Established in 2009, the CSC tests how regenerative management practices affect whole-system sustainability at a commercially realistic scale.
The CSC compares a regenerative system featuring reduced tillage, organic amendments, legume-based cover cropping, threshold pest monitoring, targeted crop protection, and nutrient budgeting with conventional practices, aiming to maintain yields while enhancing soil health, biodiversity, and resilience.
Learn more about the CSC’s objectives and findings in the Toolbox or Resources sections.
