About
Darren J. Doherty is a highly regarded regenerative agriculture consultant, educator, and designer, best known for founding Regrarians, an organisation dedicated to integrating regenerative practices into farming landscapes worldwide. With decades of experience in land planning and agricultural design, he has worked on over 2,500 projects across six continents, applying a holistic approach that combines agroecology, permaculture, keyline design, and other regenerative systems. His expertise lies in creating profitable, resilient farming enterprises that enhance soil health, biodiversity, and water management while reducing reliance on synthetic inputs.
Doherty developed the Regrarians Platform, a strategic framework that helps landowners transition to regenerative practices by addressing key elements such as climate, geography, water, and economy in a structured way. Through courses, consulting, and on-the-ground projects, he has trained thousands of farmers and land managers, empowering them with practical knowledge to restore degraded landscapes and build productive, ecologically sound farms. His work bridges traditional agricultural wisdom with modern regenerative techniques, offering an adaptable and scalable approach suitable for farms of all sizes and contexts.
Beyond his technical contributions, Doherty is a passionate advocate for farmer-led change, emphasising the importance of economic viability in regenerative agriculture. He recognises that sustainable land stewardship must be financially sustainable for farmers and their communities. Through Regrarians, he continues to foster a global network of regenerative practitioners, sharing knowledge and resources to accelerate the transition towards more resilient food and farming systems. His impact has made him a leading figure in the regenerative agriculture movement, inspiring a new generation of land stewards to work in harmony with nature.
