CONSERVATION RANCHING
Regenerating Land, Restoring Ecosystems
It’s the implementation of regenerative practices that restore resilient grassland ecosystems full of birds, diverse plant life, living soils and clean water retention.
What is Conservation Ranching?
Why Audubon Certified?
It’s one thing to know the production of your food didn’t harm the environment. But what if your food could actually help it?
There are many definitions of regenerative agriculture. We call our version Conservation Ranching. Cattle and bison on Audubon Certified ranches are a living land management tool. Ranchers rotate their herds regularly, enhancing soil fertility, water retention, and biodiversity, while creating habitat for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.
Beef and bison products carrying the Audubon Certified seal come from animals raised on grass without antibiotics or added hormones and have never set foot on a feedlot.
Benefits of Conservation Ranching
-
Birds + Biodiversity
Regenerative grazing enhances plant diversity and productivity, which benefits birds, pollinators, and other wildlife.
-
Carbon Sequestration
Plants capture atmospheric carbon, most effectively during the regrowth process, which is maximized by periodic short-duration grazing and long periods of rest.
-
Climate Resilience
Fertile soils with deep roots hold more water and can withstand drought.
