EXCERPTED<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthony Myint vividly recalls the moment he encountered the idea that would shift his life\u2019s path. In 2014, the San Francisco chef and his wife and business partner, Karen Leibowitz, visited California carbon ranching pioneer John Wick at Nicasio Native Grass Ranch in Marin County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe had a bunch of whiteboards out and he was just wrapping up a talk with some U.N. people,\u201d Myint recalls. Wick had been working on the Marin Carbon Project<\/a>, the now well-known collaboration with U.C. Berkley scientist Wendee Silver that examined whether or not several \u201ccarbon farming\u201d practices\u2014such as managed grazing and adding a thin layer of compost to the land\u2014could in fact pull greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wick talked about the difference between durable carbon\u2014deposited and locked into the ground for up to centuries by plant roots and decaying and dead microorganisms\u2014and carbon that routinely circulates from above to below ground. Hearing of the work the couple was doing helping restaurants offset their greenhouse gas emissions, Myint recalls, Wick \u201ctold us we weren\u2019t thinking big enough.\u201d Atmospheric carbon wasn\u2019t just something to avoid emitting, or to pay others to scrub from one\u2019s environmental footprint, Myint and Leibowitz now understood: farming itself could regenerate the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That day, Myint and Leibowitz joined a much larger movement to bring regenerative agriculture to the mainstream and help farmers, chefs, and eaters understand the value of healthy soil. \u201cWe\u2019re in the midst of a massive cultural change in response to global warming, and farming and healthy soil are probably the most practical and biggest solutions we have,\u201d says Myint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myint and Leibowitz have spent the last five years figuring out how to help the competitive, thin-margin, high-burnout world of creative chefs, restaurants, and their fickle diners play a role in regenerative agriculture. Their first effort was the nonprofit Zero Foodprint<\/a>, which helped restaurants offset their greenhouse gas emissions. Their recently shuttered restaurant, The Perennial, sought to serve food produced regeneratively<\/a> and educate consumers about the role food plays in absorbing carbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe assumed people would be excited about optimistic solutions, and would line up for the Tesla of food,\u201d says Myint. But the public wasn\u2019t ready. They learned that \u201cwe couldn\u2019t rely on one consumer, one chef at a time to create system change.\u201d They needed, as Wick encouraged them, to think bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, under their nonprofit The Perennial Farming Initiative<\/a> (PFI), Myint and Leibowitz have started laying the groundwork for a program, Restore California<\/a>. Participating restaurants add an optional \u201c1 percent for healthy soil\u201d surcharge to customer tabs. PFI has already signed 30 restaurants up for the Restore California surcharge; if 1 percent of the state\u2019s restaurants follow suit, the group estimates it could generate $10 million per year in funding for healthy soils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project is a collaboration between the California Air Resources Board<\/a> (CARB), the California Department of Food and Agriculture, and PFI; when it is fully up and running, proceeds will go directly to farms and ranches working to improve soil health as a complement to the state\u2019s Healthy Soils Program<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
