CASE STUDY
Regenerating the High Desert
Cedar Springs Farm · Colorado
Ana Intl supported the regeneration of a degraded 40-acre high desert landscape in western Colorado through regenerative agriculture, ecological restoration, and long-term land stewardship.
The project focused on restoring the health of the land as an interconnected living system through:
water restoration and earthworks
rotational grazing systems
silvopasture and agroforestry integration
planting 10,000+ perennial trees and forage species
soil regeneration and biodiversity restoration
integrated food production and ecological resilience
Over time, the landscape evolved from dry, degraded land into a functioning regenerative ecosystem designed to support long-term health, resilience, and abundance.

Field Notes from Ana Intl serves as an evolving archive of reflections, research, and interdisciplinary thinking exploring what healthier systems could look like in the modern world.
We are entering a different era.
The systems shaping modern life are under pressure.
Food quality is declining.
Chronic disease continues to rise.
Burnout has become normalized.
Communities feel increasingly fragmented.
Many organizations are moving faster, while becoming less resilient over time.
What once looked sustainable is beginning to show its limits.
These are not isolated problems.
They are reflections of the environments, incentives, and systems we’ve built around modern life.
Ana Intl exists to explore what healthier systems could look like — across food, health, leadership, culture, and enterprise.
Our work is grounded in a simple belief:
The systems that sustain human life should strengthen life over time, not slowly deplete it.
By studying how living systems create resilience, adaptability, nourishment, and renewal, we help organizations and individuals think differently about how we live, build, lead, and grow.
Meet our founder
Chandrima Ornvold
Chandrima Ornvold is a chef, farmer, founder, and interdisciplinary thinker exploring the relationship between food, agriculture, human vitality, and the future of modern life.
Her work began in regenerative agriculture, where she learned through direct experience how soil, water, food, environment, and human behavior continuously shape one another over time.
That perspective later expanded into hospitality, wellness, executive operations, media, and organizational leadership, where she observed many of the same dynamics playing out far beyond the farm.
Across industries, one reality became increasingly clear:
The environments surrounding people shape what becomes possible within them.
The quality of our food.
The pace of our work.
The health of our communities.
The systems we normalize every day.
These conditions influence resilience, behavior, leadership, creativity, and long-term well-being far more than most modern institutions acknowledge.
Ana Intl was founded as an exploration of what healthier systems could look like — across food, health, leadership, culture, and enterprise.
The company’s work bridges advisory, education, media, and regenerative enterprise to help individuals and organizations think more deeply about how modern life is designed, and what it might look like to build differently.
“Everywhere I worked — from farms and kitchens to wellness spaces and executive teams — I kept seeing the same pattern: people were exhausted, systems were fragmented, and many of the structures shaping modern life were no longer supporting long-term health.”
Build for What Endures
Ana Intl works with founders, organizations, and emerging initiatives exploring healthier ways of living, building, and leading in a rapidly changing world.
Rooted in food, human vitality, and long-term thinking, our work examines how modern systems can become more resilient, coherent, and life-supporting over time.
