TWEED Shire Council has launched a new online platform to support the region’s farming community migrating towards regenerative agriculture.<\/p>\n

The Tweed Regenerative Agriculture Information Network (TRAIN) provides a farmer-led space for sharing local knowledge, practical experiences and innovative ideas to help strengthen regenerative agriculture.<\/p>\n

The platform aims to share local knowledge, exchange practical ideas and participate in on-farm learnings and proven regenerative practices.<\/p>\n

It also strengthens community connections, encourages innovation, promotes local events and regenerates the landscape to protect soil health, biodiversity and long-term productivity.<\/p>\n

The council’s sustainable agriculture project officer, Aiden Sloman, said the platform was developed in response to growing interest and the need for a central hub to support collaboration.<\/p>\n

“TRAIN is about empowering our local farming community to share what’s working, learn from each other and build a more resilient and connected agricultural future for the Tweed,” Sloman said.<\/p>\n

“One of the platform’s key features is its ‘TRAIN Talks’, a safe discussion forum where users can ask questions, share insights and connect with others working on similar challenges.<\/p>\n

“The first step is to grow this network. To do this, we need community members visiting the TRAIN page, starting or contributing to conversations, or inviting others to get involved.”<\/p>\n

Tweed Shire Council’s Sustainable Agriculture Program is supporting the initiative as a commitment under its NSW Environmental Trust-funded Profitable Regenerative Farming Program.<\/p>\n
