Conservation professionalsOur team, in partnership with Trust In Food™, designed an online tool to support the conservation community when designing farmer engagement strategies and tactics.
The tool designed to help conservation professionals reach farmers faster is available for independent learning. Additionally, our team is ready to talk with you about workshops to develop core competency around communication and engagement.
A common theme is that without a tool to reach more producers farther afield and faster, the rapid scaling of regenerative practices will not happen – even with the strength of programs and funding currently available.
Our approach to engage the conservation community with a practical, scalable tool will lead to a deeper understanding of the multiple perspectives of middle adopters, engagement strategies to increase producer readiness to take action, and removing barriers to adoption of regenerative practices that will lead to regenerative outcomes at scale.
