California’s Central Valley produces 25% of the nation’s food using less than 1% of U.S. farmland. Regenerative agriculture is a farming innovation that focuses on soil carbon, health and water efficiency, but there is limited understanding of the process to transition to regenerative agriculture. We will conduct semi-structured interviews to understand and define regenerative agriculture. Secondly we will quantify the net water use from conventional and regenerative production across several staple crops in the San Joaquin Valley.
