Regenagri is a leader in regenerative agriculture and offers a robust certification process, carbon credits, advisory services, and a digital hub for monitoring on-farm data. Regenagri along with Solidaridad and Control Union have launched a new partnership to drive the transition to regenerative farming.
This trio will work with stakeholders to scale up adoption of regenerative practices and increase the value of products produced according to regenerative criteria. Regenerative agriculture practices include crop diversification, intercropping of trees, reduced tillage, mulching, and water conservation techniques. These techniques improve yields by increasing soil nutrients and organic content, reducing soil erosion and improving water retention. This leads to broader environmental benefits, including more resilient ecosystems, carbon sequestration, improved water management and greater biodiversity.
Under the strategic partnership, Regenagri provides a global, scalable and holistic framework made up of standards, data applications and support services for regenerative agriculture. Unlike other existing programmes, the regenagri programme was created in collaboration with farmers and agri-businesses to include a focus on improving their prosperity. Regenagri certification enables brands to demonstrate progress on environmental targets and helps supply chains assure the validity of regenerative claims. This transparency can help farmers get premium prices for their crops.
Regenagri is implemented globally, from Asia to USA and South America, across a wide variety of commodities. Since its launch in 2020, over 50,000 farmers have been certified, representing over 617,464 hectares of land.
Solidaridad’s Executive Director Jeroen Douglas and Director of Control Union Johan Maris sign their agreement to collaborate in the promotion of regenagri.
Control Union is the sole certifier for the regenagri programme, certifying farms, companies and supply chains. The regenagri standard is applicable to food and non-food commodities, including natural fibres, such as wool and cotton. In addition to certifying compliance with regenagri standards, Control Union will offer carbon verification for carbon credits generated under regenerative practices.
Max Goulden, Managing Director of Control Union UK, expressed his confidence in the future of regenagri. He stated, “We are proud of the significant progress made by regenagri in advancing sustainability within agriculture. We believe that Solidaridad is the ideal organisation to take regenagri to new heights and build upon the strong foundation we have laid. We look forward to continuing to support regenagri as the certification body for their standards.”
