Introducing ABOV

ABOV is a non-profit organization that recognizes and certifies farms using regenerative farming methods.

It aims to promote nutrient-dense soil, carbon sequestration, and sustainable resource management. All certified farms are already organic and promote additional steps to restore soil health, minimize inputs, and protect the environment.

ABOV-certified products indicate that ingredients are sourced from such farms, contributing to a healthier planet. The organization was founded by a group of farmers, scientists, and natural health experts to transform our food system and build a lasting legacy for future generations.

“By replacing chemical agriculture with regenerative organic agriculture, and artificially low-priced, low-value food with fair-priced, high nutrition, high-value food, we can resolve the paradox of the ‘high cost’ of cheap food.”
Bob QuinnFounder of KAMUT International, author of Grain by Grain
“Regenerative agriculture implies more than just sustaining something but rather an active rebuilding or regeneration of existing systems towards full health. It also implies an open-ended process of ongoing improvement and positive transformation.”
Charles MasseyFarmer and author of Call of the Reed Warbler
“The health of soil, plant, animal and man is one and indivisible.”
Sir Albert HowardEnglish botanist and author of An Agricultural Testament
“Sustainability represents just one step on the path to regeneration. Regenerative practices involve a collaborative effort between the environment and individuals to restore the planet.”
Tyler LorenzenPresident of PURIS
“…man is a part of nature, and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself.”
Rachel CarsonMarine Biologist and Conservationist

A Higher Standard

Farms certified as ABOV are making a commitment to long-term improvement. Improvement in agriculture is an iterative process: feedback helps determine what you can adjust and refine in your methodology.

Farmer walking the fields

Together we can build the future of farming

Maintaining a healthy soil microbiome is essential for sustainable agriculture practices. Soil tests are used to confirm the effectiveness of farming methodology on soil health and carbon sequestering. Participants must have soil lab testing and soil in-field testing done on their farms; lab test results should be recorded and archived for future reference. Learn more »
