Congress: Support Regenerative Agriculture – Release IRA Funding for Regen Ag!

This is our opportunity to strengthen American agriculture and confront the climate crisis. The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) includes a historic $20 billion investment in conservation and climate-smart agriculture (which includes regenerative agriculture)—funding that could increase carbon sequestration, improve water retention, build resilience to drought and floods, reduce emissions, support rural economies, and protect wildlife habitats. These investments are critical for America’s farm resilience, food security, soil health, and rural economies.

Regenerate America coalition partners are being hit hard by this! Here are just a few examples of where funding to regenerative agriculture projects is being stopped!

• Growing GRASS (www.ggrass.org) $35M –Run by the American  Sustainable Business Institute and Other Half Processing
• White Buffalo Land Trust (www.whitebuffalolandtrust.org/elderberries) $4.6M
• Thousand Hills Climate Smart Grant Project (https://thousandhillslifetimegrazed.com/climate-smart-commodities/) $4.5M
