Think Regeneration Program Impact

Our programs are helping local family farmers and entrepreneurs who are committed to making their communities healthier. In 2024, we helped farmers purchase new tractors, distribution centers, storage spaces, trucks, and marketing materials, while ensuring all of our educational programs were free for farmers to attend. We also help farmers get access to public speaking, national regenerative events, and mass media.

We are building an effective coalition of grassroots leaders who work together to expand one another’s capacities, create paradigm shifts within regions, and overcome shared challenges. Our programs connect farmers to their peers, food producers to health care professionals, investors to entrepreneurs, and resources to rural communities.

We work to improve the economies in all communities, rural and urban, by creating more circular economies in the food supply between regional-based farmers, ranchers, consumers, lenders, CPG companies, wholesale buyers and services. Our goal is to develop sustainable markets that extend beyond the traditional farmer’s market, and open new doors for established companies and entrepreneurs.

We are building our first food-is-medicine pilot program in Illinois by building a system that connects organic and regenerative food producers to real-world human health outcomes, such as lower rates of chronic disease and reduced health care costs.

Farmers tell us they need to know about how biology in the soil builds resilient systems and nutritious food. Distributors and buyers need to know about the challenges farmers face to grow our food. Medical professionals need to know that soil health matters in our fight to prevent chronic diseases. All of our programs are led by farmers, but connect roles serving the entire supply chain.

New in 2025: We will be launching new partnerships to open up regenerative markets in areas like pavement and construction materials. We will be on the ground in January with leaders in the industry to create a plan to accelerate common-sense based approaches to connect farmers, architects, builders, and the entire supply chain.
