MASTERS M.A.

Resurrection Agriculture

In Partnership with Harmony Tree Farms — The World Leaders in Regenerative Agriculture

Overview.

The Master of Regenerative Agriculture (M.R.A.) is a graduate degree for spiritual farmers, ecological reformers, and agrarian innovators called to heal the relationship between humanity and the land.

This is not a permaculture certificate, and it is not an academic exercise in environmentalism. It is a rigorous, cross-disciplinary formation in living soil, ecological economics, seed sovereignty, and the theology of land restoration.

Students study side-by-side with guest lecturers, field scientists, and regenerative pioneers from across the world. From soil microbiology to agroforestry, from bioenergetic farming to Levitical land ethics, the M.R.A. brings together the best of modern agricultural science and biblical stewardship.

The central challenge of the program? Grow every bite of your food for a full 90-day period from land you steward—no matter the scale.
