Do you believe that #regenerative practices in animal agriculture improve the nutritional quality of meat and animal-based products like yogurt, dairy, cheese and eggs? WE do! 🐄 That's why we have teamed up with Edacious to launch our "Regen Protein Research Project" which explores the impact of different animal production systems on nutritional outcomes. We'll look at animal proteins raised using regenerative and conventional methods and see how they measure up. 🐔 Interested in being part of the project and getting your animal protein products analyzed? We'd love to have you! See below for more details. 💮 The project is designed to achieve the following goals for participants and the NDA: 1. Analyze the nutrient density of animal products for members of the Nutrient Density Alliance. 2. Compare participant products to conventionally produced retail samples. 3. Build a project dashboard for participants to share data that includes all the nutrient density and management data collected through the project. 4. Share anonymized results with the public to raise awareness about the nutrient density in food and increase interest in the work of the NDA. 5. Inform future studies in collaboration with academic partners, either on agriculture or health-related areas of inquiry. 🐷 When animals are treated humanely, pasture raised, #grassfed, and living in concert with nature, they tend to have higher levels of many nutrients like Omega 3 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acid, phytosterols, carotenoids and much more. Let's learn together and help improve environmental and human health and ensure happier lives for animals. More info here: https://lnkd.in/gx8rpArd

Drone cover cropping adventures from a few weeks back. This is just one example of how new technologies can help farmers better work within their ecosystem. Intercropping cover crop seeds into standing crops helps our farm get a head start on plant growth in a northern climate which gives us max protection from soil erosion, and also gives us more grazing options. The seed mix from Green Cover Seed included triticale, vetch, oats, rye, and camelina. Thanks to my neighbor Matt Nelson for piloting the aircraft. I would definitely recommend him to others looking to interseed cover into standing crops. We are grateful for the helping hands! 🤲🏼

🌍 Today marks the start of October, which means we have just 36 days left until Election Day 🗳️. The single most impactful climate action we can take right now is to mobilize voters to prioritize climate at the polls. In partnership with Modern Species, The Climate Collaborative has released a full suite of resources—including powerful graphics and social media assets📱—to help you encourage voter registration and turnout. Let’s get people voting for the planet! 🌎💚. Please utilize these resources within your own social feed and share with communications team to support their work in getting out the climate vote.

Regenerative farming isn't just about the soil and crops 🌱 It's also about nurturing the health and well-being of the farmers who make it all possible 💪 Let's remember to prioritize their health in our definition of regenerative agriculture! #RegenerativeFarming #FarmersHealthMatters #SustainableAgriculture 🌾🌿

👨🌾 I am excited to be speaking at the Regenerative Food Systems Investment in Denver, CO October 7th -9th. I will be speaking, along with my colleague Jeffrey Bos about the Regenerative Transition Services Soil & Climate Initiative (SCI) provides for investors, corporations and food businesses. 🌱 We need more acres under regenerative management and SCI provides the transition support needed to make investments in regenerative agriculture more impactful. At SCI, we collaborate with farmers across all production systems, aiding in their transition to regenerative, organic, and agroecological farming approaches. 💰This year marks my third consecutive attendance at this event. We need more dollars flowing across the supply web. It been a TOUGH year for farmers. As a former farmer with experience in starting up a regenerative brand, I know from firsthand experience the hard work, pain and then disappointment that hits when you just can't make the business work. There isn't enough investment and public funding moving into the space to support the regenerative sectors growth yet alone ability to thrive. I am excited to reconnect with industry leaders and innovators and discuss how we can better support the farms and start-up businesses committed to changing how we produce food for to the benefit of the planet, our health and equity in the system. I know the Regenerative Food Systems Investment is the place where real solutions will be cultivated. So do not miss out and be sure to join us! Look forward to seeing you there!
