The Mulloon Institute

The Mulloon Institute is a not-for-profit organisation that actively demonstrates and shares innovative regenerative land management practices at its living laboratory at Mulloon Creek Natural Farms in Bungendore, NSW.
 
Its landscape rehydration work actively rebuilds soil fertility, fixes carbon in the landscape, restores lost biodiversity, improves water quality and availability, and moderates climatic extremes. This results in increased agricultural productivity, higher quality, nutrient dense food, improved human health and greater community cohesion.
 
As a global leader in environmental regeneration and sustainable agriculture, the Institute uses its Mulloon Rehydration Initiative as a model to deliver landscape rehydration and catchment-scale projects across Australia – in northern Queensland, south-west Western Australia, NSW’s Southern and Northern Tablelands and the Northern Territory.
