Organic Certification as the Basis of Regenerative Agriculture?

There are discussions that organic certification should be mandated as the starting point of regenerative agriculture.

Our definition of Regenerative Agriculture:

Regenerative systems improve the environment, soil, plants, animal welfare, health, and communities.

The opposite of Regenerative is Degenerative

This is an essential distinction in determining practices that are not regenerative.

Regeneration International has consistently asserted that the four principles of organic agriculture are essential in determining whether practices are regenerative or degenerative.

Health
Organic agriculture should sustain and enhance the health of soil, plant, animal, human and planet as one and indivisible.

Ecology
Organic agriculture should be based on living ecological systems and cycles, work with them, emulate them and help sustain them.

Fairness
Organic agriculture should build on relationships that ensure fairness with regard to the common environment and life opportunities.

Care
Organic agriculture should be managed in a precautionary and responsible manner to protect the health and well-being of current and future generations and the environment.
