The Quivira Coalition

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE Ranchers grazing livestock on rangeland and pastures manage 790 million acres of working lands in the US, 41 percent of all US lands, excluding Alaska. These rangelands, pastures, and forests constitute our best tool for maintaining healthy watersheds, fostering biodiversity, and sequestering carbon. The ranchers and farmers who tend working lands in the future—and how knowledge of them and strategies for their stewardship are shared and implemented—will have an enormous impact on the resilience of our environment, economies, and climate. Traditionally, ranchers and farmers have learned their vocations through family. Today, there are very few pathways for individuals who do not grow up on ranches and farms to enter careers in agriculture. There are also not many ways for seasoned agrarians to share their knowledge and teach their craft. According to the 2017 US Agricultural Census, the average age of US ranchers and farmers is 58. To ensure that we have skilled land stewards prepared to tend critical land and water resources and to produce healthy food, we must increase the quality and quantity of hands-on education provided by skilled mentors in reg.
