Permaculture Keyline Design & What can be done with your Biospheric Toolkit Lecture with Darren Doherty 2008
Keyline systems of water and soil conservation were developed in Australia during the 1950's by P.A. Yeomans as a response to increasing desertification and erosion of the landscape. His book Water For Every Farm is an important resource on holistic farm design. Keyline is a set of principles and techniques based on a whole systems approach that works with natural patterns to restore or increase the depth and fertility of the soil, while increasing its water holding capabilities. Keyline integrates terraces, ponds and cultivation techniques with the natural landscape to infiltrate water into the soil efficiently and hold it on the land as long as possible. In order to truly work with nature, implementing a Keyline system requires careful observation and assessment of a site.
Doherty is from Australia, and will explain the so-called “Keyline” systems developed in Australia during the 1950’s by P.A. Yeomans. These agricultural systems were a response to increasing desertification and erosion, and Yeomans’ book, outlining the concept, is called “Water For Every Farm, A Keyline Plan.” Keyline Design integrates terraces, ponds, tree plantings on contour and a special cultivation technique using the Keyline plow, to infiltrate water into the soil efficiently, and to hold it on the land as long as possible. Water harvesting strategies employed by Keyline Design are claimed to provide drought-proofing for farms with very low maintenance using gravity fed irrigation systems, with a significant reduction in water lost to evaporation. Not a bad thing to be planning for, as California faces the impacts of global warming.

Darren J. Doherty (CPAg AIA) has extensive experience across the world in project design, development, management & training. A career-long focus on the profitable & regenerative retrofit of broadacre landscapes has seen Darren acclaimed as a pioneer in this important & often overlooked field.
Darren is a 5th generation Bendigo region land manager, developer, author & trainer and has been involved in the design & development of well over 3000, mostly broadacre projects across 6 continents in more than 50 countries, ranging from 1 million hectare cattle stations in Australia’s Kimberly region to 110,000 acre Estancia’s in Patagonia, EcoVillage developments in Tasmania to public:private R&D agroforestry & education projects in Viet Nam, novel AG Machinery development + family farms across the globe with a range of private, corporate, government & non-profit clients.
A true ‘integrationalist’, Darren is the originator of the Keyline® Design (2006), Carbon Farming (2006), Carbon Economy (2007), Regenerative Agriculture (along with RegenAG® {2009}) & Regrarians® (2012) and Regrarians’ REX®, ROC & RAP conventions and conferences across Europe, North & South America and Oceania. This wide experience has created an international reputation of achievement plus and enviable & expansive Regrarians Network that integrates many disciplines.
SUGGESTED BOOK ON KEYLINE FARM DESIGN
Yeoman's Book Water For Every Farm. by P.A. Yeomans.
ISBN 0-646-12954-6.

Carbon sequestration is also an important by-product of using a Yeomans Keyline Plow. We will also demonstrate how to use normal farm & earth moving machinery to harvest & store water on any farm. All of this has to start with a plan - the KDC's will take you through the simple and effective "diagnosis & design" process that we have used on over 1100 properties world wide with a blend of low & high tech solutions. Finally a quick acknowledgment of the kind assistance of our partners in making these courses possible: Santa Barbara Permaculture Network, Yeomans Plow Company, Nutiva Foods, Quail Springs Permaculture Farm & Earthflow Design Works.
