Financial Impacts of Regenerative Agriculture on Native Farms and Ranches

Environmental Defense Fund and the Intertribal Agriculture Council (IAC) are leading a collaborative study to better understand the financial, soil and animal health impacts of regenerative agriculture practices on Native farming and ranching operations. This three-year project (2022-2024) will assess these impacts by measuring soil health, livestock health and financial outcomes on Native farms and ranches across the Great Plains region.

The project aims to provide data-driven insights to inform farm and ranch strategies, as well as financing solutions, that help Native producers profitably adopt regenerative practices. Access to financial credit tailored to their unique needs and aligned with their regenerative agriculture goals enables Native producers to invest in their operations and achieve long-term financial success.
