Mad Agriculture, in collaboration with the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes and Collaborative Earth, is seeking an individual who is passionate and deeply knowledgeable about climate-smart and regenerative rangeland management to be project manager of an innovative and interdisciplinary project. The project is funded by a USDA Partnership for Climate Smart Commodities (PCSC) grant. This four-year project spans cultural, institutional, and disciplinary boundaries to achieve three main goals:

(1) Develop a demonstration program on tribal lands, implementing and expanding multiple climate-smart practices in the production of American bison and restoring native grasslands. This program will showcase the benefits of regenerative bison production to rangeland, ranchers, and climate resilience.

(2) Rigorously quantify the ecological and climate-related impacts of regenerative bison production and grassland restoration. In this quantification, we will also trial streamlined processes to reduce monitoring costs for future adopters.

(3) Develop production standards as well as a brand of bison that are closely tied to a rigorously verified narrative of regenerative production, fostering a market-driven expansion of the practices demonstrated and studied in this program.
