Core Purpose: Regenerate Uplift Nurture
- We help holistically regenerate the planet through restoration of its natural ecosystems - air, water, soil, food, and the people whose lives depend on them.
- We work in ways that intentionally uplift all of the people who live in the places where we work by securing their right to food, freedom and equality.
- We nurture the capacity of the leaders of local communities we engage with, and are humble, caring and respectful to preserve their sense of community, beliefs, and history.
2. Core Values: We engage the world and our team with:
- Joy - we choose to be positive in our work, look for the good in every situation, and be a source of joy to others.
- Hope - we look at past, present and future with positivity, choosing to see opportunities in challenges and to be grateful for what we have during hard times.
- Boldness - we strive to be bold in what we do; pioneering places others hesitate to go and confidently taking risks to solve big problems.
- Collaboration - we are a team grounded in mutual respect with members that patiently listen, celebrate differences, and take responsibility for missteps.
- Trust - we behold high standards of integrity and honesty, offering transparency to build and maintain trust in life, ourselves and all our relationships.
3. Our Mission: Regenerate Earth; Empower Women. We partner with farming communities to help them build Regeneration Hubs that provide livelihoods that halt deforestation, plant nutritious trees, accelerate ecosystem restoration, and improve the lives of women and indigenous communities.
We must: restore biodiverse agro-ecosystems and pass-on a healthy planet to future generations, create regenerative livelihoods that: generate profit, as well as individual, and community well-being, and enterprises that reverse the drivers of deforestation and land degradation. We must uplift and support leadership of women and indigenous farmers and forest dwelling communities.
Our Vision: We envision a world full of thriving biodiverse eco-agricultural landscapes and regenerative food systems that are managed by happy, healthy, safe families who ensure equality for women and indigenous farmers.
5. Plan: We plan to accomplish our mission and vision by:
- Building a solid backbone organization that activates a powerful network of leaders and experts aligned around our shared mission.
- Identifying innovative regenerative models - including the Regenerative Hub - and accelerating their adoption globally.
- Supporting our on-the-ground partners with resources (financing, marketing expertise, leadership training, client contacts, etc.) to prepare their projects for funding and success.
- Building capacity in gender empowerment in leaders of regeneration efforts and their funders.
