Straight answers to fair questions
If you're weighing up a change to your farm system, you've probably got questions — about production, margins, timelines, and whether any of this actually stacks up. Here are the ones we hear most. If yours isn't here, get in touch and we'll give you a straight answer.
There's increasing evidence of farmers across the country achieving much better long-term profitability through biological / regenerative management approaches, and Groundshift is actively working to build this evidence base to give farmers more confidence.
Improved profitability is being achieved through a mix of reduced costs, improved performance and in some cases market premiums (i.e. through certifications such as Regenified or Savory). If your transition is well managed and supported, you don't need to expect a profitability dip — and you don't need to change everything overnight. Working with Groundshift is a way to achieve your goals quickly and reliably with significantly lower risk than going it alone.
Organic is a certification with strict rules and an audit trail. Regenerative is a direction of travel, and you can be moving that direction without ever going near a certification body. Plenty of our clients run regenerative systems with no intention of going organic, and that's a completely legitimate place to land.
Strip away the marketing language and these terms just mean that you are learning from and leaning on natural systems, working with biology and ultimately leaving this land in better shape than you found it.
Better soil structure, better water retention, more resilient pasture, less reliance on bought-in inputs to prop the whole thing up.
