Why Certified Regenerative?
Regenerative agriculture is vital for restoring soil health, improving biodiversity, and increasing resilience to climate change. It integrates Indigenous knowledge, holistic management, and modern science to restore vital cycles of carbon, water, and nutrients. Practices like reduced tillage, cover cropping, and agroforestry enhance soil fertility, water retention, and overall environmental health. Regenerative farming also helps minimize chemical use, promoting long-term sustainability in contrast to industrial agriculture, which degrades the land over time.
Based on a best selling book by Josh Tickell.
After 50 years, America’s search for the ultimate diet is over. The dilemma of what to eat has finally been solved. Enter: the ‘regenerative diet,’ a way of eating that can cause our planets’ soils to sequester 100% of the CO2 that has been released into the atmosphere since the dawn of The Industrial Revolution. Join acclaimed journalist and Sundance award winning film director Josh Tickell as he interviews celebrity chefs, ranchers, farmers, and top soil scientists. With cutting edge science, this book gives readers a power they’ve never had – the power to reverse global warming, create clean, healthy, abundant food and get rid of the poisonous chemicals that are harming our children and pets, all while rebuilding our most precious resource: the very ground that feeds us.

50 Million Acres in Transition in the U.S.
As of 2025, over 50 million acres in the U.S. are transitioning to regenerative agriculture—up from less than 5 million a decade ago—fueled by Kiss the Ground and Common Ground.
Drove a Historic $20 Billion USDA Commitment
Following the awareness surge around Kiss the Ground and Common Ground, the USDA committed $19.5 billion from the Inflation Reduction Act to support regenerative and climate-smart agriculture — the largest investment of its kind in U.S. history.
Growing Public Awareness
U.S. awareness of regenerative agriculture has nearly doubled since 2023, with 21% of adults now familiar with the term and 6.8% able to define it and understand its significance.
Take the Pledge. Join the movement. Regenerate 100 Million Acres.
Our Goal is to catalyze the shift of 100 million acres of US crop and rangeland into certified regenerative agriculture.
The U.S. has approximately 900 million acres of farm and rangeland. 100 million acres represents just over 10% of that. We believe 100 million acres is the necessary “tipping point” for regenerative agriculture to enter the mainstream.
The momentum of the regenerative movement is growing. Join the movement by taking the pledge today!
