About GrowSafeFood

GrowSafeFood is a 5-Step biological farming system and training pathway developed to inspire and support a growing cohort of farmers committed to regenerative agriculture, soil health and quality food production.

Our training programs help you understand and fix the root cause of production limiting problems, empower you to work in partnership with Nature, and stop the futile cycle of treating recurring symptoms.

The Principles of the GrowSafeFood 5-Step Pathway are robust and, once learnt, allows growers to design and manage an abundant and sustainable farming future.

Our work has global reach and is focused on the heroic farming families who work tirelessly to feed us despite natural setbacks and increasing market pressures. The benefits flow directly to large urban populations whom require a constant supply of safe, nutritious and tasty food.

“The sugarcane that received some treatment seem to be able to weather the ongoing heat much better.  There is less yellowing of leaves. And, more importantly, the Farm Managers seem convinced.  They want to try this on more areas.”

"Brilliant program... Cabernet berry condition was excellent... all plump and full, not much decay on any of the skins... very different picture to last year. Thrilled to be walking through and 95% of the vineyard looks like this. I can’t wait to refine what we are doing... Good times ahead!"
