Get to know usREGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE
We use a system of farming principles and practices that increase biodiversity, enrich soils, restore watersheds, and enhance ecosystem services. Regenerative agriculture helps reverse current global trends of atmospheric accumulation of carbon, offers increased yields, resilience to climate instability, and higher health and vitality for farming and ranching communities.

New - BioRegional Agroforestry Suitability Analysis (BRASA)
We seek to assess, inventory, and map the appropriate agroforestry practices and tree crops for the specific conditions of any watershed. Most recently, we have used BRASA to identify suitability for commercial chestnut production across approximately 1.7 million acres of the Connecticut River Watershed in Massachusetts. We created this tool to support the expanded implementation of these practices, to reduce erosion, increase drought tolerance and flood resilience, and draw down atmospheric carbon.
Supply System Assessment
The natural products companies that we work with have the highest intentions for their businesses and industry-leading capabilities. We offer our services to them so that they are conscious of both the dangers within their supply system, and the nascent opportunities for regeneration.
