U.S. Land Transitioned to Regenerative Agriculture
Our Goal:
100 Million Acres
About the Movement
A movement to drive a “tipping point” of 100 million acres (out of the 900 million acres of range and farmland in the US) to transition into certified regenerative systems by 2025.
We are challenging farmers and ranchers, as well as the companies that use their products, to make the pledge to go certified regenerative. If your company has made a commitment to “move toward regenerative,” then we invite you to validate that commitment by getting certified by one of our verified partners. The companies, farmers, NGO’s and entities listed below are the leaders in transitioning actual acres of land (farmed by real people!) toward a true regenerative agriculture that increases farmer profits, heals the soil, creates healthy abundant food and sequesters carbon.

What is Regenerative Agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture is about reviving our soil, encouraging biodiversity, and ultimately creating a thriving farming ecosystem. Unlike conventional farming, which often depletes soil health and contributes to climate change, regenerative practices aim to restore and enhance natural resources. It’s about working with nature, within the context of nature.
This way of farming is better for our soil, our farmers, our food, our health, and our economy.
No Tilling
Tillage is the process of breaking the soil with a disc or plow to eliminate weeds and plant seeds. Regenerative agriculture does not till to preserve mycorrhizal networks.
No Toxic Chemicals
This vastly reduces the use of chemicals, herbicides or fungicides or insecticides. Instead, relies on making plants and soil healthy so they can resist pests.
Cover Crops
Planting different species of cover crops protects the soil so it is never exposed to the elements. Later, the dead cover crop will protect against weeds, AND becomes food for the microbes.
Planned Grazing
Just like in nature herds of animals are used to eat weeds and fertilize the soil. Cows and other ruminants break apart the top soil, and their grazing promote biodiversity and more resilient crops.
