Animated Video About Holistic Management
For today’s installment of our #EarthWeek2023 Membership Drive, we are over-the-moon excited to bring you a brand new animated short film on Holistic Management. We sometimes hear from newcomers that Holistic Management, since it is so much more than a grazing system, can be difficult at times to fully understand. With the grazing planning, the decision-making, the Holistic Context, the key insights, and more… how do you convey such a powerful framework to someone just getting started?

The Rise of Regenerative Agriculture: How Food Companies are Catalyzing Regenerative Farming Practices
When Regenerative Agriculture becomes a selling point, what exactly are consumers and restaurant companies buying? The term has gained cachet in the past five years, and agricultural business people are hashing out metrics to make it meaningful. We spoke to leading participants about their intentions, their reality, and the press to unite the two.
Regenerative, Organic and Agroecology: What’s the difference?
Regenerative, organic, agroecological. You might encounter all of these terms in the search for ‘sustainably’ grown food (there’s another!). This word soup is a great sign that lots of farming communities are experimenting to find a better way, but as a consumer, it can be pretty confusing. Here’s a quick guide to each term, to help you make sense of labels, and separate the green from the greenwash.
Regenerative Organic Agriculture Improves Soil & Fights Inequity – See How This Farm Is Pioneering the Practice
The Ecology Center’s mission is to serve the region as both a farm and educational center. They are pioneers in what’s called Regenerative Organic Agriculture (ROA). In short, ROA focuses on the long-term health of the land in lieu of short-term profits. It rejects many of industrial agriculture’s detrimental practices, which have led to a loss of genetic crop diversity, inequitable working conditions, and have contributed to climate change.

Food sovereignty remains our answer to the food crisis. Now more than ever our communities and countries need to focus on agroecological food production.

Restoring The Water Cycle: Understanding The Basics And Taking Action
I am writing this on World Water Day. The UN’s tag line for today is ‘Be the change. Every drop counts.’ This is very true. If we are going to return water cycles everywhere to what they used to be, then it will start with each one of us understanding the basics of the water cycle and acting to support a healthy water cycle.

This year’s Oxford Real Farming Conference (ORFC) felt more necessary than ever. Gathering in person for the first time since January 2020, the great and the good of agroecology turned their attention to the pressing matters of the day: the intersectional crises of biodiversity, climate, energy and cost of living. The movement discussed available support for small-scale farmers, and solutions provided by transformed food and farming systems.

Regenerative Research: Glyphosate
Opinions about glyphosate use in agriculture systems are polarized: either glyphosate is a valid farming management herbicide, or it is an unneeded toxin that degrades human and environmental health. To confuse things more, published research and recommendations from government agencies about the safety of glyphosate use in the food supply contradict.
