About Mad Agriculture:

• Mission: A Colorado-based non-profit dedicated to helping farmers transition to and thrive in regenerative organic agriculture.
• Support Framework: Offers financial (Mad Capital), strategic (Mad Lands), connective (Mad Markets), and creative (Mad Media) support to farmers.

Project Goals

1. Nutritional Analysis:
   • Investigate the relationship between soil health and the nutrient density of oats by measuring soil carbon, health, and biodiversity.
2. Carbon Impact:
   • Assess how regenerative practices affect carbon levels in soil, focusing on total soil carbon, water-extractable carbon, and active (POx) carbon.
3. Soil Health Mapping:
   • Create soil health maps to help farmers make informed decisions about planting and management based on soil variations.
4. Ecosystem Assessment:
   • Examine habitats within and around oat fields to understand their role in supporting wildlife and beneficial insects.
5. Crop Diversity:
   • Explore what additional crops farmers are growing to support resilience, soil health, and diverse income streams.
6. Regenerative Farming Integration:
   • Evaluate how planting oats fits into a broader regenerative system, assessing practices like fertilizer use, livestock integration, water management, and cover cropping.

Alignment with Values

• Healing Power of Food: Emphasizes the connection between farm health and food quality.
