Soil Health Academy (SHA) is a non-profit, 501(c)(3)
organization committed to empowering regeneration through education. We help farmers first UNDERSTAND, and then effectively apply nature’s proven regenerative agriculture principles. Our mission is to cultivate healthier soil, food, farms, and communities, paving the way for a healthier future.
Since 2017, SHA has empowered over 2,800 participants to reduce their dependence on synthetic chemicals, improve water infiltration by 75%, and cut pesticide and herbicide use by 65%.
Regenerative agriculture has the powerful potential to restore the health of our bodies, farms, communities, and planet, while also strengthening the economic viability of our planet’s farms and rural areas. However, without providing farmers and ranchers with the practical knowledge and tools to successfully apply soil health-improving principles, widespread adoption of regenerative agriculture remains unlikely. The Soil Health Academy was founded to address this critical need, helping to ensure that regenerative practices can be effectively implemented on farms and ranches across the world.

At a Soil Health Academy
You’ll learn from our team of experts who will guide you in boosting profitability, enhancing the resilience of your land, reducing input costs, and increasing the nutrient density and market appeal of your agricultural products.
Regardless of your location or what you grow, SHA will teach you practical, regenerative farming principles that are essential for the success of your farming or ranching operation.
SHA offers specialized academies that focus on production-specific topics as well as how soil health impacts food, nutrition, water quality, and human health. These include adaptive stewardship grazing, irrigated and specialty crops, nutrient management, stacked enterprises, small ruminants and species, enhanced marketing strategies.
Our Approach
The SHA curriculum is comprehensive, hands-on, and designed for practical application. It blends classroom learning with real-world field exercises, offered in one-, two-, or three-day formats. The curriculum is structured around three key areas of focus: mindset, skills, and tools. Host farms and ranches actively applying regenerative practices provide a live setting where students can see soil health in action, and more.
SHA, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, focuses its efforts on helping farmers first UNDERSTAND and then successfully apply nature’s time-proven, regenerative agriculture principles today—in order to grow healthier soil, food, farms and communities for tomorrow.

In a recent poll, Soil Health Academy graduates indicated they’re putting what they’ve learned to use on their farms and ranches AND are confident those practices will lead to greater profitability.
Spending three days building new relationships with experts and other like-minded producers gave me the fiery confidence to construct my young operation on solid bedrock.

The Soil Health Academy has been instrumental in taking my soil/farming knowledge (and hence the direction of my business) to the next level.

The Academy was a real eye opener. You all did such a great job presenting, and the fact that you are living what you’re teaching made all the difference. You’ve changed our way of thinking, and we’ve already started putting into practice what we learned.
