Ancient Nutrition Commits to Sustainability & Regenerative Agriculture

Ancient Nutrition Commits to Sustainability & Regenerative Agriculture

by Angela Sabarese | April 19, 2021

Ancient Nutrition has announced its commitments to sustainability and regenerative agriculture through initiation of the R.A.N.C.H. Project, a first-of-its-kind solution aimed at building topsoil, reducing waste and sequestering carbon dioxide, while supporting the company’s mission to transform the health of every individual on the planet with history’s most powerful superfoods. R.A.N.C.H. stands for Ancient Nutrition’s commitment pillars: Regenerative Agriculture, Nutrition & Climate Health.

The following are Ancient Nutrition’s Sustainability Commitments By 2024:

1. Be carbon negative through regenerative agriculture initiatives and supporting offsets

2. Plant 1 million superfood-bearing perennial trees, bushes, vines and shrubs; known as Million Member Regenerative Food Forest

3. Reduce company produced plastic and waste by 25 percent while transitioning to more sustainable packaging and marketing material solutions

4. Launch a major seed saving initiative to future-proof regenerative farming by collecting and banking seeds from every harvest from the 100+ species Heirloom, Native and Exotic Superfood Farm, as well as collecting food waste and seeds from local organizations diverting them from the landfill

5. Support world-changing non-profit organization Mully Children’s Family in order to help end poverty, hunger, homelessness and human trafficking while planting trees to fight climate change

As a company, Ancient Nutrition sources many of its ingredients from organic farms, including ingredients from the company’s new headquarters located at The Center for Regenerative Agriculture & Sustainability, as well as the 4,000-acre Beyond Organic Ranch and Heal The Planet Farm, owned and operated for the past 12 years by Ancient Nutrition Co-Founders Jordan Rubin and Dr. Josh Axe.

Ancient Nutrition’s New Headquarters, The Center for Regenerative Agriculture & Sustainability:

• 110-acre farm in Middle Tennessee

• Location of the Million Member Regenerative Food Forest initiative

• Currently growing 100+ plant varieties, focused on bio-diversity & native pollinators

• Home to ducks, chickens, guinea fowl, bees, horses, cows, sheep and water buffalo

• Located on top of a natural aquifer that provides pristine water

• The farm is proudly certified organic and non-GMO

• Not located near any conventional farm field to help avoid run-off and spray drift

• Partnered with Cornell University to test soil three times a year

• Furniture, fixtures and buildings around the farm are locally and sustainably made using local Amish Artisans, thus lowering the transportation carbon footprint
