One Size Fits None: A Farm Girl’s Search for the Promise of Regenerative Agriculture
“Sustainable” has long been the rallying cry of agricultural progressives. Given that much of our nation’s farm and ranch land is already degraded, however, sustainable agriculture often means maintaining a less-than-ideal status quo. In her debut nonfiction book, "One Size Fits None: A Farm Girl’s Search for the Promise of Regenerative Agriculture," Stephanie Anderson argues that in order to provide nutrient-rich food and fight climate change, we need to move beyond sustainable to regenerative agriculture, a practice that is highly tailored to local environments and renews resources.
In this talk, Anderson will discuss the genesis of "One Size Fits None" and how she came to write about diverse farmers from across the United States: a South Dakota bison rancher who provides an alternative to the industrial feedlot; an organic vegetable farmer in Florida who harvests microgreens; a New Mexico super-small farmer who revitalizes communities; and a North Dakota midsize farmer who combines livestock and grain farming to convert farmland back to native prairie. The use of these nontraditional agricultural techniques reveal how varied operations can give back to the earth rather than degrade it.
Anderson’s talk will resonate with anyone concerned about the future of food and agriculture in America. The presentation will include a reading from "One Size Fits None" and a book signing will follow.
