Welcome to Whole Health Agriculture
Reconnecting Farming, Food and Health
We are a farmer-led, not-for-profit organisation that tests and shares residue-free solutions that promote health and protect nature.
Farmers face growing health challenges. Changing weather is bringing new threats, resistance is reducing the effectiveness of some treatments, and routine use of synthetic chemicals and antibiotics can come at a cost to livestock, land and nature.
Conventional treatments remain an important part of the farmer’s health kit but they don’t have all the answers. Farmers are already successfully using nature-supporting approaches to prevent disease, tackle problems and build resilience in livestock, land and crops.
We test these approaches in real farming conditions and share trusted evidence and farmer experience through courses, webinars and our farming community, giving farmers greater choice and confidence to reduce synthetic chemical and antibiotic use.
