About  [Edit]

The Rodale Institute works with people worldwide to achieve a regenerative food system that renews and improves environmental and human health.


One Motto
"Healthy Soil = Healthy Food = Healthy People®"

Seven Goals
1.] Help people rediscover that the food they eat is a primary tool in achieving optimum health and avoiding illness and disease.

2.] Increase public awareness that healthy food can only be obtained from healthy soil.

3.] Reach out to young people and become partners with them in reshaping public attitudes.

4.] Make soil quality as important to the public as air and water quality.

5.] Encourage more people to grow, sell, buy, and eat organic food.

6.] Include regenerative farmers, food companies, and food stores on the same team as medical and other health-care professionals.

7.] Respect and interpret that the mind and soul require nourishment as part of total human health and a regenerative way of life, for current and future generations.


Undergirding these objectives and providing the foundational blueprint for our work are the following goals of the Soil andHealth Foundation, established in 1947, forerunner of The Rodale Institute:

• Promote and encourage the use of humus and other organic matter to maintain and improve soil fertility, prevent soil erosion, and improve human health.

• Conduct and encourage scientific research, teaching, training, and educating the public on soil, foods, the health of man, and their reaction to each other.

• Study the effects of organic and artificial fertilizers on soil, plants, and man.

• To accomplish the forgoing purposes, establish, maintain, and operate farms, schools, laboratories, experimental stations, publishing houses and all other appropriate agencies, means, and instruments.

The Rodale Institute®, a global leader in regenerative agriculture, is devoted to innovative agriculture research, outreach and training through The New Farm® programs. The Institute works with people worldwide to achieve a regenerative food system that renews and improves environmental and human health, working with the philosophy that "Healthy Soil = Healthy Food = Healthy People ®.”

The Institute’s web site, www.NewFarm.org reaches a global community of food producers to exchange valuable “farmer-to-farmer know-how.” NewFarm.org presents compelling success stories with expert resources for crop and livestock production, direct marketing, local food systems, policy campaigns and community-building collaborations.
