Regeneration Rising

About Regeneration Rising

Regeneration Rising is a podcast for beginning agrarians, about the trials, tribulations, and joys of a life in regenerative agriculture. Each episode will feature conversations with apprentices and other young agrarians, tidbits and tips from regenerative ag experts, job announcements, and more. Originally started by Shawna Burhans and Ariel Bobbett, two young agrarians, season two is now being led by Quivira Coalition’s New Agrarian apprenticeship program. As we face the challenge of repopulating our fields and rangelands with a new generation, we’re building a community of ranchers and farmers who are working towards a thriving workforce for the future of food, agriculture, and working lands. They are our Regeneration Rising.

   Episode 61 - Creative Farmland Protection

   In this episode, host Kristina chats with Kristina Villa and Ian McSweeney, co-founders and co-executive directors of The Farmers Land Trust. The Farmers Land Trust is a national nonprofit that directly engages with farmland protection and land access for farmers by accepting farm and land donations and then creating and supporting Farmland Commons, which are nonprofit landholding entities that are rooted in place and governed by local communities. We discuss the farmland commons model, current trends around land access, creative solutions, success stories, and resources. Hear more from the folks at the farmers land trust at our REGENERATE Conference coming up in Santa Fe on October 28 as they host a workshop around the farm land commons model.

[…] And so, not only is this journey about learning about agriculture, it's also about learning about yourself, and until you step out and start doing it, you're not going to be able to learn those things about yourself until you're in that experience.
