Mankato, Minn. – Minnesota farming pioneer Reginaldo Haslett-Marroquin will share his model for regenerative poultry farming, insights about regenerative agriculture and his vision for food system change in a presentation at Minnesota State University, Mankato on Tuesday, April 11 from 7-8:30 p.m.

The presentation, free and open to the public, will be in Ostrander Auditorium, located in the University’s Centennial Student Union.

The following event preview is from Minnesota State Mankato’s Water Resources Center:

Haslett-Marroquin has spent a lifetime working towards food systems change and regenerative impact. According to the Ashoka Institute, he and his team have refined a global model for small-scale, poultry-powered (and planet cooling), scalable regenerative agriculture system. They have started scaling the spread of the model through a network of farmers, nonprofits, farmers’ associations, civic, public and industry leaders. This approach to business development and systems change has allowed him to create space for small farmers and large businesses alike to work in alignment with the ecology of the land. Originally from Guatemala, Haslett-Marroquin assists other farmers to build regenerative farming operations through an indigenous framework of thought: “that we are part of – not separate from – the land.”

Based in Northfield, Minnesota, Haslett-Marroquin is a recipient of the Moses Change Maker Award, a lifetime Ashoka Fellow, founder of the non-profit Regenerative Agriculture Alliance and current CEO at Tree-Range® Farms, Inc.
