The food on your plate depends on ecosystems most of us never see: the insects that pollinate crops, the soil that holds water, the habitat that keeps it all in balance. Over the past two centuries, much of that has been lost. The Wild Grid is a vision for what comes next. It is the outcome of Wilding, a regenerative agriculture framework we have been sharing over the past couple of weeks. This map is an interpretation of what 65 million acres of thriving biodiversity corridors woven through US agricultural landscapes could look like in 50 years. Living infrastructure threaded through public and private land, powerline rights-of-way, river corridors, and remnant habitats. Restoring the clean water, healthy soil, and biodiversity that food production depends on. Bob's Red Mill is investing in the early phase of this vision alongside Mad Agriculture, Whole Foods Market and 20 other food and beverage companies. 1,000 acres in Wisconsin's Driftless Region over the next three years to build the foundation for the Wild Grid. To understand the science behind how Wilding works, the White Paper is the place to start. https://lnkd.in/ee4tWA-Z #WeAreWilding #RegenerativeFarming
