Each of us weave in our daily lives as well: when we collaborate with partners; when we identify and solve problems on our ranches and farms; when we develop symbiotic relationships with the plants and animals around us; when we share our story with new friends; and when we listen and have conversations with neighbors. For some\, weaving holds a deeper significance. \nWeaving is a means of survival\, as we are reminded through the stories of Black slaves braiding rice and seeds in their hair when forced to undertake the Middle Passage journey. Weaving is a means of resistance\, demonstrated through the knotted yucca cords used to signal the start of the Pueblo Revolt. Weaving is a means of subsistence\, which is shown in the use of woven baskets for fishing by Pacific Islanders. Weaving is a celebration and expression of our identities and relationships\, and is the central theme of our gathering this year. \nUnderstanding and recognizing how water\, land\, and people—the core elements of regenerative agriculture and land stewardship—are woven together is imperative. At this year’s conference\, we will take a holistic approach to these elements that is grounded in several fundamental ideas: water is life; land includes terrestrial\, aquatic\, and atmospheric systems and all the relationships within them; and people refers to those who regenerate our lands and food systems at varying scales and times\, past\, present\, and future. We intend to center marginalized peoples\, who have long practiced regenerative agriculture and land stewardship\, in this conference. With a holistic approach\, we seek to ensure that the wellness of water\, land\, and all people are considered\, protected\, and nurtured. \nThrough this approach and with these fundamentals in mind\, we question: What does regenerative agriculture and land stewardship look like when water is scarce? How do we consider different relationships to the land we steward? How do we shift from a culture of appropriation and destruction of traditional agricultural knowledge and stewardship practices\, to one of recognizing and actively centering the leadership of BIPOC? How do we move to a paradigm of racial equity as part of the work of creating a food system based on the concept of restorative reciprocity? How can agriculture regenerate and restore landscapes? How do we scale regenerative land stewardship? How do we respect and honor the unique attributes of water\, land\, and people\, while simultaneously weaving all three together? What can water\, land\, and people teach us when we listen? \nJoin us at REGENERATE 2021 to explore these questions and pursue solutions. The conference will feature a series of plenary talks\, community roundtable discussions\, virtual workshops\, and field days on topics like succession and transfer planning; holistic grazing planning\, “safe to fail” trials; climate resilience and adaptation; scaling regenerative agriculture and conservation practices; racial equity and justice in agriculture and land stewardship; holistic livestock health and management; interdisciplinary soil health research; collaborative conservation; and fostering the whole agrarian lifecycle. Regenerate mind\, body\, soil\, land\, water\, and spirit at this year’s convening\, Weaving Water\, Land & People.

But these grants can be tricky to apply for and win. The Wallace Center’s Food Systems Leadership Network is excited to offer this 3-session training on writing federal grant proposals. Join Margaret Krome of Michael Fields Agricultural Institute and Una Van Duvall for a 3 part series of hour-long workshops to help you develop skills for designing and writing successful federal grant proposals. This workshop will strengthen your skills\, ability\, and confidence around applying for federal USDA funding for food systems work. The lessons will inform\, direct\, and coach attendees by utilizing real-life funding examples\, peer-to-peer learning\, and tips and suggestions on how to design sound projects\, find funding and write successful grant proposals. \nWorkshops will take place on the following dates and times with a “bonus” workshop and Q&A session scheduled for November 18 for anyone who would like individual discussion about their projects or funding needs. These sessions will be recorded and shared on the FSLN platform if you can’t make one or all of them.

The Sharing Our Roots program is dedicated to bringing landowners together to help tackle the climate crisis by establishing conservation goals for their land. Climate Land Leaders facilitates a peer-to-peer landowner network to increase plant and animal diversity on their land\, keeping their soils covered and roots in the ground year around and planting trees and shrubs on cropland. Teresa will share how the program aims to restore prairie and savannas and wetlands by improving nutrient management on their crop ground and much more.
