GROUNDED FESTIVAL 2025; an excellent event for those focussed on sustainable agricultural

If you're passionate about the future of sustainable agriculture—whether you're knee-deep in research, shaping policy, farming the land, or working in extension—GROUNDED FESTIVAL 2025 should be on your radar.

Held on a stunning farm just outside Bridgetown, WA, on 19–20 September 2025, GROUNDED is more than just an event—it’s a vibrant mash-up of world-class conference, hands-on field day, and food festival rolled into one. Even better, it’s timed perfectly as a follow-on from the RegenWA Conference in Perth.

This year’s themes dive deep into Soil Soils, Healthy Systems, Landscapes and Ecosystems, Farm Realities, Food Systems and Culture, and Conversations that Matter. With so much on offer, there’s something for everyone—whether you're exploring the science, working the paddock, or just keen to connect over great ideas and even better food.

We’d love to see a strong UWA attendance at GROUNDED, especially from our UWA School of Agriculture and Environment. If you're a PhD student or early-career researcher, this is an ideal chance to be inspired, meet like-minded changemakers, and see sustainability in action.

Come for the knowledge, stay for the connections—and don’t miss the feast!

Inspired by Groundswell in the UK, and run with their blessing, GROUNDED is reimagining farmer learning by running multiple talks and demonstrations on farm, for farmers and those interested in food systems, soil and even gardening, organised by people with skin in the game. Think good food stalls, good company, and cracking sessions, with a bit of music thrown in.

The line up of presenters are excellent, including UWA Emeritus Professor, Lynnette Abbott. See the program of other speakers here: https://groundedaustralia.com.au/2025_speakers/
