In 2023, RAFI launched Living Roots®, a new print magazine created for small- to mid-scale farmers and their advocates. Living Roots fills a special niche by bringing forward the voices and experiences of farmers and their communities — stories often missing from broader agricultural conversations.

Farming is a challenging and risky business, and through Living Roots, RAFI offers a deeper look at the people, land, and relationships that sustain our food and our future. You’ll find practical how-to stories, spotlights on female farmers or young farmers, or stories about what it’s like to farm as part of a cooperative. Living Roots also seeks to share information on running a farming business, including working with the USDA, loans and credit, recordkeeping, disaster preparedness, and more, to help farmers make informed decisions.
