The NoRegrets Initiative is an integrated relationship-centered approach to land and asset management that uses a variety of capital – human, natural, investment, and philanthropic – to affect change in our agricultural food system.

Investment in land stewards is critical to creating resiliency and abundance, and keeping people and animals on the land. Through Cienega Capital, investment capital is used to support the individuals who are most deeply in relationship with land–farmers, ranchers and practitioners--and the businesses they own. 

By way of the Globetrotter Foundation, grants work to catalyze the greater ecosystem of soil health by supporting the non-profits that work with the agricultural community to test new methods of cultivation, train a new generation of agrarians, address the issue of diversity in land access, and promote healthy, locally-sourced food. The NoRegrets Initiative portfolio is dynamic and reflective of the beauty, complexity, and diversity of the natural world. 

The NoRegrets’ ecological base is Paicines Ranch, a diverse landscape that is managed in partnership with nature and livestock to produce pastured-raised meat and organic wine grapes. Activating social capital, the Paicines Ranch Learning Center offers a place to re-establish humanity’s deep reverence for the natural world by educating, inspiring and connecting people with new ideas and networks that advance soil health.
