what is vet2ag?
Vet2Ag is a Veteran-Based Nonprofit that saw several problems we wanted to repair.
Vet2Ag addresses three critical national challenges: (1) the loss of technical and scientific expertise when U.S. veterans transition from military service; (2) the decline and foreign acquisition of generational farmland, threatening national food security; and (3) the erosion of purpose among veterans and their families following separation from service.
Our solution integrates veterans into a comprehensive Science, Technology, Engineering & Math (“STEM”)-based agricultural training and innovation ecosystem. The headquarters farm in the Black Hills region of South Dakota serves as both a training facility and research & development hub where veterans and their families learn regenerative agriculture, machine fabrication, and business leadership. Through applied research, machining & fabrication training, and commercialization support, Vet2Ag empowers veterans to rebuild America’s food systems while restoring purpose and economic self-sufficiency.
This hybrid nonprofit model includes revenue-generating subsidiaries and long-term scaling across multiple agricultural regions nationwide. The result: a veteran-led agricultural movement driving innovation, sustainability, and national renewal.
