There is growing concern by consumers and farmers about our current food system. 80% of US consumers are concerned about the environmental impact of the products they buy, according to PDI Technologies. At the same time, extreme weather events and rising temperatures are plaguing our crop yields. These factors underscore the need for regenerative agriculture, which increases biodiversity, improves water conservation, supports carbon sequestration, increases climate resilience and strengthens soil vitality.
Regenerative agriculture offers a climate-smart solution that builds resilient farms, increases crop yields and lowers costs. It also benefits consumers by providing healthier, more sustainably sourced food, while safeguarding our ecosystems to ensure adequate food for future generations. Join the Alliance in signing the American Sustainable Business Network’s letter to Congress urging them to support regenerative agriculture in the upcoming Farm Bill. Let’s work together to restore our lands, nourish our communities and protect our planet.
