We believe in the power of regeneration.

Regenerative Farms is a U.S. registered 501c3 not-for-profit organization on a mission to assist the World’s 600 million smallholder farmers adapt to climate change.  We help rural farming communities build Regeneration Hubs that increase women farmer’s access to the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to regenerate their ecosystems and overcome poverty, malnutrition, and oppression.

Join us. Together we can support women and indigenous farmers working to heal the Earth.

Where We Work

Explore the many ways you can help regenerate the earth!

CAPACITY BUILDING PROGRAMS

Our Regeneration Hub model uses several Capacity Building Programs that help communities restore degraded ecosystems. Hubs provide incentives to individuals that help halt tropical deforestation by providing for the basic needs of local people. We partner with local community leaders from grassroots non-profits, social enterprises, and Indigenous Peoples organizations.  Hub programs help women achieve their goals and support them with the resources they need to protect and restore their forests, farms, and cultures while feeding their families healthy, nutritious, climate-resilient food.

GLOBAL IMPACT

We currently work with 12 Hub partner organizations in 10 countries including the U.S., who want our assistance. Thanks to our generous Foundation and individual donors, we are helping improve the lives of tens of thousands of women farmers and their families.  They are planting millions of life-saving nutritious trees that will feed their communities for decades to come.   We have a waiting list of leaders who want our help in 2024. To grow our impact we need your support.

PARTNERSHIPS FOR SCALE

Corporate partners, Foundations, and global NGOs are key to scaling regeneration quickly. Hubs help meet growing consumer demand for climate action and offer companies a solution to quickly scale up their access to regeneratively grown and ethically sourced ingredients. Companies can work with our expert consultants to use our model within their supply chains or custom design a tree-planting program to offset climate emissions.

The Regeneration Hub model provides a holistic approach to landscape restoration and climate-resilient poverty alleviation that provides food and nutrition security for the World’s most vulnerable. We pair resilient design, including permaculture, syntropic agroforestry and water harvesting earth works with women’s permagardens, homescale food and nutrition security design at the homestead, as the basis of our holistic approach to building women’s climate adaptation.  Our Hubs are designed to restore degraded areas at the home, community and landscape scale for humans and wildlife.   Learn more about the details below.

Agroforestry instead of monocropping

Hubs promote ecosystem restoration.  The first zone of tree planting is centered around a multi-layered regenerative agroforestry system designed to meet the family’s food and nutrition security, as well as to produce high-value seedlings for large-scale reforestation of tree crops that will generate new income through diversification of markets available once crops go through value-added processing in the Hub micro-factory. Hubs generate greater wealth by reducing crop loss too. This combination provides long-term incentivizes for local people who must agree to protect forests and wildlife. The regenerative agriculture transition allows for a wider array of products which varies by region and can include tree nuts for butters and oils, perennial staple crops, coconuts, spices, pineapple, vanilla, dragon fruit, banana, shade-grown coffee and cacao, rubber, essential oils, medicinals, superfoods, bamboo, & perennial biofuels.

Innovative food processing micro-factory

The factories are designed by our team to meet the needs of families based on the specific location. They are made with off-the-shelf components that fit into easily shipped containers that can reach remote forest locations. A micro-factory can start out small, serving 40 families in a pilot project, and then can grow to serve over 6,000 families. The system design is adaptable and can be converted to process a wide array of local crops to generate resilient incomes and adapt to changing markets and climatic conditions.

Multiple valuable co-benefits

Regeneration Hubs were designed to incentivize behavior change by producing many valuable items needed by families living in rural villages. Communities decide what they want the factory to co-generate.  It can be designed to produce perennial tree crop biofuels, which can be used to provide green electricity.  This can help connect communities to the internet for remote learning and virtual health clinics or to power clean cookstoves and bio-diesel or ethanol-powered transport. Hubs can produce clean drinking water, livestock feed, and essential crop amendments that lower farmers’ costs and increase profits, like biochar, natural plant-growth accelerators, microbial inoculants, and organic fertilizers. The governance of a Hub is can be done by the local community through cooperative structures, and profits are meant to stay in the community to be reinvested in further restoring degraded lands, protecting forests, and improving the quality of life for everyone.
