Every year, over 800 farmers, graziers, First Nations land stewards and land managers from around the world congregate at the REGENERATE Conference to build community, share learnings and pioneer regenerative solutions to today’s agricultural challenges.

To support the development of Australia’s next generation of regenerative land stewards, Macdoch Foundation has partnered with US-based organisation, Funders for Regenerative Agriculture (FORA), to enable young Australians to participate in this world-leading forum.

[Re]Generation Fellowship

The Fellowship includes a fully funded scholarship to attend the REGENERATE Conference, enabling participants to deepen their knowledge of regenerative agriculture and connect with a global community of peers and practitioners.

The scholarship for the Australian Fellow is valued at $15,000 USD, and includes:

  • Pre-conference meetings and site visits
  • Attendance and associated fees for the REGENERATE Conference in Santa Fe, New Mexico, 28-30 October 2026
  • Flights, accommodation and food directly related to Fellowship activities, including associated field trips (approximately 10 days of travel)

Applications are now closed for the 2026 [Re]Generation Fellowship. Future opportunities will be announced via LinkedIn.
