What is Regenerative Agriculture? What We Hope to Learn Methodology Study Findings FAQs

Financial Findings

The financial data we’re collecting includes detailed information on milk solids production per hectare, farm working expenses, item expenses, pasture quantity consumed, and more. This helps us build a picture of the profitability of regenerative farming, in comparison to conventional practices.
