Reaping Conservation While Feeding the World

TNC is working with farmers, ranchers and other partners to meet the growing demand for food, while protecting lands and waters for people and nature.

Farmers and ranchers are vital to our way of life. They grow our food and produce fuel, fiber, building materials and even ingredients for medicines like insulin. They are among our greatest conservation allies.

The Nature Conservancy is working with partners to promote regenerative agriculture practices with two science-driven strategies: Sustainable Grazing Lands and Soil Health and Nutrients.

Using a collaborative, science-based approach, we are helping farmers and ranchers feed a growing population while ensuring clean and abundant water supplies, healthy lands, and a stable climate.
