Farmer's Footprint

Farmer's Footprint A 501c3 Nonprofit Catalyzing a Regenerative Future We are here to accelerate regenerative food systems as a means to restore human and planetary health. Why?

Because industrialized agriculture practices used in conventional farming have coincided with the explosion of chronic disease, ecosystem collapse, and biodiversity loss. Our value is intersectional, and antiracist. We proactively engage underserved communities and build bridges between community rights, food security, social justice, and environmentalism. Our approach is scalable. We are engineer

ing the tools, business models, policies, and incentives to scale regeneration globally. Farmer's Footprint is a program of Project*Biome, a non-profit organization under IRS Code Section 501(c)(3) with an EIN of 83-3364077

Across the world, more people are asking questions about the future of food:

How do we restore soil?
Reduce chemical dependency?
Support biodiversity?
Strengthen local food systems?

Agroecology offers one of the broadest frameworks we have for holding these questions together. It understands that living farming is about relationship. Relationship between soil, water, seed, culture, economics, governance, and community.

This is why agroecology is more than a checklist of prescriptions or practices. It asks ecological questions, but also social and political ones.

Who controls land? Who holds seed?
How is knowledge shared?
What kinds of food systems are being built, and for whom?

These conversations recognize that ecological agriculture movements, including organic, biodynamic, regenerative, permaculture, and agroecological approaches, each contribute valuable perspectives, knowledge, and practices to the future of food and farming.

The deeper task is learning how these movements can strengthen one another in the transition away from extractive industrial systems and toward living, local, resilient food systems.

The seed carries the story.

Dr. Michael Kotutwa Johnson is a 250th-generation Hopi farmer working to revitalize Indigenous food systems from Hopitutskwa, Arizona. Through his work, he shares the understanding that seed is far more than a commodity. It carries memory, relationship, identity, and continuity across generations, honoring the practices of those who came before while nourishing those yet to come.

Farmer’s Footprint, Mad Agriculture, and Tucson Village Farm invite you to join us in celebration of Issue 15 of Mad Journal.

Gather with us for an evening of connection, education, food, and community at Tucson Village Farm on Friday, June 5.

The ecological principles associated with regenerative agriculture are deeply rooted in Indigenous knowledge systems.

The indigenous Ways of Knowing have been carried across generations, shaped through lived experience and a deep responsibility to care for what sustains life.

They emerge from close relationship with place. From long observation of soil, water, weather, plants, and animals. From listening, rather than directing.

Within many Indigenous food systems, land is understood as living and relational. Soil is cared for as something responsive. Biodiversity is not a strategy, but a natural expression of a healthy system. Seasonal cycles guide how food is grown and gathered, and everything exists in connection.

Food production is not separate from culture. It is woven into language, ceremony, and shared knowledge about how to live in right relationship with land and community.

Today, regenerative agriculture is gaining attention as a way to rebuild soil health and support biodiversity. Many of these ideas reflect knowledge that has long been practiced and protected by Indigenous communities around the world.

As these conversations continue to grow, there is a responsibility to acknowledge where this wisdom comes from, and the communities who have carried it forward with care.

Our new educational piece —> The Origins of Regenerative Agriculture, explores the origins of these farming ways within Indigenous and traditional knowledge systems.

Regenerative agriculture is often spoken about as though it has a single definition.

The truth is, by its very nature, it couldn’t possibly.

Across research, farming communities, and institutions, the term is used in different ways. What connects these interpretations is a shared direction: an approach to farming that works to restore the health of the land while continuing to produce food. What differs is how that restoration is understood, practiced, and measured from place to place.

In many systems, it begins with soil. The living structure that supports water cycles, nutrient exchange, plant health, and the broader ecosystems that depend on it.

Practices like cover cropping, reduced tillage, crop rotation, and managed grazing are often used to support these processes, but no single practice defines regeneration on its own.

Many of these approaches are not new. They have been practiced for generations by Indigenous communities and farmers working in close relationship with their land. What is often less visible in modern conversations is the worldview beneath them, one that understands land as a living system shaped by relationships.

The future of regenerative agriculture will depend on farmers being supported in this work, and on more people understanding that the choices they make can help strengthen the systems they want to see grow.

There’s a quiet moment around food. In the market, in the kitchen, or just before we eat. A moment where something deeper can surface. Why do we eat the way we do?

For many of us, the answer wasn’t something we consciously chose. It was shaped over time. By family, by place, by what was available, and what was passed down or slowly replaced.

These patterns settle into rhythm until they begin to feel fixed.
But food culture has always been something living. It moves with people, with seasons, with memory. It holds relationship to land, to each other, to ways of feeding that carry meaning beyond the meal itself.

When we begin to notice this, even gently, something shifts. Eating becomes less automatic, more relational.

A small return to awareness.
To choice.

The way we eat shapes more than our own lives. It shapes the cultures we continue, the ones we let go of, and the ones we begin again.

What feels worth remembering, or returning to, in the way you eat?

For some, farming has always been more than labor - it’s a purpose, a calling. It’s true that farming comes with challenges:

long hours, uncertain income, and high barriers to entry. And yet, a new generation of young farmers is finding ways to overcome these hurdles, guided by their commitment to nurture the land and their communities.

Red Tail Farms is led by Matt and Gabrielle, both in their 20s, who, despite the challenges, have chosen to step into this work. While the average American farmer is now 58 years old (up from 50 in 1982), Matt and Gabrielle represent a new generation of farmers, rooted in a guiding purpose: to grow nutrient-rich food and to nourish the very community and land that shaped them.

Their story is one of courage and commitment and serves as a reminder that regeneration is carried forward by those willing to plant seeds for a healthier tomorrow.

Tending a garden can become more than a simple act of care. It can be a way of returning to something living, grounded, and close at hand.

Rebecca McMackin invites us to see gardening as an opportunity to support biodiversity, welcome butterflies, and create thriving habitat for local flora and fauna. What begins in a backyard or shared community space can become part of something larger, a more abundant and connected living world.

And the benefits extend beyond biodiversity. Time spent in gardens and living environments can support human health and wellbeing too.

In times that can feel uncertain or overwhelming, small acts like these offer a way to stay connected, to participate, and to create something life-giving close to home.

Follow to learn more about how you can cultivate biodiversity, and butterflies, in your own community.

Overwhelm can feel hard to escape right now. In a world shaped by tension and uncertainty, it is easy to feel depleted or unsure where to begin.

But action does not have to start at scale.
It can begin close to home.

Every day, farmers show us this. Through economic pressure and global instability, they keep tending the land, growing food, and supporting the communities around them. Their example is a reminder that meaningful action is often quiet, practical, and close at hand.

A bottle returned. Food shared. A local group joined. A neighbour supported. Small actions, carried out consistently, have a way of shifting how we feel. They reconnect us. They move something forward.
And they spread.

We often look outward for solutions. But change has always taken root somewhere specific. Usually, it starts right where we are.

When the world feels loud, uncertain, and disconnected, it can help to remember what hasn’t left us.

The ground beneath our feet.
The living systems that still receive us.
The simple acts that bring us back into ourselves.

Connection doesn’t require grand gestures. Sometimes it begins by stepping outside and remembering where we belong.

To hear more about the solutions explored in the final episode of The Invisible Ingredient, you’ll find it waiting at the link in our bio.
