Regen Dairy Farming

I grew up on an NZ dairy farm, and have been involved with many aspects of farming in NZ for many years before shifting to WA 4.5 years ago. So I was wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of Regen Dairy farming, how that looks and are there any farmers doing this in WA.? Many Thanks,

Carl
