Why Regenerative Agroforestry?

In this era of unchecked global warming, deforestation, and industrial agriculture, we need to act quickly in order to regenerate ecosystem processes and feed a growing populace.

Regenerative Agroforestry is a holistic approach, which provides fully integrated solutions that restore our environment while simultaneously feeding people.

Regenerative Agroforestry deepens the alignment between people and nature, delivering a land restoration model to sequester carbon, catch and infiltrate water, revegetate landscapes, produce food, grow medicine, generate timber, and generate SURPLUS resources for people and ecologies.

We developed this online, self-paced program to make these solutions easily accessible to you.

Now is your chance to get the inspiration and knowledge to develop your own Regenerative Agroforestry systems adapted to your bioregion.
