Quinn Institute to Foster the Evolution of Regenerative Organic Agriculture
5 Pillars of Change
Quinn, who has been a pioneer in the regenerative organic agriculture movement for many years, has long envisioned a rise in the number of successful regenerative organic producers growing nutrient-dense foods. He had constructed the institute to serve five pillars for system change:
- Creating a partnered environment and building an engaging community to address some of our greatest challenges.
- Advancing the science, understanding and promotion of food as medicine.
- Leading place-based agriculture research and the practice of regenerative organic agriculture and healthy food production.
- Understanding and promoting the solutions that regenerative organic agriculture has for mediating climate change and reducing chemical pollution on our planet.
- Using a regional approach with far-reaching, national, and global implications.
“The U.S. faces interwoven crises around a resilient solution to nutritious food production and the tsunami of chronic disease that is sweeping the country,” Quinn cautions. “Establishing the Quinn Institute is a timely response to a growing need to craft a healthier future for our population.”
