Innovating Strategies for Global Change: Regenerating Land. Empowering People. Ending Homelessness.

Discover how you may benefit or collaborate with us.

A bold new initiative to empower homeless individuals and those in poverty by providing affordable housing, clean water, and training in regenerative agriculture.

The Global Bridge Foundation Projects

The Global Bridge Foundation (TGBF) is currently engaged in three dynamic, scalable projects in New York, Georgia, and California aimed at advancing regenerative agriculture (RA) and regenerative ranching (RR) across the United States. These initiatives are developed in collaboration with leading experts such as Gabe Brown, the Soil Academy, Ray Archuleta, a certified professional soil scientist, and Klass Marten, a farmer with 30 years of experience who has been a leading advocate for sustainable agriculture. Through Klass’ work with numerous national organizations and advisory committees, he has played a pivotal role in advancing the adoption of regenerative farming practices.

TGBF’s projects are designed to foster sustainable practices in diverse settings, including homeless programs, existing RA farms and ranches, and elementary schools.

Project 1

New York Regenerative Agriculture Irrigation Network

In New York, TGBF is supporting both grant writing and partial engineering costs for an innovative irrigation project. Key collaborators include grant writer Juan Whiting, engineer James Bastille, and RA pioneer Klaas Martens. The project aims to utilize water from Lake Seneca and an adjacent power plant to create a vast network of irrigation pipes beneath a railroad, serving 130 farms practicing or transitioning to RA under Martens’ guidance. This initiative represents the first irrigation district of its kind in New York and possibly the eastern United States. Designed for future scalability, it serves as a model that can be replicated nationwide to promote healthy, sustainable food production while addressing climate change through carbon sequestration—an approach endorsed by the Paris Peace Accord.

Project 2

Regenerative Ranching White Oak Pastures, Georgia

 In Georgia, TGBF collaborates with White Oak Pastures, a nationally recognized leader in Regenerative Ranching, headed by Will Harris and Jenni Harris. This project emphasizes humane livestock management, where animals graze on nutrient-rich grasses and are processed individually in a compassionate environment; putting an end to the tortuous conditions of manslaughter of livestock that is mostly routine in our country. This method enhances both animal welfare and meat quality. TGBF funds grant writing efforts and has facilitated partnerships with modular housing experts to develop a thriving community for ranch workers, aiming to uplift them from poverty and foster a sustainable, supportive living environment. This model has the potential to be scaled nationwide, promoting both ethical agricultural practices and community development.

Project 3

Regenerative Ranching with the U.S. Military, California

 TGBF has partnered with the U.S. Army to expand RR practices at military installations, starting in Monterey, California. Led by Major Eric Czaja and Major Ian McAlpine, the initiative has secured a $1 million grant, with TGBF funding additional grant writing to support future expansions such as at the Paso Robles base and is designed to extend across the military’s 15 million acres of land in the U.S. Already, the Marine Corps is considering using this same model at its bases which will further broaden the vision. An additional inspiring aspect is that all the employees will be U.S. veterans.This project exemplifies how the military can demonstrate environmental stewardship and innovative land use practices, reflecting the inspirational mission of TGBF.

Looking Ahead

While TGBF is currently focused on these three transformative projects, we remain committed to supporting existing programs nationwide. At this time, we are not seeking new initiatives, as our resources are dedicated to maximizing the impact of our current efforts. We believe these projects will serve as catalytic models, inspiring broader adoption of regenerative practices and contributing to a sustainable future in the United States and beyond.

In recent years, TGBF has extended the following offer to individuals, farmers, and foundations seeking to enhance their ability to maximize the potential of regenerative practices. The foundation aims to support a community of workers living in healthy housing, fostering a sense of connection, peace, and helping them rise out of poverty. Below is the brief attachment sent to hundreds of regenerative projects nationwide, outlining the areas where TGBF is offering support.

Awareness That Heals is a universal psychology supporting global change.

Awareness That Heals

Awareness That Heals is a program of The Global Bridge Foundation and has its own dedicated website with a membership community. This platform offers an alternative approach that integrates psychology and spirituality in a unique and meaningful way.

At its core, the program establishes a clear connection between our individual emotions and the essential needs that foster both self-compassion and compassion for others. The site takes that as a starting point and guides you to more deeply make this connection in your life.

Beyond personal growth, the second half of the membership expands these insights into broader societal issues, including regenerative agriculture, homelessness, low-income housing, immigration, international cooperation, politics, and developing a healthier relationship with money, power, and wealth—among many other vital topics.

A Rare View

“At this moment in our nation’s political history, we could all use a little healing. While we face existential threats on all sides, we must be mindful of how we’re impacted, and of how we might work through that to achieve a better world for ourselves and our community.”

Our Podcasts

The Global Bridge Foundation produces two different podcasts that address some of the most challenging issues of our time—challenges that exist both within and without of ourselves.

The Missing Conversation

We explore innovative strategies that tackle global challenges, such as homelessness, immigration, and climate change. We also explore the link between these issues and the role of individual psychology in addressing and mitigating these pressing concerns.
