Our goals by 2040 are: 164M acres transitioned to regenerative management 86K farmers and ranchers who are implementing the six principles of soil health 75% of farmers and ranchers meeting their financial goals Grow stronger communities, better food, and a more sustainable future for us all. Since its founding in 1945, Noble Research Institute has guided farmers and ranchers as they steward our nation’s grazing lands and provide food and fiber for families — their own and those beyond the farm gate. Learn More Healthy soil is the foundation for thriving grazing lands and profitable farms and ranches. The benefits are far-reaching including: Increased water holding capacity for flood and drought resilience. Nutrient-dense forages that reduce supplemental feed costs. Natural pest and disease suppression to reduce chemical inputs. Higher rates of carbon sequestration in the soil. Enhanced biodiversity above and below the ground.
