Project Description
An interdisciplinary team of W&M students and faculty are documenting the perspectives of farmers across Virginia about the barriers and opportunities to scale regenerative agriculture.
This project, led by the Institute for Integrative Conservation (IIC), seeks to create an actionable roadmap to broaden the adoption of regenerative agriculture in the eastern United States, by documenting the perspectives of diverse agricultural communities across Virginia. Using an integrative conservation framework, W&M students are interviewing and sharing the stories of farmers across the mid-Atlantic region regarding the barriers and opportunities for scaling regenerative agriculture practices.Project ID -format
