Texas Grazing Network

Regenerative grazing can be a powerful way to increase resilience to severe weather, like drought stress and flooding, safeguard healthy soil, reduce costly inputs, sequester carbon, and provide grassland habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. Yet, ranchers may be skeptical of adopting regenerative grazing practices due to their profitability and practicality concerns. 

Farmer and rancher-led mentor networks effectively address concerns about regenerative practices because they enable peer-to-peer learning based on real-world experience. American Farmland Trust (AFT) established the Texas Grazing Network (TGN) to assist ranchers, especially historically underserved producers, in understanding the benefits of regenerative practices and providing guidance on successfully implementing them in their grazing operations.   

AFT invites producers interested in participating in TGN as mentors or mentees to apply.
