What participants are saying
“The program was useful because it gave me new insights, better ways of designing and reviewing experiments, inspiration from other group members, more structure (and comparability) for our farm measurements.”
— Beate Samaras
“Creating our Unique Context gave huge clarity. I learned how to monitor in an efficient and structured way, and to see change in numbers instead of guessing or going by gut feeling. The different spreadsheets and templates make managing and planning much easier.”
— Felix Riecken
How the program works
With video explanation, worksheets, templates, and tutorials, you’ll be guided through the process of measurement, monitoring, and planning for your farm’s success.
In this program you can progress in two ways. You can follow along a path of completing one step per week. The live calls will guide you through the content and help you work out any uncertainties.
You can also move through the content at your own pace, completing tasks and exercises when you’re able to.
In both cases you’ll always be able to ask questions to the group and to the larger farmer community, request support from the facilitator, get assistance in matching with a specialist or consultant, and get recommendations for other complementary learning resources that are relevant to your focus.
All of the content and learning resources in the program are available at any time.

Where can I find specific information on farming techniques and land management practices?
This program is not designed to teach you to farm. There are no farm practice tutorials or descriptions here. What we have instead is assistance in matching you to other learning resources that could be valuable to your farm goals. This might be connecting you with a consultant or agronomist for specialized or in-person assistance. This might include recommendations for online courses or in-person trainings for particular skills. It might be most useful for you to speak with the other farmers in the commuity to ask questions and get answers from others with experience. Whatever you need to improve your farm health, we’re here to help you find it.
