Nature’s Path has announced its partnership with Canadian Organic Growers (COG) to debut the “Regenerative Organic Oats” (ROO) program.
Launched on Earth Day 2022, the Regenerative Organic Oats program will allocate $100,000 annually to support a network of organic farmers through the process of achieving Regenerative Organic Certification (ROC). Through this initiative, Nature’s Path aims to amplify regenerative organic practices through education and advocacy, advance the development of soil carbon sequestration methods and help build an agricultural system that empowers farmers and consumers while mitigating climate change.
“We are excited about this partnership as it gives us an opportunity to measure the carbon impacts of Regenerative Organic farming practices while supporting farmers who are on the front line of helping address climate change through their practices”, says Jyoti Stephens, VP of mission and strategy. “By looking at soil carbon changes over time, we can effectively track the rate at how Regenerative Organic Farming can heal the planet.”
The Regenerative Organic Oats Program aims to support four farms annually in this process by offering a series of cutting-edge programs, testing and community building initiatives.
