The Policy Forum: Defining Regenerative Agriculture - Lessons from States and Communities Driving Agricultural Transition

Jun24
  • Date: June 24, 2026
    Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm
    Location: Virtual

How do you think about regeneration in your context and region? And how might an agreed-upon definition benefit farmers, consumers, policymakers and the planet?

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.

Join us for a Policy Forum, co-hosted by ASBN and Forum for the Future, on June 24th at 1 PM ET to explore how states are emerging as important testing grounds for defining and operationalizing regenerative agriculture in practice, while balancing accountability, regional flexibility, and stakeholder engagement. This webinar will convene a virtual multi-stakeholder roundtable featuring perspectives from grassroots organizers, Indigenous leaders, policy practitioners, and sustainability experts.
