Today is World Soil Day, a day to acknowledge the vital role soil plays in nurturing life. Healthy soil is the cornerstone of sustainable ecosystems, supporting everything from agriculture to biodiversity. Learn more from our National Park Service here: https://lnkd.in/gjtYD8Pp

Agriculture is responsible for many of the emissions that are heating up the earth today. However, we still need to feed a growing population, presenting us with a very difficult challenge. But with challenges come opportunities. Regenerative agriculture offers a solution by using soils as carbon sinks. This not only helps mitigate climate change but also enhances soil fertility and productivity, ensuring sustainable food production for future generations. Tune in for our webinar together with Klim to learn more. #carbonremoval #climatechange #agriculture

Let’s hear it for our compost queen and healthy soil advocate, Eva! Modern agriculture has disconnected most farmers from indigenous knowledge which has been replaced with industrial quick fixes. Deciding to switch to regenerative practices takes courage, and we applaud our Restore farmers and applicants for choosing to take the leap.

In order for regenerative farms at Egg Innovations to help make the world a better place for plants, chickens, and people, we had to think about how the plants, chickens, and people on our farms impacted our pasture. This is holistic management, a practice through which we make decisions by considering the natural features present on our farmland. Savory Institute has a great video on how holistic management makes a land-regenerating impact, watch at https://lnkd.in/gBRmVVvd

🌀Shifting Worldviews Together - Unlearning, Regenerating, Evolving 🌀 Meet Lauren Tucker 👩🌾, who has spent 12 years working on regeneration, farming, and living systems thinking. She was co-founder and director of Kiss the Ground 🌱and is now founder of reNourish Studio. In this episode with Page Faye Mitchum, we explore the following questions and concepts: How do we move from “doing good” to actually regenerating systems? How do we think about capital differently in order to enable increasingly thriving ecosystems? What if we saw regeneration as a continuously evolving process, instead of a noun? How can our businesses be a catalyst for the regeneration deep overhaul that is so needed in the food system? Join us in a conversation about what it could look (and feel) like to be working regeneratively in our businesses. Join us 🌱

Fifty years ago, NewStories’ Founder Bob Stilger had the privilege of serving as the Program Director for the EXPO ‘74 Environmental Symposium Series in Spokane, Washington. It was there that the seeds of NewStories, soon celebrating its 25th anniversary, were first planted. Back then, we had a radical notion: that people ought to truly listen to one another, embrace different perspectives, and engage in genuine dialogue. In 1974, Bob invited Wendell Berry to be a keynote speaker at the "Agriculture for a Small Planet" symposium. Berry's insights became a catalyst for the Tilth Movement in the Pacific Northwest, proving the existence of a thoughtful constituency for a better kind of agriculture. We’re sharing a letter Wendell sent to Bob and his assistant Gigi Coe to remind us that visionaries like Berry identified the challenges and possibilities we face today with remarkable clarity. While much has changed, we are still tackling similar dilemmas. The conditions Wendell identified in agriculture back then continue to resonate with those we tackle today in the Food Justice Initiative in Missouri that NewStories is supporting As we honor 25 years of NewStories, we remain dedicated to Re-Storying, Re-Patterning, and Restructuring a Regenerative Future. Our new focus areas, including Principles Guided Co-Creation, Great Transition Stories, Transformative Kinship Circles, and Transform Media, aim to guide us into new territories of endless possibilities. Join us as we create new life-affirming stories for the future. Whether inspired by past visionaries or passionate about today's breakthroughs, your presence and voice are vital.
