Introducing the Regeneration International Standard

Agriculture must change from chemically intensive degenerative industrial systems to regenerative, biological, biodiverse, nature-based ones to regenerate our ecosystems, climate, health, and communities. Such systems improve resources, reduce, and ultimately avoid synthetic chemicals. It is not based on animal or plant cruelty. Instead, its foundations are biodiversity, plant biology, living soil science, and humane livestock systems.

Overview of Standard

This standard is brief and direct instead of a lengthy, complex regulatory document. It aims to be user-friendly for farmers and landholders. Regeneration International will periodically update this standard.

It has the Definition, General Principles,  Guidance, and Clear prohibitions.

Apart from the prohibitions, it uses principles and guidance rather than mandated practices so farmers and land managers can make decisions based on the most appropriate practices and inputs and encourage innovation. The primary purpose of this standard is to assist in a paradigm shift from the current degenerative industrial-agricultural systems into systems that regenerate soil, biodiversity, climate, community, fairness, care, and health.
