- [From chemistry to regeneration: Agriculture’s next transformation has begun](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/2026/02/from-chemistry-to-regeneration-agricultures-next-transformation-has-begun/) - Originally published by Mongabay here by Sallie Calhoun Agriculture is on the cusp of its most profound transformation in a century. Just as the Green Revolution shifted farming from sun and soil to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, we are just beginning another revolution: returning to an agriculture based on biology rather than chemistry. This isn’t

In our first post, we established the crisis of chemical agriculture and why returning to an agriculture based on biology could transform food production. Here, we reckon honestly with how we got here, why previous movements that promised transformation fell short
- [The Time is Now: How to Scale Regenerative Agriculture Without Losing Its Soul](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/2026/05/the-time-is-now-how-to-scale-regenerative-agriculture-without-losing-its-soul/) - Over the past two posts (part 1, part 2), we've journeyed from the crisis of chemical agriculture, through the promise of biological systems, to the lessons of previous movements that failed to transform agriculture at scale. Today, we explore how to make the regenerative revolution happen—and why this moment is both urgent and full of

Our 2025 grantee partners span California's Central Valley to its coastal regions, from New Mexico's high desert, across the Southwest, and reach
- [Imagining What is Possible](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/2026/04/imagining-what-is-possible/) - by Sallie Calhoun I firmly believe, and frequently say, that we have no idea what's possible in regenerating ecosystems. We are so far removed — in time and function — from healthy ecosystems that we can't really imagine what they could look like in our various places. We have all read accounts of huge flocks
- [Allowing Nature to Flourish in Agriculture](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/2026/04/allowing-nature-to-flourish-in-agriculture/) - by Kelly Mulville, Paicines Ranch Vineyard Director (originally written for participants of the Capital Commons Summit). Within two days of suggesting to the vineyard crew that they unplug their earbuds for at least a couple of hours a day in order to be more present, I got this message: “I’m hearing a strange bird.” “Does

I didn’t quite think I would see that theory tested out in the way that it has this year. COVID has put a harsh spotlight
- [Investing Out and Spending Down: Creating a Beautiful Sunset](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/2020/06/investing-out-and-spending-down/) - by Esther Park In the face of international reports that the world only has 60 years of topsoil left, and just 12 short years until we face catastrophic climate change, the #NoRegrets Initiative decided to accelerate the pace of our philanthropy in particular and embarked on a 10-year spend down plan of those assets. That
- [Cienega Musings: Root Cause](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/2020/11/cienega-musings-root-cause/) - by Esther Park I’m not exactly sure how I got connected to this guy, but one day I found myself at a club in Menlo Park across the table from a very traditional tech bro/VC type who said he was interested in food and agriculture. We had nearly nothing in common. This was back in

Recent federal actions—including executive orders, funding freezes, and mass layoffs—have disrupted essential programs, leaving communities and organizations struggling to maintain services and putting
- [NRI Retrospective 2023](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/2024/01/nri-retrospective-2023/) - A note from Sallie Calhoun on 7 years of NoRegrets We are now almost 7 years into the No Regrets Initiative, and I have been doing some reflecting, partially prompted by an update of the NRI website. When we started work on the site 7 years ago, conversations around healthy soils, regenerative agriculture, and climate

When asked recently what the "canary in the coal mine" is for ecosystem health, our colleague Jonathan Lundgren of Ecdisys Foundation said insects. Even though he is an entomologist, which may have affected his response, we agree with him. Given their position in the food chain, insects are
- [Celebrating World Soil Day!](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/2018/12/worldsoilday/) - We believe that soil is life. When in a good state, it builds health and fertility for people and planet. Soil has the ability to re-balance the carbon cycle beyond reducing emissions, in a way that benefits the oceans and agriculture; it can ensure that the water cycle is thriving, and prevent the dangerous extremes

- [Nutrient Density](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/opportunity/nutrient-density/) - What’s the Problem? Our agricultural practices improve traits (size, growth rate, pest resistance) of produce rather than nutrition. Between 1950 and 1999, 43 different fruits and vegetables had reliable declines in the amount of protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, riboflavin (vitamin B2) and vitamin C over the past half-century. From 1975 to 1997, average calcium levels

The amount of degraded land worldwide is between 1.9 and 3.6 billion hectares (4.7 and 8.9 billion acres), which is 32 to 73 percent of the world’s 4.9 billion hectares (12.1 billion acres) of farmland (including pasture). Roughly 70 percent of grasslands are degraded. Because arid and semi-arid lands are the most
- [Preventing Erosion](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/opportunity/preventing-erosion/) - What’s the Problem? Accelerated erosion from poor farming practices accounts for 1.1 billion tons of carbon emissions annually. All of the world’s topsoil could be gone in 60 years. How Can Building Healthy Soil Help? Agroforestry systems that prevent or reduce erosion on slopes include plantation polycultures, homegardens and multistrata systems, alley cropping and contour
- [Higher Crop Yields](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/opportunity/higher-crop-yields/) - Soils that are high in soil organic carbon (more than 1.5 to 2.0 percent carbon or 2.5 to 3.5 percent organic matter) produce higher crop yields and are more resistant to drought. An increase of 1 ton of soil organic carbon per hectare to the croplands of developing countries could increase food production there by

- [Where Is the Carbon Now?](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/opportunity/where-is-the-carbon-now/) - The terrestrial pool (soil and biotic carbon) is roughly four times larger than the atmospheric pool. Deforestation and agriculture have caused the loss of 320 billion tons of carbon from the terrestrial pool in the last 10,000 years, almost half of which has been since 1850. Burning fossil carbon for energy (in the form of
- [Agriculture’s Contribution to Climate Change](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/opportunity/agricultures-contribution-climate-change/) - Agriculture’s most damning contribution to climate change is the release of carbon held in the soil, primarily from deforestation and land clearing. This is euphemistically referred to as “changes in land use” and exposes soil organic carbon to oxygen in the air, converting it to carbon dioxide. Since the dawn of agriculture 10,000 years ago
- [This Is Different](https://www.noregretsinitiative.com/opportunity/this-is-different/) - This is why it’s different: It’s happening much faster by orders of magnitude.

We now have a global civilization brimming with vulnerable people, farms, and infrastructure. For comparison, at the coldest part of the last

That does not include the carbon that could be simultaneously sequestered into vegetation, but the numbers are significant on their own, equaling up to 40 percent of the increase in
