Carbon8 presents a story of Regenerative Agriculture that is more than just fixing the soil and removing toxic chemicals from our food chain. It is instead, the story of how, together, we regenerated Country.
The Community of Practice offers resources and guidance to farmers at various stages of their regenerative journey. It encourages collaboration among farmers to find practical and natural solutions for farming challenges.
Our outcomes matrix and 3-month verification process provide a comprehensive and reliable assessment of regenerative practices, offering transparency and trust to farmers, consumers, and stakeholders.

“Farmers have custodianship of 61% percent of Australia's Landmass.
Australia has the highest mammal extinction rate in the world. 1800 of our Aussie animals and plants are at risk of extinction. Our Elders are now coming forward and they believe all regeneration must start with the animals.
For these animals to thrive, not just survive, it is an imperative that we regenerate Australian Farmland.
Your contribution as a Custodian of Agriculture will help farmers transition to regenerative agriculture and save our endangered animals.
This is your legacy.”
We sat with Bundjalung Cultural Elder, Uncle Lewis Walker of Whalubul Country,
and shared our desires to merge our regenerative farmers with the wisdom of
our Original People.
He sat up, turned towards us and
simply stated;
It starts with the Animals...
All the land on which Australians stand has a Totem Animal
Each Totem Animal is linked to the thousands of First Nation tribal areas around Australia.
Carbon8 connects Farmers and Elders together to share knowledge on how to protect these sacred animals...
...and connects consumers with their Totem Animal to reconnect us with our animals.
“In the sunburnt expanses of Australia, every totem animal
—from the bounding kangaroo to the wise turtle— carries an ancient connection to the land's health.
When these animals thrive, the soil is rich, the rivers flow pure, and the the forests stand tall. Yet, whenever these totem animals struggle and suffer, the land suffers with them. Our People, recognizing this sacred bond, turn to the totem animals for guidance.
Through stories, symbols and listening to country, we learn the land's needs.
Right now, the land needs us to reconnect with our nature and that starts by understanding the totem of your land.”

Carbon8’s Community of Practice is a place for farmers to learn and share methods of farming that regenerate nature instead of mining from it.
“Starting Carbon8 was my commitment to building a community of farmers to share knowledge and support each other in finding practical, natural solutions to farm management challenges.
Our Community of Practice (COP) serves as a hub where farmers exchange insights and successes, exploring new sciences like soil biology and carbon sequestration.
The result is natural abundance and rewards in financial and generational resilience for farmers embracing regenerative practices.
As consumers experience the vitality of regeneratively grown produce, they will drive the shift away from industrial farming towards rewarding regenerative heroes in our agricultural community.”

Carbon8 was born out of the 2017 drought, a critical time that made us question if droughts were an inevitable part of Australia's future.
This led us to discover regenerative agriculture and soil improvement as practical solutions, concepts that were not as widely recognized back then.
Our goal became to demystify regenerative agriculture, moving it from the realm of complex science to mainstream awareness.
We initiated The Art Department, collaborating with artists globally to turn intricate ideas into understandable and engaging visuals, making regenerative agriculture both clear and relatable.
“At its essence, farming is an art form, a living sculpture shaped by the farmer's vision. It is a canvas where every decision moulds the landscape of tomorrow. While agriculture may be reduced to a mere industry at its worst, our mission at Carbon8 is to elevate it to an art form at its best.
Recognizing the inherent beauty of nature, we celebrate the fusion of agriculture and artistry. In this synthesis, we discover that creativity is inherent in the natural world, and diversity emerges as the linchpin for regeneration.
As stewards of the land, we strive to foster a harmonious relationship between humanity and the environment, transcending the dichotomy between industry and creativity. ”
