Key Takeaways:
- Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) and Market Gardener Institute (MGI) join forces to advance regenerative agriculture for small-scale growers
- Partnership integrates AEA’s science-based regenerative products with MGI’s world-class grower education programs
- New research trials and product lines to help market gardeners build soil health, improve yields, and enhance food quality
AEA and Market Gardener Institute Partner to Advance Regenerative Practices
Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA) and the Market Gardener Institute (MGI) have announced a new collaboration designed to equip market gardeners and small-scale growers worldwide with proven regenerative agriculture tools and knowledge. The partnership unites AEA’s industry-leading regenerative crop nutrition protocols with MGI’s globally trusted training programs, creating an alliance focused on empowering ecological farmers through science and education.
“I’m thrilled to announce a new collaboration between AEA and the Market Gardener Institute,” said Jean-Martin Fortier, Founder of MGI. “After years of conversations with John Kempf, we both feel our organizations have reached a moment where we must join forces to empower the next generation of small-scale organic growers with cutting-edge knowledge, tools, and science. Together, we’re launching new research trials that will help refine and share regenerative practices for the farms of tomorrow. The future is now.”
Research Trials and Product Innovation
The two organizations are currently conducting field trials focused on optimizing soil health and improving crop quality across diverse market garden systems. Designed to provide actionable insights, these trials will guide small-scale growers in implementing regenerative practices confidently and effectively.
AEA and MGI are also co-developing a new product line tailored specifically to market gardeners, now available for pre-sale. This suite of regenerative inputs is intended to help growers enhance soil biology, strengthen crop resilience, and produce nutrient-dense food. MGI students will receive exclusive discounts on AEA products, improving access to professional-grade regenerative solutions.
Building a Food-Secure, Regenerative Future
“Regional and local food production is absolutely critical for a food-secure future,” said John Kempf, Founder of AEA. “AEA’s regenerative toolkit will be a game-changer for market gardeners and small growers. Together with the Market Gardener Institute, we’ll revolutionize how market gardeners approach plant nutrition—bringing them pest-resistant crops and bountiful harvests of nutrient-dense, marketable produce.”
At the heart of this collaboration lies a shared vision: giving growers the tools, data, and confidence to build ecologically sound and economically viable farms. Both organizations are committed to lowering the barriers to regenerative agriculture adoption, ensuring that farmers of all sizes, from small diversified operations to large-scale enterprises, can thrive in a changing agricultural landscape.
