Join us for our 10th annual Winter Conference, Sunday March 6, 2022 virtually!!

Regenerative Agriculture claims to offer the solutions to our agricultural and landcare problems, such as soil erosion and depletion, weed and pest abundance and pesticide tolerance, nutrient supply and availability, proper ecological roles for farm animals and so on.   Through these regenerative methods Regenerative Ag also offers solutions to our wider, global crises such as climate change and ocean acidification through carbon sequestration into soils, less reliance on chemicals and mined minerals, and less fossil fuel consumption.  Are these promises real?

At our Winter Conference this season we will explore these issues with several leaders in the arena of regenerative and sustainable agriculture over the course of two panel discussions moderated by Rhode Island farmer John Kenny and include Ray Archuleta, Leah Penniman, Dr. Vern Grubinger, and Dr. Jonathan Lundgren.

Whether you’re a farmer, gardener, home grower, or eater, there’s something at the conference for you!   Registration is currently open at Eventbrite. 

Leah Penniman is a farmer, activist, author, co-founder and co-director of Soul Fire Farm in Petersburg NY. Leah brings the perspective of a Black woman who has helped many, many Black and Brown people reconnect with the land. (Courtesy Photo)

Dr. Jonathan Lundgren is the founder of Ecdysis Foundation and Blue Dasher Farm. Jonathan left a career at the USDA over the agency’s attempts to suppress his research around neonicotinoid pesticides and their ecological impacts. He has since dedicated himself to research around regenerative practices and is an advocate of their promises. (Courtesy Photo)
