Co-founded by regenerative agriculture luminaries, Gabe Brown, Allen Williams, PhD, and Ray Archuleta, Understanding Ag is a regenerative agricultural consulting company that provides the support and confidence to help clients reduce input costs, generate actual profits and ensure family farming futures. They accomplish this by educating and mentoring farmers, ranchers, landowners, businesses, and communities in the principles and practices needed to restore, repair, rebuild, regenerate their farming and ranching ecosystems. They are real farmers and ranchers who combine decades of experience to help clients successfully implement regenerative agricultural and ecological principles that replace the input-intensive, agricultural model to enable sustained profitable farming and ranching operations. Understanding Ag, LLC also offers consulting and planning services for multi-enterprise systems, businesses, organizations and communities. Unlike other agricultural industry consultants, they do not sell or recommend products that promise “more bushels” or “more pounds.” Their services are designed to enable sustained profitability by helping clients successfully implement practices that restore soil health and ecosystem function while reducing dependency on expensive inputs. In short, their goal is to put more money in the producer’s pocket.
Understanding Ag’s flagship training program is called Soil Health Academy. Through hands-on training from the world’s leading experts, Soil Health Academy participants learn how to increase profitability, build resiliency into the land, decrease input costs and improve nutrient density of food and agricultural products. No matter where you farm or what you grow, Soil Health Academy will teach you how to improve soil health through practical regenerative agricultural principles. Grants / scholarships from Kiss the Ground’s Farmland Program may be applicable to Soil Health Academy programs.
