Rodale Institute
LVB Staff//April 21, 2025//
Rodale Institute is the birthplace of the modern organic movement and among the world’s most prestigious agricultural research and education nonprofits, advancing regenerative organic farming for over 70 years. Rodale Institute was founded in 1947 by J.I. Rodale to develop and promote natural methods of rebuilding soil fertility and emphasizing the connection between soil health and healthy food.
“With a mission to advance research and education in organic agriculture, our work proves regenerative organic farming nourishes people and protects the planet,” the company stated. “The Institute fills the void of many American land-grant institutions and invests in a holistic approach to improve public health and environmental outcomes.”
To stay competitive, the company prioritizes research as a means of innovation in the field. As CEO, Jeff Tkach oversees the company in these efforts.
“The Rodale Institute, under Tkach’s leadership, is paving the way for a future that can accelerate its impact to transition one million acres of farmland to regenerative organic practices by 2035,” the company said. “By revolutionizing farming, the Institute holds the power to fix what’s broken in our food system.”
