MRCC Regenerative Agriculture Leadership Cohort Application

For corporations in the food and agriculture industry, there is a potent opportunity to meet corporate climate, nature, and water goals by pursuing the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices on working lands, especially in areas of high agricultural productivity.
Corporations and organizations vary in their definition of “regenerative agriculture.” MRCC refers to the following philosophy, principles, and practices to characterize the meaning of the term:
1. Generates positive environmental and social impacts through adoption of agricultural conservation practices, including soil health, water quality and use, climate benefits, biodiversity, and farm profitability.
2. Enables local communities to protect and improve their environment, health, and well-being.
3. Builds resilience through diversity of plant species, businesses, people, and culture.
4. Promotes equity and economic viability for all in the farming system, especially farm families and underserved farmers.
5. Produces crops with sufficient yield and nutritional quality to meet existing and future needs, while keeping the impact of resource inputs as low as possible.
