Regenerative Ag: On the Ground vs. In the Books


Regenerative Agriculture (RA) has garnered significant attention as a promising solution to combat climate change, bolster biodiversity, and enhance farm economics. Yet, amidst this buzz, a clear and unified definition of Regenerative Agriculture remains elusive.

In this webinar, we delve into the myriad definitions of RA found in literature and publications. Additionally, we invite a seasoned, award-winning producer to provide firsthand insights into how Regenerative Agriculture is expressed on their farm, as well as the operational impacts resulting from ongoing discussions about this concept.

As discussions surrounding RA continue to evolve, how do these concepts resonate with farmers and sometimes translate into practical applications? Join us as we explore this question and uncover how diverse perspectives on RA translate between different actors within the sector.
