Mission
The Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems (CRARS) aims to investigate, develop, demonstrate, and educate about comprehensive, regenerative practices that both restore and enhance the resiliency of living systems.
Why this work is important?
As a society, we have overshot our planet’s capacity for sustainability, and we have only one option which is to rapidly regenerate that which underlies our life here on planet Earth, our soils. Agriculture is uniquely poised to address climate change by returning carbon to the soil through regenerative farming /ranching practices.
CRARS was created as a global research center, demonstration site, and policy think tank to usher in a real potential future for this planet’s capacity to robustly sustain Earth’s complex system of diversity.
Our programs are designed to support the farming and ranching communities with applied research, educational programs, and economically viable production systems that builds soil carbon.
