These diverse members will provide essential input from science, economics, and practical experience to build a profitable regenerative system which can sequester carbon sustainably.

Philosophy

In the unforgiving landscape of the High Plains, successful soil health management is essential to the regeneration of both land and farmer profitability.

Vision

A systems-based and context-dependent approach to soil health, in
concert with social support, can transcend the limitations of
isolated conservation practices and decision making.

Program

Producers will receive financial support to create Comprehensive Soil Health Management Plans and implement a suite of practices well-suited for
their operation. We will provide qualified technical assistance, facilitate peer working groups, and leverage the expertise of long-term practitioners to mentor transitioning producers.
