Community Knowledge Hub
The new Quorum Sense Community Knowledge Hub is being developed as a place to collate and share the knowledge and experience being generated in our community. It draws on farmer, scientist and practitioner knowledge and includes holistic decision support tools, the fundamentals of soil health, and detailed information on regenerative practices and outcomes.
Our vision is for the Community Knowledge Hub to become an increasingly valuable resource for farmers looking to take small or big steps towards the creation of vibrant and regenerative farms, ecosystems, people and communities.
