WHAT WE DO
ReGenerate Illinois is made up of a Leadership Council, Action Circles, Learning Communities, and a larger, inclusive Network.
THE NETWORK
The Network is a term used within ReGenerate Illinois to describe a large, expansive network of anyone interested in learning more about supporting a regenerative food and farming system in Illinois.
​
By participating in the Network, partners gain access to:
-
An informed resource about regenerative food and farming systems, including shared information and resources
-
A community of like-minded individuals
-
Networking and engagement opportunities and events
-
Opportunities to join Action Circles, Learning Communities, and the Leadership Council

LEARNING COMMUNITIES
Learning communities are community-led groups that exist across Illinois' food and farming system.
At this time, ReGenerate Illinois currently hosts one Learning Community, the IDEA Farm Network (IFN). As our network grows, ReGenerate Illinois envisions hosting many Learning Communities for stakeholders within the Illinois regenerative food and farming system. These could be communities of dieticians committed to soil health, consumers committed to seasonal cuisine, or a variety of other purposes.
To join the IDEA Farm Network, sign up for the Google Listserv through their contact form.
​
You can also check out some of the IDEA Farm Network's recent events on their YouTube channel.
LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
The Leadership Council is a leadership group composed of council members representative of the larger Network, that serves as the main decision making body of ReGenerate Illinois. Council members will be individuals or representatives from organizations, businesses, or other affiliations. The Leadership Council sets the overall direction, goals, and annual action plan; decides patters of policy; determines when to use the RI brand; creates or approves campaign plans; and tracks strategy outcomes.

Action circles are project-based collaborative groups convened to carry out the purpose of the Network.
