Our Vision

A future where all farmers and ranchers produce ecosystem services from nature-based solutions alongside food and fibre to help solve the crises of biodiversity loss and climate change.​ 

Investing in Nature

As the largest single group of landowners in North America, agricultural producers are in a unique position to provide solutions to some of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, including biodiversity loss and climate change.

ALUS is helping communities across North America in addressing global environmental problems with local solutions. Invest in nature-based projects that produce tangible, measurable results, support local communities and create positive enviro-economic and social change.

It takes a village...

They say it takes a village to raise a child.

At ALUS, we know it takes a community and a network of farmers and ranchers to create rural resilience and create, restore and enhance new acres of nature on agricultural lands to respond to local environmental challenges.

This is why ALUS is community-developed and farmer-delivered.

Growing Happiness and Biodiversity

Marcus & Sarah Riedner foster happiness, agriculture and ecosystems at their farm, Happiness by the Acre.

The Riedner family’s achievements are not to be understated. Based on soil sampling, the Riedners have found that organic matter across the farm, including in the ALUS protected areas, has improved dramatically.

How to Make Your Farm Work Better

Chris and Vivian Crump are always looking to make their farm work better, which led them on a journey to become environmental stewards.

To make their operation as effective as it could be, Chris and Vivian needed solutions to stop their topsoil washing away, improve the pastureland their cattle were on and keep manure from washing into the local watercourse.
