Developed by the Rodale Institute--well-known for its role in organic agriculture--the New Farm website works "to inform, encourage, equip and inspire farmers with the support they need to take the important transition steps toward regenerative agriculture." With this mission in mind, the New Farm site provides farmers and others with a bounty of online resources, information, and success stories. The site features sections that address news and research, organic certification, raising hogs, political activism, and more. One notable section of the site is the Farm Locator which provides a searchable Database of Farms, and allows farmers to add a free Web page featuring their farm. Sections of the website, including the Training Center, are still being developed, and New Farm encourages people to send in ideas and suggestions regarding site content such as topics for online courses. This has been added to Agriculture Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
