Our Mission

We aim to promote regenerative agriculture to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and aid in the development of new technologies, processes, and inventions to reduce greenhouse gases through collaboration with farmers, academia, the government, industry, and engineering, architectural, and design firms.

Our mission is to promote greenhouse gas emissions reduction through regenerative agriculture, develop a demonstration farm for educational presentations, solutions, and best practices, and involve farmers, universities, organizations, and industry leaders. 

 

Our Method

Since we are based in the Midwest, we focus on agriculture, cattle, and pigs. They produce the most GHGs of any segment of emissions producers — more than cars, trucks, planes, trains, cargo ships, and cruise ships combined. The good news is, there are known methods to change agriculture from a carbon emitter to a carbon sink through regenerative agricultural and grazing practices. This is the “low hanging fruit” in carbon sequestration.

We will develop a demonstration farm and learning and discovery center utilizing regenerative agriculture and grazing methods, which will be available to farmers to see comparisons of crops and livestock, as well as have conferences for information on the latest technologies and testing. 

Our demonstration farm will exemplify best practices and be available for research by colleges, universities, and product developers.

Our learning and discovery center is intended for K-12 field day events and will be free for schoolchildren. This learning center will also be open to the public to learn about regenerative agriculture.

Our People

These are the individuals that have the passion, drive, and commitment to create a better future.
