Monday briefing – A rancher’s view from the front line of regenerative agriculture

This week: Rancher and UK television host, Jay Doan from Blackleg Ranch, talks with Ian Welsh about how Blackleg Ranch has practiced regenerative agriculture mimicking historic bison movements to restore prairie grasslands.

They discuss why resilience is the real language that resonates with ranchers, why neighbouring farms resist change even as their soil degrades. They highlight how generational transition, diversification, and a deep respect for the land shape the future of family agriculture in the US.

Plus: Innovation Forum’s Anamya Anurag introduces the upcoming future of food and beverage forum, taking place in May 2026 in Minneapolis.
