I'm dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs who are committed to creating a regenerative future. I believe in the power of purpose-driven businesses to positively impact society and the environment.

What a week at RFSI! As I sit on a plane flying over hundreds of irrigated farms below, I can't help but think of the many champions who have dedicated years of commitment to the regenerative movement. Celebrating the Early Champions of Regenerative Agriculture 🌱 In the regenerative food system transition, a few visionary individuals stand out as the early pioneers who paved the way for the regenerative agriculture movement we know today. One name shines particularly bright among these trailblazers: Tim Crosby. Tim Crosby is a true champion, cheerleader, risk-taker, and devoted agent of change in the regenerative agriculture community. His unwavering commitment to promoting regenerative practices has inspired countless others to follow in his footsteps. As an early adopter of regenerative techniques, Tim fearlessly challenged conventional wisdom and demonstrated the viability of a more holistic approach to agriculture. He broke through the waves of skepticism and resistance, creating a wake of positive change that continues to ripple across the farming landscape. Tim's infectious enthusiasm and tireless advocacy have rallied farmers, researchers, funders, and consumers around the cause of regenerative agriculture. His willingness to take risks and experiment with innovative methods has pushed the boundaries of what's possible. Today, as regenerative agriculture gains momentum and mainstream acceptance, it's essential to recognize and celebrate the early champions like Tim Crosby, who had the courage and vision to lead the way. Their legacy lives on in the thriving regenerative farming community and the countless acres of land that are now being stewarded with a focus on soil health, biodiversity, and resilience. Let's take a moment to express our gratitude for Tim Crosby and all the other early pioneers of regenerative agriculture. Their dedication and hard work have laid the foundation for a more sustainable and vibrant future. 🙏 #RegenerativeAgriculture #SustainableFarming #AgriculturePioneers #SoilHealth #Gratitude

Indeed! Tim Crosby, your courage to see & create food systems change was pivotal while on my MBA journey over a decade ago & that ripple of influence has continued through to my career path today: heartfelt gratitude!

David, wow! Thank you so much and to all who have created the stories of what is possible and needed. It has been a fun ride, one gaining momentum, especially with Rex Raimond and the crew at TIFS. Look forward to what comes next. Onward!
