American Grassfed Association (AGA). 
The goal of the AGA is to promote grassfed meat and dairy through government relations, advocacy, research, marketing, and public education. AGA certifies (through independent, third-party review) grassfed animals as those who have eaten only grass and forage from weaning to slaughter, have not been raised in confinement, and have never received antibiotics or growth hormones. All AGA‑Certified Producers are American family farms and their livestock is born and raised in the U.S.

CalCAN (California Climate & Agriculture Network) 
CalCAN is a coalition of farmers and ranchers, scientists, and others within California advocating for the transition from environmentally destructive agricultural practices to sustainable and organic practices that build food security, protect our water supply, mitigate climate change (through reduced greenhouse gas emissions and carbon sequestration in the soil), and create community.

Center for Regenerative Agriculture and Resilient Systems (CRARS), California State University, Chico 
The goal of CRARS is to promote regenerative agricultural practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, restore soil resiliency, increase the sustainability of farms and ranches, and address food and water security. CRARS is working to enhance our understanding of regenerative agriculture through applied research, establishment of a national network, educational program (certifications and minors/majors in regenerative agriculture), farmer to farmer networks, and discussion around a peer-reviewed journal in regenerative agriculture.

Kiss the Ground 
This ground-breaking non-profit focuses on education and awareness of the benefits of healthy soil to the climate, food systems, and the environment through film, soil health education, stewardship, leadership training, advocacy for policy changes, and the Kiss the Ground Farmland Program that supports farmers and ranchers transitioning to regenerative agricultural practices.

Marin Carbon Project (MCP) 
MCP is a group of university researchers, county and federal agencies, nonprofits, and the Nicasio-Native Grass Ranch (John Wick) that researches, demonstrates, and implements practices to enhance carbon sequestration in soils on rangeland, agricultural land, and the forest within Marin County. MCP conducts research through UC Berkeley, UC Cooperative Extension, Colorado State University or other partnering universities, and implements practices through the Marin Resource Conservation District and the Natural Resources Conservation Service.

National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition (NSAC) 
NSAC is an alliance of grassroots organizations that advocates for federal policy reform to advance the sustainability of agriculture, food systems, natural resources, and rural communities and provides direct representation in Washington DC.

Savory Institute 
The Global Savory Institute is the pioneering organization co-founded by Allan Savory, a Zimbabwean ecologist and livestock farmer, on holistic management of livestock to facilitate the large-scale regeneration of the world’s degraded grasslands to mitigate climate change, address food and water security, and create thriving communities. The Savory Institute offers holistic management training, online resources, and an extensive global network.

Soil Health Academy
