DAR is grounded in holistic, regenerative design, which recognizes that human, ecological, and agricultural systems are all deeply interrelated. That is why DAR embraces regenerative land stewardship, cultural advocacy, education, and research simultaneously.

In its Regenerative Design branch, DAR partners with land owners to design dryland agricultural systems grounded in the principles of ecology, so that the resulting landscapes sequester carbon, retain moisture, enhance biodiversity, and produce nutritious food for humans. DAR’s unique niche is dryland agroforestry--pioneering techniques for establishing trees in arid climates with little to no irrigation as part of integrated cropping and grazing systems.
