Thanks for your question, Christine! Regenerative agriculture seeks to restore, renew, and enhance natural resources through a range of practices that focus on healthy soils, ecosystems, and farming communities. We consider regenerative agriculture a step up from sustainability — a way to shift agriculture from being part of the climate problem to being part of the solution. Examples of regenerative agriculture practices include: cover cropping and crop rotations, minimizing inputs, no/limited tillage, and affordability and accessibility of crops.

This practice is also dedicated to improving the well-being of farmers and creating a future in which farming communities are economically viable and able to invest in practices that support the land. The goal is to create a system where farming is healthy for both the planet and for the people farming it. While it’s especially critical for today’s planet, regenerative agriculture isn’t new — it embodies principles foundational to longstanding Indigenous land traditions, positioning humans as stewards of the land on which we live.

Because regenerative agriculture is as-yet unregulated and uncertified, we’re defining our own regenerative agriculture standards in collaboration with farmers and partners, working together to determine what changes truly makes sense for their land. Overall, our approach seeks these improvements: 

• Improve soil health  
• Increase biodiversity  
• Sequester carbon  
• Increase the nutrient density of crops 
• Build resilient farm ecosystems  
• Ensure farming community well-being 

We're happy to share that all wheat used by King Arthur to make our flour is non-GMO.
