Create a regenerative and secure food future

Donate to support farmers transition to regenerative practices

You can help by donating to programs that offer farmers support, mentorship and access to financial incentives that will allow them to make the switch to regenerative practices and start putting carbon back into the soil!

Project Drawdown has estimated that regenerative agriculture could remove an astonishing 23.15 gigatons of CO2 from our atmosphere by 2050! Regenerative agriculture is a system of farming and grazing practices that builds healthy, biologically-diverse and mineral-rich soils, all the while sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. It’s a win-win for people and the planet.

Farmers and land stewards need our support to make this transition. You can help by donating to programs that offer farmers support, mentorship and access to financial incentives that will allow them to make the switch to regenerative practices and start putting carbon back into the soil!

UK

Land Workers Alliance (UK)

The Landworkers’ Alliance is a union of farmers, growers, foresters and land-based workers with a mission to create a better food and land-use system for everyone. You can support members to improve their enterprises and overcome obstacles they face, as well as to assist farmers, growers and land-based workers to shift their production to agroecological systems and their enterprises to direct sales or short supply chain models.

Pasture for Life (UK)

The idea for the Pasture-Fed Livestock Association arose in 2009 when a small group of British farmers decided to join together to extol the wide-ranging benefits of producing meat from animals fed exclusively on pasture. The Pasture-Fed Livestock Association promotes the unique quality of produce raised exclusively on pasture, and the wider environmental and animal welfare benefits that pastured livestock systems represent.

The Countryside Regeneration Trust (UK)

The Countryside Regeneration Trust protects, promotes, and regenerates land and all life on it, by bringing people and properties together to make everyone a friend of the countryside.

The Rodale Institute is known for pioneering and continually advocating for the use of regenerative agricultural practices. Founded in 1947 in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, by J.I. Rodale, the Institute has transformed 333 acres of formerly degraded farmland into highly fertile and productive land growing a variety of organic crops. The farm forms the basis for Rodale’s research, education, and outreach, and it is home to the longest-running comparative study of organic and chemical agriculture, started in 1981.

For the Love of Soil

Nicole Masters has written an excellent resource for understanding the soil crisis that is occurring around the world and how we can make a difference. She breaks down complex and technical know-how of soil into more digestible terms through case studies from regenerative farmers, growers, and ranchers in Australasia and North America so land managers can begin to revitalise their soils.

Online Soil Health Course

Integrity Soils has set up a series of online courses designed to guide you through the early steps of understanding soil health and what the specific needs of your soil might be depending on what you’re growing or grazing.
