The Regenerative Agriculture Community
Regenerating agriculture together
The Regenerative Agriculture Community is driving the transition toward a resilient, sustainable, and climate-adaptive food system. Connected to the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio, developing as one of the leading networks in Europe, dedicated to scaling regenerative farming practices, we bring together innovators, businesses, and knowledge partners who believe that agriculture can be both profitable and restorative.
With a growing network of frontrunners across the food value chain — from agritech en biotech enabling companies, farmers, food producers to retailers, investors, and policymakers — we accelerate the adoption of regenerative principles that improve soil health, enhance biodiversity, and strengthen water systems.
Together, we turn sustainability ambitions into tangible business value and measurable environmental impact.
Through collaboration, shared learning, and innovation, the Regenerative Agriculture Community creates new opportunities for circular and climate-resilient supply chains.
We connect partners to inspiring innovations, actionable insights, proven practices, and pioneering initiatives that make regeneration a reality — from field to fork.
Join us as a partner and become part of a movement that restores nature, empowers farmers, and secures the future of affordable tasty and healthy food for generations to come.
The Regenerative Agriculture Community
Growing the future together
Regenerative agriculture is taking root fast — but to truly scale impact, we need to move from isolated initiatives to collective action.
The Regenerative Agriculture Community brings together farmers, food producers, agritech innovators, investors, policymakers and knowledge partners to accelerate the transition to a food system that restores nature and strengthens rural economies.
By joining forces, we share insights, test solutions, and build the business models that make regeneration both practical and profitable. Together, we turn ambition into action — from healthy soils to resilient supply chains.
Join the movement. Regenerate with impact.
As a partner of the Regenerative Agriculture Community, you’ll gain:
- Access to shared knowledge, tools, and best practices through acceleration sessions, events, and location visits
- Entry to collaborative initiatives that connect you with frontrunners across the value chain, like for example the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio, ReGeNL and the Protein Farmers of the Netherlands.
- Matchmaking on your challenges with partners, investors, and experts to scale your impact
- Guidance to navigate regen ag trends and build credible sustainability strategies
We’re connecting ecosystems for regenerative growth — and we invite you to be part of it.
We’re always looking to collaborate with passionate innovators.
If you’re interested in becoming a partner, get in touch today and help shape the future of regeneratively produced food.
Fill in the form and we will invite you for a personal e-meeting to explore the opportunities.
Welcome to our newest partners
What partners say about Community
‘As interest in regenerative agriculture grows, we aim to understand its definitions, policies, and best practices to effectively integrate it into our future product offerings. We see regenerative agriculture as a key strategy for long-term sustainability and want to explore how it can benefit our products and operations.’
Dr. Oetker
‘S&dB has developed a concept that needs to be further validated and embraced by relevant stakeholders in our supply chain. We believe that the Regenerative Agriculture Community gives us access to these relevant partners, with whom we can further develop and scale our concept, and we can share our experiences with to achieve also their goals.’

Info box: What is Regenerative Agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture is a system of farming principles and practices that increases biodiversity, enriches soils, improves watersheds, and enhances ecosystem services. Regenerative agriculture is not a fixed set of measures, but a transition path towards a whole ecosystem approach, meaning aiming to work with nature instead of against it. For farm management decisions, the whole farming ecosystem is considered. All the stakeholders that are affected are also taken into consideration, and mutually beneficial relationships are established between them.
At the heart of regenerative farming is the soil and increasing soil health in a holistic agro-ecosystem. Some of the key techniques that are being used in regenerative agriculture to increase soil health are no tillage, cover crops, increasing biodiversity, rotation cropping, reducing reliance on synthetic inputs, attracting natural predators of pests and integrating livestock. The applying of practices is very context-specific and differs from farm to farm, region to region.
Regenerative agriculture is not determined by a fixed set of practices, but rather a transition towards an integral approach to farming that uses soil conservation as the basis. Therefore, the community uses the following working definition, developed by developed by Van den Hoorn et al. (2024):
“Regenerative agriculture is an integral approach to farming that uses soil conservation as the basis to regenerate multiple provisioning, regulating and supporting services, to actively enhance the ecological performance of farming systems, while sustaining the socio-economic viability. “ (Van den Hoorn et al., 2024)

Regenerative Innovation Portfolio
Relevant for
Regenerative Agriculture
We believe that the solution to transition agricultural practices by farmers lies in cross value chain collaboration, where all partners work together in facilitating the farmer, put in the central, to transition towards regenerative practices. This is not an agricultural transition but more a value chain transition that needs a collaborative approach to come to scale.
