What does soil health have to do with human health? More than most people realize. Every product has a story—and the most important part begins beneath our feet. Join Rodale Institute, Regenerative Organic Alliance, and Gaia Herbs® for a conversation that connects the full journey of regenerative organic agriculture—from rigorous scientific research to the products people trust every day.
Together, we’ll explore:
- The science and history behind soil health and its impact on food quality
- How standards and certification create accountability and transparency
- How regenerative practices show up in real-world products and supply chains
Through a balance of science and storytelling, this session will bring to life a powerful and proven idea: healthy soil produces healthy food, which supports healthy people.
Panelists will include:
- Annie Brown, VP of Development, Rodale Institute
- Dr. Andrew Smith, Chief Scientific Officer, Rodale Institute
- Ashley Walgren, Sustainability & Impact Manager
- David Green, Brand Engagement Manager, The Regenerative Organic Alliance
