Regenerative Grazing in the South: Case Studies from Mississippi

This publication tells the stories of four pioneering Mississippi farmers who are trying new practices to enhance soil function and enable their soils to catch and hold more water. These practices are particularly important to resource-limited farmers because they can make farms more resilient and improve community food security. These stories highlight not only successes but also the barriers many farmers in the the South experience in adopting regenerative practices. Together, these stories provide a snapshot of the real-world experience of Mississippi producers, illuminating the importance of networks for providing peer support and illustrating how regenerative grazing is slowly gaining ground with small farmers in Mississippi.
