Charles Dowding : No Dig
The most methodical no-dig advocate on YouTube, with multi-year side-by-side trials. Single compost applications can boost belowground carbon by 50% and aboveground productivity by 40% on degraded land (Marin Carbon Project). No-till SOC concentrates in the top 10 cm where biological activity is highest.
Singing Frogs Farm
No-till market garden demonstrating intensive regenerative economics at small scale. Regen farms average 60% higher profitability after year six (BCG 2023), with transition costs of 2,000-5,000 EUR/ha and ~9-year payback in European contexts (Deloitte 2023). A proof case for the economics this kit covers.
The Gr0ve
Understanding Regen Ag : The Gr0ve Blog Series
The Gr0ve's deep-dive series on regenerative agriculture practices, soil science, and the transition from conventional farming.
The Gr0ve
Regenerative Systems Wallpaper Collection
Desktop and mobile wallpapers celebrating regenerative agriculture, soil cross-sections, root networks, and mycelium art.
FAOSTAT
FAO's flagship statistical platform. Global time series on food security, production, trade, land, inputs and agrifood emissions for 245+ countries dating back to 1961. FAOSTAT data underpins the IPCC's finding that agriculture alone can mitigate 4.1 GtCO2-eq/yr at under 100 USD/tCO2-eq, with soil carbon sequestration adding 2-5 GtCO2/yr potential. The foundation for most quantitative work in agriculture and food policy.
Global Forest Watch
Free interactive forest monitoring combining satellite imagery and GLAD deforestation alerts. Weekly tropical updates at 30x30m resolution with alert subscriptions, data download, and concession overlays. Agroforestry conversion of degraded lands could assimilate 26.6 Gt CO2e by 2050, and Costa Rica's tracked reforestation from 21% to 57% forest cover shows what's possible when PES programs deploy at scale. Used by 4M+ people.
iNaturalist
Global biodiversity observation platform. 200M+ observations from 3.3M observers feeding into GBIF and peer-reviewed research. App suggests species IDs from photos. Run a City Nature Challenge, monitor farm biodiversity, or document restoration progress.
Permies.com
Long-running permaculture forum with 80+ subforums covering soil, composting, community, income and everything in between. 16,000+ members. High signal for practical advice. Heavy moderation keeps quality up but can feel strict. The go-to forum for homesteaders.
EIT Food: A Farmer's Guide to Regenerative Agriculture
6-7 hour self-paced course on regenerative principles, soil and biodiversity benefits, climate resilience and policy context. Transition costs run 2,000-5,000 EUR/ha with ~9-year payback (5 with incentives), but regen farms average 60% higher profitability after year six (BCG 2023). EU CAP 2023-2027 now recognizes agroforestry for direct payments. Practical and targeted specifically at farmers transitioning from conventional.
