Transitioning to Regenerative Agriculture with Wade Archer
Wade Archer has been working in organic farming and regenerative agriculture since 2010. He grew up on a 1,000 acre cattle farm with corn & soybeans. Wade has lived both models of conventional and regenerative and understands the complexities of the transition into farming practices that promote carbon sequestration and thus has a unique perspective of the history of U.S. agriculture. Through his regenerative landscaping business, Wade has designed managed and executed projects for multiple clients in the last three years. Wade studies at the Project Management Institute.
