An immersive, on-farm course for people building the future of food, farming, and human health.
CLIMATE FARM SCHOOL
Spend a week living and learning on a working farm. Study climate and food systems alongside farmers, clinicians, researchers, and policy leaders. Share meals, build community, and leave with the tools and clarity to do this work in the real world.
We Are Building a Better Food System
“My experience at Climate Farm School was energizing, eye-opening, & fundamentally reshaped how I think about food systems.”

We bring together professionals, students, and changemakers working at the intersection of food, climate, and health.
This is not a conference. It’s not a traditional classroom. It’s an embodied, systems-level education grounded in real farms, real food, and real relationships.
Participants live on-site, learn directly from farmers and field experts, and explore how regenerative agriculture can restore soil, support human health, and strengthen communities.

Climate instability, soil degradation, and chronic disease are deeply interconnected. Addressing them requires more than technical solutions — it requires systems thinking, collaboration, and practical, place-based knowledge.
Climate Farm School exists to equip people with the understanding and tools to build food systems that regenerate land, nourish communities, and strengthen resilience in a changing climate.
