How to Start a Regenerative Farm from Scratch

⭐️ Have you ever wanted to start a regenerative farm from scratch? ⭐️
In this video, the Heifer USA team travelled to North Carolina to visit Grass Grazed Farm, a regenerative farm where founders Derrick and Paige Jackson have established and grown a successful business in just two years. In the community of Rougemont, just outside Durham, Grass Grazed Farm raises pastured poultry, forested pork, grass fed beef, grass fed dairy, and laying hens following regenerative agriculture practices.
We interviewed the Jacksons about the process of starting their farm - and now, we're sharing their advice with you! Keep watching to learn every step the Jacksons took to build Grass Grazed Farm.

As part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, achieving a world without hunger and malnutrition calls for urgent action to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient.

The impacts of climate change are further increasing uncertainties and vulnerabilities facing farmers and communities.

Integrated, cross sectoral approaches like agroecology are an important element in the transition process, reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture to guarantee healthy ecosystems that can ensure food and nutrition security for all.

On the base of case studies and interviews from farmers, researchers and decisions makers from France, Mali, Hungary , Argentina this video show how agroecology and political will can help build more resilient farming systems and question the future requirements to up-scale these solutions.
