Summer Camp Webinar: Regenerative Agriculture & Certification

Regenerative agriculture is important to rehabilitate soil, increase biodiversity, respect animal welfare, and improve the lives of farmers. We can sequester carbon, build healthier communities, and reap more nutritious and abundant yields. With regenerative agriculture also comes labels and certification. 

Join us for a conversation about the ever-growing landscape of regenerative agriculture certification. We'll explore how these frameworks can empower farmers to adopt holistic practices that restore soil health, preserve biodiversity, and enhance resilience to climate change. We will also discuss the situation specific benefits of pursuing such certifications, from access to premium markets to increased community engagement. Whether you're a farmer, an advocate, or a policymaker, this talk will offer actionable insights into regenerative agriculture certifications.  

Learn what decisions you can make to strive for regenerative agriculture efforts on your land. Connect with conservation experts, meet other inspiring Wisconsin women that share your love for the land, and learn about NRCS resources to support your conservation goals.

This Summer Camp series is an opportunity to join women landowners from across the state who share your passion for stewarding the land and connect with expert advice, resources, and opportunities around the virtual campfire.

Whatever your background, from beginners to experts, all women are welcome and we want to hear your story.  Feel free to bring your lunch. S’mores optional. Wisconsin Women in Conservation is hosting four sessions from May through August on the last Thursday of the month.
