Soil Health Academy - Internship Program
The Soil Health Academy is seeking a dynamic leader who wants to transition from active military service to a regenerative ranching operation. This exciting opportunity combines hands-on experience in regenerative grazing and military land management. The program is in collaboration with the U.S. Army’s first regenerative grazing initiative at Camp San Luis Obispo, CA. Participants will engage with techniques in adaptive multi-paddock (AMP) grazing, soil health management, and biodiversity restoration, that ultimately lead to military training land resilience.
The Soil Health Academy (SHA) offers a 60-180 day program for service members transitioning from active duty to regenerative ranching. This immersive opportunity provides hands-on training in regenerative grazing and land restoration, preparing participants to lead in agriculture's future. Based at the Regenerative Grazing Open Air Lab (R-GOAL) at Camp San Luis Obispo, CA, the program combines traditional learning with hands on practical experience. Participants will receive training in essential skills, including fencing, water system setup, livestock movement, and solar power setup. They will learn pasture management, cattle observation, and metrics collection to monitor soil health and livestock performance. Formal regenerative agriculture training will cover soil health, environmental impacts, and profitability, with expert guest lecturers. Participants will also be trained in stockmanship, supplement management, and enterprise analysis. Participants may help with hosting and briefing senior officials and contribute to data management and progress reporting. This position offers a unique opportunity to gain experience at the intersection of regenerative agriculture and military land management.For an overview of the program, watch this short documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8g6iwmjSLUThis article highlights how regenerative grazing intersects with national security: https://www.noble.org/legacy/2025-fall/grazing-for-national-security/
