Restoring degraded forests has come to be recognized as perhaps just as critical to climate efforts as stopping deforestation, because of how reforestation efforts can enhance forests’ role as a carbon sink.
UNCCD Drylands Ambassador Dennis Garrity talks regeneration and the use of trees to boost yields and fight climate change at CO23 in Bonn, Germany.
Join us for Speed Up the Cool Down, a networking event with change makers from around the world. It will be an opportunity to connect with a growing Regenerative Agriculture movement aimed at speeding up the drawdown of carbon and regenerating the soil, our health, communities, and the planet.
From filmmaker Mark Kitchell comes a new film: EVOLUTION of ORGANIC. It’s the story of organic agriculture, told by those who built the movement.
It’s now clear that the world cannot avoid climate catastrophe without addressing the staggering emissions from the largest meat and dairy conglomerates.

To practically implement regenerative agriculture at a significant scale, all workers will need to earn living wages.
Regenerative Organic Certification builds upon the near 100-year legacy of organic movement visionaries like J. I. Rodale and Dr. Rudolf Steiner and provides stepwise guidance for farming and ranching operations, transportation, slaughter, and processing facilities that produce food, cosmetics, and fiber. It is essential to farm in a way that enriches rather than degrades the soil, and values animals and workers.
Unbroken Grounds explains the critical role food will play in the next frontier of our efforts to solve the environmental crisis.
Malloy’s latest documentary is Unbroken Ground, which he made for Patagonia Provisions. The 25-minute film looks at four innovative solutions to agricultural problems, through the lens of the thought leaders behind them.
