Farmer's Footprint is hosting Farm Yarns Webinar: The Global Landscape of Seeds and Seed Integrity. Make sure to attend it on February 26.

We're hosting a Free Community Webinar! Join us on February 26th for Farm Yarns: The Global Landscape of Seeds and Seed Integrity.

Join Our Free Community Webinar! Farm Yarns: The Global Landscape of Seeds and Seed Integrity. Seeds are more than the beginning of a plant—they are the foundation of our food, our health, and the resilience of our planet. Every bite we take, every harvest we celebrate, traces back to the integrity of the seeds we sow. Yet today, the very fabric of seed diversity is under threat. In the name of progress, genetic engineering has introduced new risks—biological, environmental, economic, and political. As we strive to regenerate soil, restore biodiversity, and rebuild strong food systems, we must ask: Who controls our seeds, and what does that mean for the future of food sovereignty? This month’s Farm Yarns brings together leading voices in the movement to unpack this urgent issue. Join our Managing Director, Alana Mooi, as she moderates an engaging conversation with special guests Emmanuel González-Ortega, Kiira Heymann, and Jessica Hutchings —three advocates at the forefront of seed integrity and regenerative agriculture. Non-GMO Project Papawhakaritorito Trust UAM Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana Together, we’ll explore how seeds shape not just our food, but our autonomy, our ecosystems, and our collective future. This is more than a conversation—it’s a call to action. Register online, and hope to see you there!

Biodiversity is the key to Earth’s balance, shaping every aspect of our lives.? ? Biodiversity loss is a growing crisis. Forests, grasslands, and coral reefs are disappearing, along with their beautiful inhabitants that help sustain life on Earth. The cause? Human activity and destructive practices. But we also hold the power to be the solution. ? Regenerative farming offers hope by nurturing biodiversity—revitalizing soil, creating thriving habitats for pollinators and wildlife, and restoring harmony between agriculture and nature. ?

In the village of Sefid Cheshmeh, Cheshme Meals shows us that the most beautiful things in life often come from the simplest moments. As a family in rural Iran, their days consist of tending to their land, cutting wood for the fireplace, and gathering to cook by the warmth of the fire. It's a life rooted in connection—with the land, food, and one other. Simple ingredients, when treated with care, can become something truly magical. This rolled pumpkin dish uses just a handful of ingredients, but through the creativity of interlocking pumpkin rings, wrapping the dough, and baking among hot embers, it transforms into a work of art.? This is a beautiful reminder that good food doesn’t have to be complicated. Pumpkin itself is a gift from nature, rich in fiber, antioxidants, and essential vitamins that nourish both body and soul. This mindful way of cooking invites us to reconnect with the beauty of food, the joy of creating with our hands, and the peace that comes from embracing the present moment.

Regenerative farming enriches the Earth, as opposed to exploiting it. Regeneration can look as unique as the land it nurtures. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution—it’s a thoughtful, adaptive approach that responds to the needs of the soil, the ecosystem, and the people who care for it. At Farmer’s Footprint, we’re building a future where healthy soil, thriving ecosystems, and resilient communities are the foundation of our food systems.

Storytelling has the power to heal. At Farmer’s Footprint, our stories begin with farmers and the land—but they live on in each of us. Through these stories, we celebrate the legacy of communities who are nurturing the land, while encouraging all of us to reflect, embrace, and actively engage in regeneration—not just as an idea, but as a way of life.

The way we grow our food shapes the world we live in. Industrial farming has brought biodiversity loss, ecosystem collapse, and chronic disease—but regeneration offers a way forward. At Farmer’s Footprint, we’re building a future where healthy soil, thriving ecosystems, and resilient communities are the foundation of our food systems. Thank you for being here—your support makes this movement possible. Together, we’re planting seeds of change. ?? Photo Credit: Paul Chesley #FarmersFootprint #NonProfit? #FarmingForTheFuture

How does the environment shape our health in ways we rarely notice? The air we breathe carries traces of ecosystems far removed from us. The water we drink reflects the vitality—or depletion—of the land it moves through. The food we eat carries the memory of the soil it came from. Yet, as our ecosystems fray, so too do the threads that bind us: our health, our communities, and the culture of care that once grounded us. This isn’t just about food. It’s about the stories we’ve inherited—and the ones we’ll leave behind. Regeneration begins not with answers, but with questions that challenge the way we see and interact with the world around us: —? What happens to a community when its soil is no longer alive? —? How does the health of a single farm ripple outward into entire landscapes and cultures? —? If the environment shapes our health, what would it mean to nurture it, and in doing so, nurture ourselves? At Farm Yarns: Nurtured by Nature, we’ll explore these questions through the lenses of science, storytelling, and advocacy. @drnashawinters will uncover the intricate ties between metabolic health and soil vitality. @oliver_english will share stories of culture, food, and regeneration from the ground up. @glyphosategirl will challenge us to rethink the cost of chemical agriculture on our collective well-being. This is not a conversation of absolutes. It’s an invitation to hold space for complexity—to question, reflect, and reconnect. Regeneration asks us to look beyond individual acts and see the larger systems that sustain life. It asks us to consider not just what we take from the Earth, but what we give back. So we ask: How will you contribute to the health of the living systems that shape you? JOIN US TODAY, December 3rd, at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET for a conversation that may not provide all the answers but is sure to inspire the questions that lead us toward a future truly nurtured by nature.
