  • USDA Rural Development has awarded Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) £3.1 million to enhance the production of regenerative farming nutrition products, fostering sustainable agriculture practices.
  • The grant will enable AEA to expand its manufacturing capacity, increasing access to biological products that improve soil health, reduce chemical inputs, and support higher crop yields.
  • This initiative aligns with USDA’s goals to support rural economies through job creation and promote environmentally friendly practices that address climate change and ensure food security.
  • The funding will help more growers adopt regenerative farming techniques, improving profitability while contributing to a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Development has granted Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) $3.8 million (£3.1 million) to support the expansion of its production of regenerative farming nutrition products.

This funding highlights the growing recognition of sustainable agriculture as a key solution to modern farming challenges.

The funding will enable the company to scale its manufacturing operations and increase the availability of its regenerative products, which are designed to help farmers achieve more sustainable and resilient farming practices.

“This grant is a significant step forward for both AEA and the regenerative agriculture movement,” said John Kempf, Founder and Chief Vision Officer of AEA. “With this funding, we can expand our ability to deliver innovative solutions to growers, empowering them to enhance soil health, reduce chemical inputs, and improve profitability.”

The USDA’s backing of this initiative underscores the importance of investing in technologies and solutions that foster sustainable farming.

As AEA continues to innovate, the grant will accelerate the adoption of regenerative agriculture, benefiting both farmers and the environment alike.
