Purpose

“We have built the most efficient production engine. Now let’s build the most resilient.” ™

The Center for Regenerative Agriculture is empowering agricultural and food system supply chain decision makers by developing innovative frameworks and cutting-edge measurement, reporting, and verification processes that will support good stewardship of our land, water, and communities.

We serve as an interdisciplinary hub that produces impactful data, models, and tools that empower producers, supply chain professionals, and policy makers with actionable insights. By asking the right questions and convening diverse stakeholders, we aim to alleviate systemic challenges and foster innovation in the food system. Our work spans row crops, specialty crops, silviculture, and livestock, delivering verifiable data that challenges conventional supply chain thinking and supports producers, supply chain professionals, and policy makers in re-imagining the food system for resilience

Priorities

Resilience

Our resilience work is focused on the food and fiber industries and spans the entire supply chain. Our research connects landscape resilience to assured supply of safe, healthy, and accessible food and fibers. We are developing data driven tools and decision-making frameworks to assess resilience for use across the supply chain.

Engagement

Great science and tools alone won’t get us to implementation. We are working to educate policy makers, suppliers, brands, and land stewards about the importance of resilience and what it takes to move from an efficiency focus, to a holistic focus on resilience, where efficiency is a piece, but not the whole.
