Greenacres Regenerative Agriculture Scholarship Fund

HMI is excited to announce that we recently received funding from the Greenacres Foundation for the Greenacres Regenerative Agriculture Scholarship Fund. This fund provides scholarships to young and beginning farmers and ranchers or those producers transitioning to regenerative agricultural practices for in depth Holistic Management training. These full and partial scholarships are need- and merit-based to train the next generation of regenerative agricultural producers. Scholarships have been so important for many farmers and ranchers, like C.D. Pounds of Texas, to learn these critical regenerative agricultural practices for the 21st century. C.D. says, “Because of the scholarship and training we received from HMI for the Beginning Farmer Program, our soil health has increased with multi-species in our pastures allowing us to winter graze our cattle with little or no supplemental hay. Prior to this, we purchased 100-150 bales each winter. We have also experienced an increase in net profit each year since implementing the financial planning we learned. This fast-paced year, the increase is over 85% on the farm. Thank you so much!” To learn more about applying for an HMI scholarship, visit our Scholarship page.

Greenacres Foundation was also a key supporter of the HMI documentary, "The First Millimeter. This PBS documentary is a mosaic of interviews with Holistic Management® practitioners combined with stunning footage of holistically managed landscapes in Africa, North America, and Australia. Innovative grazing management practitioners explain why the first millimeter of soil is critical to our collective future, and they share the practices they use to build healthy soils and vibrant communities.
