Grounds for Growth

A first-ever for the Australian dairy industry, Grounds for Growth is a soil and pasture biodiversity event supporting farmers with adopting multi-species pastures and other practices to improve soil health and function.

Insights from biodiversity experts

This three-day event was held in Warrnambool on 4-6 March 2025 and equipped farmers to make informed decisions about the right soil and pasture systems for their individual farming needs by:

• Gaining insights from local and international biodiversity experts.

• Hearing from farmers successfully using multi-species pastures and other practices.

• Visiting biodiverse farms in-person and by virtual tour for a showcase on latest farm developments.

The event was proudly sponsored by Warrnambool City Council, Gardiner Foundation and Meat & Livestock Australia.
