We invite you to contribute your energy and ideas to the conversation at
REGENERATE 2026,
Stewardship in Action.
Standing outside – feeling the soil beneath our feet and the sun on our face – can push us toward momentum and effort on the land. Stewardship is a sustained responsibility and set of meaningful actions that showcase our shared dedication to resilient ecosystems, land, and communities.
Daily tasks, changing weather, and complex markets can be challenging and frustrating, but stewardship reminds us that we must remain committed to the relationship between people and land over time. This shared responsibility to listening and action allows us to make collaborative decisions with ecosystems, helping them be more resilient and adaptive so that watersheds, soil, and communities thrive for generations to come.
The reasons we’re called to regenerative agriculture and conservation are as diverse as we are. Finding the thing that inspires us and roots our actions can make possible:
- Creative grazing solutions that benefit livestock and wildlife populations
- Gatherings to build erosion control structures to protect riparian areas
- Implementation of ancestral agroforestry practices for landscape restoration
- A commons approach to land ownership
- Supporting regional food supply chains through community-rooted economic development
Through inspiring talks, workshops, deep discussions, and skill-building opportunities, REGENERATE 2026: Stewardship in Action will motivate you to make changes, try something new, and unite with others to build momentum for transformative stewardship.
“Twenty plus years later, I still look forward to attending the annual conference–now called the REGENERATE Conference–of the Quivira Coalition, HMI and the American Grassfed Association. What a joy to reconnect with old friends and mentors and to be re-inspired to the work we all do on the land, especially by the younger folk who now lead us. The 2002 Quivira conference introduced me to the concept of regenerative management and provided the underpinning of my work as a rancher and producer. The principles of HMI solidified my practice and bottom line, and the early support of AGA was critical to our grassfed beef business. I am thrilled that the three now work together to broaden our work and outreach.”
