Can regenerative farming go mainstream and become more profitable? Curious about what tools and policies are needed to support farmers in that transition?
Join Heritage, in partnership with American Regeneration, as we consider these questions and more.
Agenda
Panel I | Is Regenerative Agriculture Sustainable at Scale?
Rick Clark, Regenerative Fifth Generation Farmer
Joel Salatin, Owner and Operator, Polyface Farm
David Stelzer, Founder and CEO, Azure Standard
Jennifer Galardi, Senior Policy Analyst, Restoring American Wellness, The Heritage Foundation (moderator)
Panel II | Innovations in Agriculture: Unlocking Opportunity Through Technology

As chronic disease continues to rise, policymakers and advocates are reexamining the connection between how we farm and how we feel. This event will explore the role of agriculture in shaping public health and whether regenerative and sustainable practices can be scaled affordably and reliably. Expert panels will discuss the impacts of industrial farming, the promise and limitations of regenerative models, and the role of innovation and policy in shaping the future of food.
The soil in America is dangerously degraded.
To Make America Healthy Again, we must prioritize
pro-soil health policy.

Produce Nutrient-Dense Crops

Protect Our National Security
Regenerative farming improves food system resilience, reducing reliance on foreign inputs, and facilitating the delivery of the nutrient-dense food that keeps Americans healthy.
Healthy food begins with healthy soil.
The chronic disease epidemic cannot be solved without healthy soil.
At American Regeneration, we see new and unprecedented opportunity to bring forth agricultural changes in a system that has prioritized monocrop and soil-destructive farming practices.
The deep experience of our team makes us poised to lead the change.
