committee of the National Regenerative Agriculture Advocacy project\, which coordinates advocacy to the Federal government around regenerative agriculture. \nSerenity compiled and maintains the publicly available Agroecology and Regenerative Agriculture Knowledge Commons which is a 110 page compendium of the published science pertaining to agroecology and regenerative agriculture. \nAfter the meeting supper will be available. \nRSVP: bsfginc@gmail.com.  Download the flyer.
