Mandy Magill

Mandy Magill

Mandy was born and raised in small-town Colorado and is a Regenerative Educator/Consultant/Activator. With a degree in Sociology and Environmental Affairs from Colorado State University, Mandy focuses on raising public awareness regarding the importance of relocalizing food, product and service systems while also ensuring those systems are regenerative, holistic, and based in relationships with one another and with Nature. With a decade of experience working in the burgeoning regenerative transition, she has done numerous educational presentations, has presented on panels and has also worked with regenerative farmers and ranchers to get their stories out to the public. She connects the dots for people as to how regenerative, interconnected, hyperlocal, Nature-inspired systems can reverse climate change, heal the oceans, and positively impact biodiversity and human health, mainly through regenerating soil and food.

Mandy’s heart, soul and extreme passion for regeneration are embodied in the Earth Regeneration Alliance (ERA). At the core of ERA is a purpose trust, and the purpose of the trust is to regenerate the planet via guiding money (energy) into closed-loop economics and relocalized collaborations focused on implementing on-the-ground regeneration. Intent on educating and galvanizing the public, introducing and guiding community-informed regenerative transition legislation, supporting Biological Fire Mitigation initiatives and creating commUNITY and relationships around the many ways to regenerate Planet Earth, she has absolutely no doubt that humanity can come together, re-partner with Nature, and heal the Earth.

Other Highlights/Projects:
Trained in Holistic Management (Savory Institute)
Good Business Colorado Legislative Rock Star Award 2024 (for her work on the local/regenerative food sourcing tax credit bill – in process)
Creation of regenerative agriculture education panels (initial installation at the James Ranch in Durango, CO) – available for wide-spread adoption in 2026

Mandy's favorite book is Ishmael by Daniel Quinn.
