About the Illinois Regenerative Agriculture Initiative
The Illinois Regenerative Agriculture Initiative (IRAI) fits into the University of Illinois Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment research theme of Secure and Sustainable Agriculture. Sponsored by Fresh Taste, IRAI is a partnership between the Department of Crop Sciences, College of ACES, Illinois Extension, and iSEE.
Current environmental and economic trends highlight the need for agriculture and food systems that are resilient to climate change, improve soil and water quality, support healthy communities, and enhance food security. A promising approach that has gained considerable traction with farmers and food systems participants is “regenerative agriculture.” Read more and find a short video about the iSee program at Illinois Regenerative Agriculture Initiative.
