G'day,

Good to hear from you Holger...we are definitely going to be working in
Mexico (and else where in Latin America) with COAS and we are in Mexico in
May of 2010 conducting both HM & Keyline trainings there to follow up on
what we started there last September with the Keyline & GIS (which you
attended) workshops in El Arenal and Carbon Farming Planned Grazing
workshops with the Mexican Registered Cattle Association in Tepatitlan in
November. Soil Food Web-trained Doug Weatherbee (www.soildoctor.org) is also
consulting to COAS as part of that plank, which we are looking to include in
the trainings in MX too.

Obviously Eugenio Gras is deeply involved with all of this and it is likely
that COAS will become part of the RegenAG team (Eugenio already being a
RegenAG trainer in AU & NZ), opening up opportunities for folks outside of
Mexico to come down and do courses with COAS, along with locals themselves,
to whom the courses will be focussed.

Indeed we already have some interest in people coming down and doing
the Curso Maquinaria Pesada Keyline Cosecha de Agua (Heavy Equipment &
Keyline Water Harvesting Course) in Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mexico, May 14-17,
2010 (
http://www.coas.com.mx/cms/calendario.html?task=view_detail&agid=87&year=2010&month=05&day=15&catids=36
).

RegenAG per se has only been going a couple of months and so it is all early
days and this year we have a lot of planning to conduct amongst the partners
to ready ourselves for 2011 and beyond with the planned expansion of the
program.

All the best,

Darren

>> G'day,
>>
>> Over the last few years we have put much effort and energy into expanding
>> the reach of regenerative agricultural methods around the world via a
>> range
>> of novel courses such as the Keyline Design Course, Carbon Farming Course,
>> Carbon Economy Course and Pathways to Relocalisation involving leading
>> practitioners in their respective fields. Thousands of people in Oceania,
>> North America and Europe have been exposed to these events and this has
>> resulted in a significant amount of activity on the ground. What's more
>> for
>> the 1st time we have seen methodologies such as Keyline, Holistic
>> Management, Permaculture, Soil Food Web, ZERI and others brought together
>> in
>> formal trainings where the integration of these methods has been actively
>> encouraged and demonstrated.
>>
>> This effort has developed into the 'Regenerative Agriculture Workshop
>> Series' which our project partners (Australia Felix Permaculture, Fusion
>> Farms, Free Range Permaculture, Milkwood Permaculture, Conscious Design&
>> the Mulloon Institute) are pleased to announce today. This series of
>> workshops is the start of a longer and broader project whose objective is
>> to
>> 'Regenerate Agriculture's Soils, Profits& Community through a Workshop
>> Series with World-Leading Innovators' which over 2010 will be further
>> developed into an ongoing and expanded workshop series in 2011 and beyond.
>>
>> A website and on-line course booking service has been developed and can be
>> found atwww.RegenAG.com enabling participants to register for 4
>> different
>>
>> courses in Tasmania, Victoria, New South Wales, Far North Queensland& on
>> the North Island of New Zealand/Aotearoa. The courses are as follows and
>> are
>> scheduled to start in late July 2010:
>>
>> Holistic Management with Kirk Gadzia (US)
>> BioFertile Farms with Paul Taylor (AU)& Eugenio Gras (MX)
>> Keyline Farming with Darren J. Doherty (AU)
>> Local Farms& Community with Joel Salatin (US)
>>
>> Many of these courses are either Farm Ready-approved or pending approval
>> so
>> Australian Land Managers, Primary Producers (and their workers and family
>> members), wild game harvesters and Indigenous land managers may be
>> eligible
>> to attend the courses with access to the Farm Ready subsidy.
>>
>> We have a structured sponsorship program that accommodates a range of
>> budgets and limits sponsorship opportunities on a national, state and per
>> event basis. With brand material being published on a broad spectrum of
>> media including print, web& radio, your business or organisation will be
>> highly visible. Packages also include prominent placements at each event
>> as
>> the series is staged across the country.
>>
>> We are interested to begin discussions with organisations or businesses in
>> other states, territories and countries who might wish to participate as
>> RegenAG convenors from 2011 and beyond, though with planning commencing in
>> 2010. With the expansion of the program from 2011, opportunities for a
>> wide
>> range of World-class Practitioner/Trainers will also become available.
>>
>> We wish to give great thanks to all of those people who have helped bring
>> us
>> to this point either as participants, convenors, trainers, sponsors or
>> supporters. They have come to inform us as to what the needs are out there
>> and what works and what doesn't.
>>
>> The task ahead for humanity is indeed a great one and we feel that we are
>> offering many of the solutions to take the steps forward on the great
>> agricultural lands of our planet: the primary client! These solutions are
>> selected carefully and only after extensive field testing by real
>> practitioners on real operations with real regenerative results: certainly
>> our objective is beyond sustainability as it must be.
>>
>> All the best and we look forward to your participation in the Regenerative
>> Agriculture Workshop Series.
