Kutztown, Pa., March 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jeff Tkach, CEO of Rodale Institute<\/a> and a leading voice in regenerative organic agriculture, announced the launch of his debut book, The Farm Is Here<\/em>. The book brings critical attention to the direct link between soil health and public health, leveraging both scientific research and Tkach\u2019s own health journey to highlight agriculture\u2019s role in addressing national health challenges.<\/p>\n

In The Farm Is Here<\/em>, Tkach uses his experience overcoming a personal health crisis to illustrate the broader impact of declining soil quality on public health, food security and chronic disease. By demonstrating his transformation and finding real solutions in nature, his story draws a vital connection between the environment and the well-being of our communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we as a nation are to achieve real progress on health, we must start by rebuilding the soil beneath our feet,\u201d said Tkach. \u201cI want readers to understand that healing ourselves and healing our land are inseparable goals. This is bigger than agriculture, it\u2019s about the future of our food, our environment and our collective well-being.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Drawing from several decades of scientific study and community implementation at Rodale Institute, the book integrates the Institute\u2019s innovative research and leadership, proving regenerative organic agriculture as a central strategy for building healthy communities and strengthening environmental resilience across the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe answer lies much closer than we think,\u201d Tkach writes. \u201cHealth isn\u2019t just a personal matter; it grows from the health of our environment and our choices as society.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tkach emphasizes how the fate of public health, climate and community well-being are intertwined, and everyone has a role to play, presenting evidence-based guidance and actionable steps for individuals, institutions and policymakers to foster regeneration in daily life that can yield measurable, long-term benefits. As Rose Mercario, former CEO of Patagonia, puts it “The Farm Is Here<\/em> is an important book rooted in hope for our planet.”<\/p>\n

The Farm Is Here<\/em> can now be found at all major book retailers.\u00a0Order it here<\/a> and learn more at rodaleinstitute.org<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
