Rachel’s Farm
Rachel’s Farm is a timely and valuable education resource for teachers and students across the nation that investigates, questions and compares post-colonial agricultural principles with an alternative regenerative approach to farming.
As a teaching resource, Rachel’s Farm aligns directly with the Australian Curriculum Senior Secondary: Geography, Biology, Agricultural Studies, and Earth and Environmental Science. However, as a local Australian case study that reveals positive solutions to natural resource management, it can be easily adapted to meet the learning objectives of any classroom level.
Focusing on the four pillar principles of Regenerative Agriculture through Rachel’s personal journey in the film, the documentary also portrays a generational shift in farm practice thinking, and the powerful potential of women farmers in regenerative farming.
