FAQ
Permaculture design is the sustainable integration of landscape and people, providing shelter, food, energy and other material and non-material needs.
The short answer is absolutely! Using Keyline Design, we can design & implement regenerative systems on properties from 1ha to 1 million ha properties.

From design work to implementation, we’re here to help transition farms to regenerative practices.
The list of skills encompassed in Regenerative Agriculture and our Consultancy include:
– Homesteading
– Architecture
– Landscape Architecture
– Engineering
– Agriculture/Horticulture/Forestry
– Garden Agriculture
– Land & Animal Sciences
– Urban/Suburban/Peri-Urban Design and Planning
– Home Economics
Each project differs, as requirements/constraints dictate design. However, the process does not change--> Assessment, design, implementation & management.
Roughly 100 hours are needed for the assessment & design phase of projects.
What is the investment required? The majority of the investment is up front. Using digging equipment, the land is shaped and Keyline-ploughed to slow down and capture water. Immediately after, 4000-8000 plants are planted.
What is the return on investment? As the land rehydrates and earth turns into topsoil, the property gets better continuously year after year, thus tripling the value of the land in under 5 years.
After the initial up front investment above, owners no longer have to pay for pay for water, fertilizer, pesticides or herbicides. Management of the property and transitioning from annual to perennial crops with mixed livestock rotation ensures permanent agriculture.
Without permanent agriculture there is no stable society.
Yes. Regenerative agriculture concentrates on rebuilding the soil which is a good first step. Keyline Design goes a step further, ensuring water & all inputs are locally sourced. This provides all the food, fiber, energy & medicine for ever growing demands.
