We are planting the seeds of respect, pride, and financial freedom for future generations of emerging farmers working across Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. We support our community to find meaningful pathways to advance regenerative practices and sustainable economic resilience.
Regenerative agriculture is a living system that is rooted in Indigenous knowledge and traditional farming wisdom and strengthened by modern science and technology. We define it as a holistic approach that improves outcomes for people, crops, animals, soil, and ecosystems. As this movement grows, our mission is to uplift emerging farmers, especially those historically excluded, by connecting them with the resources and capital they need to lead the shift toward ecological practices that begin to restore communities and the planet from the damage caused by industrial agriculture.
LEDC offers a comprehensive, one-stop regenerative agricultural business program designed to support emerging farmers across Minnesota and Western Wisconsin. Over the past decade, we’ve developed innovative ways to help farmers start, grow, and sustain their operations through technical assistance, business development, and access to capital and markets. We meet farmers where they are in their regenerative agriculture journey, providing the tools and support to move them forward.
Farmers from marginalized communities face systemic barriers to capital and support. We work to ensure they have equitable access, particularly within the regenerative agriculture funding landscape.
Many farmers lack the land and capital needed to fully implement regenerative practices. We identify producers ready to scale and support them with creative solutions that address climate change and conservation goals.
Building generational wealth starts with access to real assets. We help emerging farmers secure land and infrastructure to create lasting economic impact within their communities.

We could not do this vital work to move Regenerative Agricultural forward in our community without the help of our partners and our funders.
