Regenerative living and farming are relatively new concepts that involve creating positive impacts through individual and community efforts, many practices are rooted in indigenous knowledge and culture. As existing systems are harming the earth on a global scale, regeneration aims to remediate degraded landscapes, clean air and water, connect people, heal and create new habitats, revive the soil, produce nutritious food, and re-wild towns and cities.

Regenerative agroforestry is a system design approach to agricultural production and forest conservation, utilizing bio-mimicry to create productive habitats that allow us to cooperate with nature and enjoy bountiful yields.

This course will introduce many agroforestry techniques and innovative systems that increase yields on all fronts. From soil health, habitat restoration, orchard/agroforest design to project planning, implementation, management and community integration. High diversity systems that ensure food security and sovereignty are being designed on many scales to begin the regeneration we need.
