- Proven Impact
Real Results from Regenerative Education
Across farms and ranches, Soil Health Academy graduates are applying regenerative principles with confidence. In post-program surveys, participants report meaningful shifts in decision-making, management practices, and a strong belief that these changes will drive long-term profitability and resilience.
The Soil Health Academy experience was very inspirational and encouraged me to push for regenerative ag here on the Navajo Nation. Thanks to what I learned at SHA, I can work on bringing life back to my soil and will teach our youth and others in the community to do the same.

The Soil Health Academy team taught us how to save our farm by lowering input costs and by getting higher premiums through direct marketing.

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.

Kristen’s Farm Stand, Brighton, CO
In my experience, limited though it may be, one of the most profound interactions for a student to encounter, is an instructor who truly believes in the message they are transmitting and the SHA has this in spades. This was an inspiring experience that I will return to as often as opportunity allows and I hope to increase my involvement in any way I can.
