Soil & Climate Alliance
Summer Network Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia | June 17-19
Summer '25 Network Meeting Overview
This June, our Soil & Climate Alliance Summer Network Meeting will be a hands-on, minds-on gathering designed to move regenerative agriculture forward. This working summit convenes farmers, scientists, brands, funders, and supply chain leaders who are actively shaping the future of food and farming through collaboration, innovation, and action. This is not your typical conference. It's a space to build strategy, strengthen relationships, and align on what’s needed to scale regeneration across regions, supply chains, and communities.
Here’s a glimpse of what we’ll explore together:
🌱 Linking nutrient density to regenerative practices
🌾 Building regional supply webs, including a spotlight on Delta rice
🐄 Rethinking feed systems within regenerative rotations
🤝 Co-designing and scaling high-impact initiatives
To root our work in practice, we’ll kick off with an immersive field day at White Oak Pastures, the Harris family’s renowned regenerative farm in Bluffton, Georgia. Walk the land, hear the stories, and see firsthand how principles of regeneration show up in livestock, soil, and community.
Whether you're driving change from the field, the lab, the boardroom, or the policy table—this gathering is for you. Let’s roll up our sleeves and shape what’s next.

Regenerative Field Day - Tuesday, June 17
🌿 White Oak Pastures Farm Tour | June 17 | Bluffton, GA
We’re kicking off the Summer ‘25 Network Meeting with an exclusive, behind-the-scenes tour of one of the most iconic regenerative farms in the country: White Oak Pastures.
Guided by the Harris family—trailblazers in regenerative land stewardship—you’ll experience a working model of circular agriculture at scale. From innovative multi-species grazing systems to their on-site processing facilities, White Oak Pastures is a living example of how regeneration shows up in practice across soil, livestock, and community.
If this farm is on your regenerative ag bucket list, now’s your chance to walk the land, ask questions, and learn directly from the leaders who made the transition from conventional to regenerative—and never looked back.
