- Species-unique animal well-being from start to finish that simultaneously enhances the farmers’ success, production and lifestyle
- Farm and ranch integration with wild eco-systems in ways that enhance both
- Connection of farmers and non-farmers in mutually beneficial ways, often via agritourism and other farmer to customer connections.
- Support for local economies first while being charitable with surplus to distant economies in temporary crisis, as well as thoughtfully selling locality specific crops around the globe.
- Continued expansion of locally adapted and adaptable crop varieties, which includes seed sovereignty.

Regenerative Agrarian is the online library of selected photojournalism, magazine feature articles and the ag blog of author Barbara Berst Adams. Her continuing career covering regenerative agriculture spans 25 years (and started before it was consistently called ‘regenerative’ ag.)
Occasional original guest articles may appear.
It’s maintained by a group of introverted volunteers who though are not shy of humans, restore themselves better among plants, animals and deep discussions with eco-farmers.
Monetization comes from products for farmers by various artisans and craftspeople sold through Zazzle, and the author’s own eco-ag books. When clicking on our Zazzle links, no one earns any commission just from clicking. That happens only when something is actually purchased, and in that case, it’s of no extra cost to the purchaser.
We also allow Google ads on a small number of specific pages.
Regarding carbon offsets for travel to agrarian destinations, we all plant and maintain trees and polyculture meadows to create surplus sequestration. Ms. Adams has long kept a multi-acre rural building lot wild and full of hundreds of native trees, native hedgerows, wildlife and undisturbed multi-species grassland instead of allowing it to be developed. Every few years, part of the grassland portion is regeneratively grazed or scythed, then left alone again. On two of her other acres she's used the permaculture chop and drop method for two decades to build up soil carbon and topsoil where both were once very thin, timing it to allow the meadow to be habitat for grass nesting and feeding birds and other meadow wildlife. The soil is now richer with dark earth and earthworms.
The farms and gardens portrayed here demonstrate at least some unique regenerative strategies. Not all use every regenerative method possible and many are continually learning and adapting. But in seeing what they are doing now, we can better continue to move further towards regeneration. In seeing these people, places and situations through a regenerative lens, we can also point to what could soon be happening if it hasn't happened yet.
Our 'What's New' and RSS Feed page for Regenerative Agrarian and Micro Eco-Farming
What is regenerative agriculture? Here's a short overview. It points out there are many aspects to regenerative agriculture, and then focuses on three popular ones for illustration. There are more than the three, of course, such as holistic grazing vs. rotational grazing shown here. But it can offer a solid starting point:
