Strategic Intelligence: Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agriculture is a series of farming principles and practices that improve long-term soil health, maintain productivity, support ecosystems, and increase farmer incomes. It involves reducing the use of heavy machinery, keeping soils covered and protected, and increasing biodiversity by integrating livestock and multiple crops into farm systems.

Key Highlights

• There are multiple ways companies can encourage the adoption of regenerative practices at the farm level. Implementation can be approached in stages. There is a lack of generally accepted standards for defining and measuring regenerative practices, but there are commonly used metrics for tracking adoption and outcomes.
• Companies should adopt regenerative practices across all their key sourcing regions, but Latin America has an especially supportive environment for adoption. It is one of the world’s largest food exporters and is becoming a home for agricultural technology (agritech) investment. COP30, held in November 2025 in Brazil, saw the launch of the Resilient Agriculture Investment for Net Zero Land Degradation.
