Regenerative Agriculture & Ecological Design
Our mission is to restore the Earth and our communities through Regenerative Design.
Industrial Culture has created excessive waste, degraded landscapes, and damaged communities that lack interconnectedness, fulfillment, and meaningful relationships with the natural world. We believe that by working in harmony with nature’s patterns, we can rebuild our world.
Our vision is to transform dry, abandoned, and marginalized landscapes into lush ecosystems where humans, animals, and spirit can thrive. Through regenerating the land, we are restoring the health of our community.
DAR is firmly grounded in regenerative lifestyle and rooted deeply in earth-based livelihood, linking a team of regenerative land designers and social systems thinkers dedicated to revisioning all aspects of culture – land management, commerce, food systems, and community – for the purpose of dismantling culturally oppressive systems and rediscovering equality and harmony on Earth.
