Regenerative Farm Management

We partner with farmers to transform their operations from extractive to regenerative by implementing solutions such as adaptive grazing, silvopasture, agroforestry, and more. We actively manage the transition from soil-depleting practices such as monocropping to those that build soil health, restore biodiversity, and sink carbon—while delivering higher profits and long-term property value.

Why Clients Trust 5th World

The [5th World] folks that we worked with onsite were fantastic. I needed people who really understood what we’re doing, why we’re doing A before B, and how it all works together. Highly, highly knowledgeable and personable staff.

Tayla Sloan

Manager at Foresters Financial, on the McCauley Community Orchard Project, Edmonton, Alberta

We have benefited from [the solutions] greatly. We definitely had another great harvest this year. I would say the yield improves every year. It’s not a farm, but it’s the closest we could get to making sure the kids are connected to food and what they’re eating, and experiencing that in real-time. It improves their food habits—they appreciate good food so much more.

Leane Tardif

Calgary, Alberta

The greenhouse is a turning point that’s opening up a new chapter in my life journey. It started as a practical pursuit and has evolved into the basis of how I spend time with my family and the discovery of my life’s calling: To learn more about regeneration and share its endless possibilities with others.

Dave Needham

British Columbia, South of Kamloops

Just seeing our kids—how they enjoy the food forest and how they like to be part of the excitement around what we’re able to grow—is a big thing for us. And, when the kids pick stuff, they want to eat it. So we’re pretty thrilled with how that’s impacting what they’re willing to eat and obviously we know how healthy it is for them.

Pierre Tardif

Calgary, Alberta

[Our favorite aspect of this lifestyle is] just being self-sufficient—not having to rely on anybody. We don’t know if the power goes out around us until we notice it’s pitch black and all the neighbors have their lights out.

Scott Daley

South of Calgary, Alberta

Rob [Avis, Chief Engineering Officer, 5th World] is a deep source of knowledge and is keen to share it. He was a good brainstormer and came up with innovative solutions, giving consideration to our local climate factors.

Kurt Deschner

Revelstoke, British Columbia

[Working with 5th World] was excellent. We were on a pretty tight deadline, and Rob and the team were very accommodating. They really worked hard over a very short period of time to get us the design and workable documents. So, we really appreciated that. [The team was] very responsive and professional.

Valerie Bassett

Basset Associates, Calgary, Alberta

Working with 5th World has been terrific. There are a lot of really important decisions that need to get made and need to get made right, but going through it one step at a time definitely made me feel a lot more comfortable. It’s nice to be able to work with people who have done it before and saves me from making mistakes—it’s been terrific.

Gil Greenberg

East of Hanover, Ontario

The turnaround times 5th World was able to work inside of and their willingness to share early-stage plans were really key. Also, the push they gave themselves to articulate the ‘why’ behind their design choices in plain language, especially in terms of regenerative landscapes.

Kristofer Kelly-Frere

J5, Calgary, Alberta

I never realized how healing a good team environment could be. [Working with 5th World] was just wonderful.

Elizabeth Daniels

Reimagine, Edmonton, Alberta

What was really important to us was that everyone needed to, not just bring their skill set, but embrace being part of a design team. And I felt that 5th World did that. I had confidence that the people from 5th World were going to have the expertise we needed to shape this project, but I also really love that they seemed to enjoy and thrive being in a design team. They were very collaborative by spirit.

Dean James Overall

School of Hospitality and Tourism, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), Calgary, Alberta

Working with 5th World was a great experience. We truly valued the depth of data and research that was made available to us throughout the process.

Mary McAdams

Colorado

[The 5th World staff were] great, very professional. They would listen to my needs… everything I’ve asked for, they’ve done right away. I think they did a really good job.
