Climate Farmers' Regenerative Agronomy Training, co-created with Datamars Sustainability Foundation, is a 6-month intensive for agronomists starting August 2026, with applications open. Limited to 10 spots, it's a pilot reviewed on a rolling basis for farm matches. Participants spend two one-month stays on leading European regenerative farms (costs covered), then two months with global agronomists via online learning and field consultations (self-accommodated), followed by a graduation project: a regenerative transition plan for a conventional farm. Weekly self-study totals 20-30 hours. Farms receive free transition plans, baseline measurements, three-year monitoring, and website profiles for certified regenerative produce sales. Expert agronomists share knowledge on regenerative principles, soil regeneration, and farm transitions. This program builds leadership in regenerative agronomy, blending immersion, mentorship, and application. Farm stays provide direct exposure to practices like cover cropping and holistic grazing; consultations demonstrate real-world advising. The capstone project hones planning skills, aiding conventional-to-regen shifts. Free services for host farms incentivize participation, measuring regeneration via baselines. Emphasis on European contexts addresses regional soils/climates, but principles are universal. Selection ensures fit, prioritizing early applicants. Graduates emerge as consultants driving widespread adoption, supported by elite networks. This accelerates regen ag scaling, equipping agronomists to regenerate millions of hectares.
