From Farm to Table: Building a Regenerative Agriculture Revolution
Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin



"Farming While a Revolutionary" may well be the title of a book that we need to collectively write in the years ahead, as a regenerative agricultural revolution is past overdue. To achieve the needed changes in the food system, we must rethink how we are individually and collectively approaching the challenges we face as we attempt to change the agriculture sector from degenerative to regenerative. Where we depart from and our final destination are two key aspects to define in order to succeed at creating the necessary change at the needed scale.

This session will challenge commonly accepted assumptions as to what represents an actual solution in the era of mass communications, social media and whitewashing. There is something subtle, subversive and powerful hidden right under our feet, in the air, the water and all around us – a power, when unleashed, that can render large sectors of the industrial agriculture complex unnecessary and obsolete. Do we understand what it means to build an agricultural revolution? Are we interested and willing to do what it takes?

Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin

Reginaldo is the principal architect of an innovative poultry-centered regenerative agriculture model that is at the heart of the Main Street Project, where he is Chief Strategy Officer. His focus is on the development of multi-level strategies for building regenerative food and agriculture systems that deliver social, economic and ecological benefits. He leads Main Street’s engineering and design work and currently oversees the implementation of restorative blueprints for communities in the US, Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras.
As co-founder of the newly-established Regenerative Agriculture Alliance, Reginaldo’s approach to regenerative agriculture involves a biodiverse system of symbiotically connected livestock and perennials, a model whose goals include the regeneration of farmland, the rebuilding of local food systems and creating opportunities for young and immigrant farmers. A native of Guatemala, Reginaldo began working on economic development projects with indigenous Guatemalan communities in 1988, and was a founding member of the Fair Trade Federation in 1994. Last year, he was awarded one of the prestigious lifetime Ashoka Fellowships for his groundbreaking work in the field of regenerative food and agriculture engineering.
Reginaldo is the author of the bestselling book In The Shadow of Green Man: My Journey from Poverty and Hunger to Food Security and Hope, available at https://mainstreetproject.org/in-the-shadow-of-green-man/
