Integrated Land Management
All the pieces are connected, it’s not just about sheep, cows, forestry, horticulture, dairy, or even conservation. Integrated land management creates both a thriving ecosystem and a resilient economy.
Native Forest Systems
Maintaining water quality, restoring declining biodiversity, climate change mitigation and resilience, all require reestablishment of native forests as a key part of our landscape. Groundtruth has techniques and experience in establishing and managing native forests in practical, cost effective, ecologically appropriate ways over large areas.From seed collection to forest establishment, we are there every step of the way.
Smart Technology
Technology provides an opportunity to support the direction and innovation of our farming and conservation communities.We understand the needs of people on the ground and what is required to use technology in the field. We provide practical, robust and reliable solutions which provide land owners and managers with the data to refine management practices and report to others.
Water Quality & Biodiversity
All farms are different and require specific approaches to cost effectively improve water quality and biodiversity.We can rapidly assess existing resources and identify potential areas for on-farm projects to enhance water quality and biodiversity.
A series of guides and monitoring tools are available to help achieve these objectives.
Remote Environmental Monitoring
We get environmental data to your desktop.From anywhere. In realtime.
Monitor wildlife, pests, and other conservation and environmental data from remote areas via monitoring stations that are independently powered and can be equipped with a range of sensors.
Whole Farm Design
Matching land use to underlying land capability and understanding the range of resources which make up a property are essential to developing an integrated and resilient approach to property management. Identifying “win-win” solutions which sustain both economic returns and environmental services requires robust technical information.We can help with the assessment of livestock production systems; soil and vegetation mapping; water supply and drainage assessments; nutrient management planning; water and nutrient application technologies & development of soil and crop management plans.
Regenerative Agriculture
Farming can improve biodiversity and provide ecosystem services while supplying high quality food to the community and a reliable income for the farm.We can help you maximise the economic potential of your farm while leaving the land in better shape for the next generation.
