Financial Impacts of Regenerative Agriculture on Native Farms and Ranches

Dec 11, 2024

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.

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
