Our team draws together experts from the fields of habitat restoration, entomology, plant ecology, education, farming, and conservation biology with a single passion: Protecting the life that sustains us. The Xerces Society is expanding efforts to demonstrate the effectiveness of conservation biological control through field research with academic partners, habitat restoration field trials, and outreach to farm communities and farm agency staff.

It currently goes out to 72 countries worldwide, as well as all of the U.S. states and Canadian provinces. The Small Farmer’s Journal has steadfastly held that the most important, useful and vital component of all agriculture is the independent family farm, that operation which is held close for comfort, care and fertility; that operation, which is held dear, near and tightly as it is truly part of the family.

Regenerative Agricultural Alliance

The mission of the RAA is to scale up regenerative poultry in the movement to provide a farmer driven model that showcases regenerative agriculture as the transformational shift needed to balance our ecosystems at large. We approach regenerative agriculture through ecosystem management. Just as the regenerative poultry system works with the entire ecosystem of the land to produce abundant food, scaling regenerative poultry takes an ecosystem of businesses to produce regenerative outcomes. That is why collective ecosystem management forms the backbone of what we do.
