In mid-2020, the Wallace Center – through its Pasture Project initiative – began a conversation with farmers, agriculture educators, technical service providers, and business owners in the Blue River watershed of southern Indiana. This conversation centered on the potential to expand regenerative grazing in the watershed through a better understanding and increased support for beef value chains dedicated to making pastures under regenerative management more profitable.
Through a combination of data analysis and stakeholder engagement, the Wallace Center developed this preliminary value-chain assessment with the generous support of the Walton Family Foundation and the expertise of numerous Blue River grazing experts.
