Regenerative Agriculture can save the world - but what is it?

“It’s really mimicking what nature does already. You never see just one crop in nature, you see a vast diversity. There’s a reason for that.” – Aras Baskauskas

We envision a world in which farmers, brands, policymakers, educators, researchers, and citizens join together to create a more equitable system, that respects the world’s communities and ecosystems.

Hear leaders at Patagonia, Dr. Bronner’s and ROA discuss why they have put regenerative organic farming at the core of their businesses, and why it is the answer to climate change and fairer supply chains.

Regenerative farming goes further from sustainable and organic farming. Regenerative organic farming produces stronger crops and provides a healthier way of life for farmers, but it’s the impact on soil that’s making it an environmental movement – by sequestering carbon which reduces excessive emissions to the atmosphere.
