Accelerating Appalachia (ACAP) is a pioneering organization dedicated to advancing regenerative agriculture through innovative business accelerators. With a focus on fostering resilient communities and local economies in the Central/Southern Appalachian region, ACAP works directly with producers affected by job losses in traditional industries such as mining and textiles. The organization aims to build a robust agricultural economy that enhances the health and prosperity of communities in the rural Southeast. In 2023, ACAP launched the Building Appalachian Agricultural Resilience (BAAR) program, which incentivizes farmers to adopt regenerative practices through financial support and training. ACAP is recognized as a global leader in developing producer pipelines for regenerative commodities, emphasizing the importance of sustainable agricultural practices.
