Stockperson Herding Academy is a not for profit business focused on regenerative education: People-Land-Economics

(Supported by our parent business Regenerative Grazing Australia) 


Stockperson Herding Academy Goals are to demonstrate and share how to profitably manage land, to protect, preserve and regenerate the natural environment - Increase Landscape Function and Biodiversity outcomes while sharing knowledge to next generation how to do this and set them up for a good start in life.


Inspired by some pioneers which  are some of my mentors: 

Graeme Hand (Hand for the Land is one of Australia’s leading holistic land management and training consultancies) 

and university degree Ecological Agriculture coarse leader Kerry Cochrane  (The Australian Institute of Ecological Agriculture [IEA]) 

and my loyal team of working stockdogs and of coarse my family and friends. 


Following on great inspiring words Kerry introduced to me is a quote from John Ikerd. 

(world renowned author, speaker & leader in sustainability) 


Agriculture sustainability is a goal rather than a specific set of farming practises or methods. 

Sustainability, as a goal, implies some basic principle and characteristics of sustainable systems. 

A sustainable agriculture must be 

ecologically sound, economically viable, and socially responsible - 

-all are necessary and none sufficient. 

Short run profitability is necessary, but not sufficient, to ensure long run sustainability. 

In the sustainable paradigm, the environment and society are not seen as "constraints" to profitability, but are seen as essential prerequisites to long run economic viability. 

The sustainable paradigm balances economic, environmental, and social concerns in moving toward systems which can sustain a desirable quality of human life on Earth indefinitely. 

John Ikerd.

The term "stepping stone" has meanings literal, metaphorical and poetic : 

Literal Meaning: It refers to a stone or a series of stones used as footrests for crossing streams, marshes, or similar areas.  

Metaphorical Meaning: It signifies something that allows you to make progress or serves as a means to achieve a goal, such as viewing a position as a stepping stone to a higher role.  



Stepping Stone

 

 

A Poetic version attempt of Stepping Stone  (by Ray who is far away from being poetic) 

A Stepping Stone is a humble yet profound catalyst, a quiet enabler of dreams.  

It is the gentle lift beneath your feet, guiding you across the river of ambition.  

Each stone, though seemingly small, is a beacon of progress, a whisper of potential.

A Stepping Stone is a humble yet profound catalyst, a quiet enabler of dreams.  

It is the gentle lift beneath your feet, guiding you across the river of ambition.  

Each stone, though seemingly small, is a beacon of progress, a whisper of potential.  

It is the bridge between the now and the not yet, the promise of tomorrow cradled in the present.  

With each step, you ascend closer to the horizon of your aspirations, where the sky meets the earth in a dance of fulfillment. Stepping Stone
