Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC™) is a revolutionary new certification for food, fiber, and personal care ingredients. ROC farms and products meet the highest standards in the world for soil health, animal welfare, and farmworker fairness.
Regenerative Organic Certified was established in 2017 by a group of farmers, business leaders, and experts in soil health, animal welfare, and social fairness. Collectively called the Regenerative Organic Alliance, our mission is to heal a broken system, repair a damaged planet, and empower farmers and eaters to create a better future through regenerative organic farming.
By adopting regenerative organic practices on more farms around the world, we can create long-term solutions to some of the biggest issues of our time, including the climate crisis, factory farming, and fractured rural economies.

Great ideas, topics and techniques throughout this series. The ability to adapt the techniques to other regions of the world in agroforestry settings outside of Sierra Leone will be the challenge.
Great lesson. I have a small back yard fan in Newberry. My main reason of joining this group is to learn how to improve farming in Africa. Originally im from Kenya. In Africa, an average acre produces very low output due to lack.of knowledge by local farmers on how to improve the production
thanks for the work done. As I am farming in Africa I do lament the sad fact, that research, tutorials...are mostly based on temperate climates and western infrastructure. Still, one has to start from somewhere. Well done
I appreciate how easy and low-tech this method is. The downside is that it seems too qualitative to be easily replicated if don't keep 1) the implement (post or wire), 2) soil moisture (what does "adequate" mean? different for different crops/regions/soil types), or 3) downwards pressure consistent (someone who has good grip strength and a lot of weight will be able to get a post much deeper/have a different understanding of where the "point of resistance" is). Although soil moisture would be tricky, it seems like it wouldn't be too hard to keep the implement and downwards pressure consistent by using a metal bar or wooden dowel of a standard diameter and a standard weight to apply downwards pressure. It would also be useful to have different ratings for soil textures & rock content.
