The Policy Forum: Defining Regenerative Agriculture – Lessons from States and Communities Driving Agricultural Transition
While regenerative agriculture is rapidly gaining traction across markets, supply chains, and public policy, the absence of shared frameworks is creating confusion and slowing action. As regenerative agriculture terminology is increasingly incorporated into state and federal programs, procurement strategies, and private-sector commitments, the lack of clear guardrails and implementation frameworks risks creating fragmentation, market confusion, and uneven outcomes for producers and businesses alike.
The Policy Forum: Farm Policy & Business Risk — Where the Farm Bill Stands
The Farm Bill shapes commodity prices, conservation programs, nutrition policy and the supply chains businesses depend on — and the House just signaled where it wants to take it.
This Policy Forum brings together experts in agricultural policy, farmer advocacy, and production systems to dig into what the House vote reveals: who benefits under current proposals, where gaps remain, and what’s likely to shift as the legislation moves through the Senate and into final negotiations.
The conversation will connect policy decisions to real-world outcomes, including farmer access, market participation, and the signals being sent across supply chains, and explore how businesses should be thinking about sourcing risk, resilience, and long-term planning as the legislation moves through the Senate and into final negotiations.
