ABOUT Kara
My journey into agroecology began after 18 years in the holistic health field as a Certified Herbalist, Nutritionist, and Chef as the owner of my business Kroeger Nutrition LLC. Upon being exposed to a philosophy of land regeneration called Holistic Management while helping a friend restore degraded pastures on her cattle ranch in Uvalde, Texas, I witnessed the profound similarities between human health, soil health, and the fascinating microbes that move between us and inextricably link us together.
This discovery quickly brought me full circle in my work as an Herbalist and Nutritionist because I realized that no human or animal could become healthy if our soils were not healthy! And believe me, most of our soils are far from healthy, so unsurprisingly, neither are most of our human gastrointestinal tracts. Sincerely inspired to do something about improving the state of our soils, agriculture and ecology to produce healthier food and people, I returned to school and got my degree in agriculture. I work as a holistic nutrition coach and agroecology educator to incorporate all my skills under one holistic umbrella. By focusing on soil health, and particularly the health of the human gastrointestinal tract, we can heal humans, animals, and the land.

I have found that supporting regenerative agriculture, sustainable food systems and human health through nutrition is the most far-reaching way to grow this awareness… literally from the ground up. After all, we all have to eat!
