Foodvalley Supports Launch of Landmark Regenerative Agriculture Landscape in Poland: Lower Silesia 360°
Wageningen (NL) – 28 October 2025 – Foodvalley is proud to be a partner in Lower Silesia 360°, one of the largest regenerative agriculture landscapes in Poland, officially launching on 29 October 2025. The initiative brings together farmers, businesses, and local institutions to accelerate the transition to regenerative farming and strengthen agricultural resilience across more than 20,000 hectares of land.
Lower Silesia 360° is part of the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio, an ecosystem collaboration initiated under the World Economic Forum’s Food Innovation Hub Europe, co-led by EIT Food and Foodvalley. The project is co-financed by participating corporate partners and through European Horizon funding via EIT Food, which is supported by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union.
The landscape unites leading companies including Bunge, PepsiCo, Viking Malt, Malteurop, and Heineken, together with the Lower Silesian Agricultural Advisory Centre (DODR) in Wrocław. It focuses on four major crops — rapeseed, wheat, malting barley, and sugar beet — to pioneer regenerative practices that can be replicated across Europe.
“This landscape launch is a landmark moment for agriculture in Europe, showing how regenerative approaches can be scaled at landscape level by bringing the entire value chain together. Lower Silesia 360° can become a blueprint for other landscapes across Europe, delivering benefits for nature, farmers and the food system as a whole.”
By aligning corporate off-takers with farmer-led action, Lower Silesia 360° seeks to improve soil health and biodiversity, enhance carbon sequestration, and ensure long-term farm viability. It provides farmers with tailored technical support, financial incentives, and capacity building, ensuring that regenerative practices are both practical and profitable.
“Collaboration at landscape level is critical to enable and accelerate the transition towards regenerative agriculture. Together you get further than alone. Lower Silesia 360° is exemplary in showing that off-takers, growers and public parties can unite around shared objectives – as a lever for real change in the fields and in the lives of the growers involved.”
Running from 2025 to 2028, the project will develop a harmonised Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) platform to track environmental outcomes such as soil health, biodiversity, and greenhouse gas emissions. Insights gathered will inform future regenerative landscapes across Europe.
“This initiative unites businesses, local stakeholders and farmers across Lower Silesia to build resilience at scale. By working across the landscape, we can secure the future of key supply chains in Poland and inspire similar transformations elsewhere in Europe.”
Poland’s critical role in Europe’s food future
As one of the EU’s largest agricultural producers, Poland plays a vital role in Europe’s food security. Strengthening resilience to climate change and building regenerative capacity is therefore essential to safeguard the long-term viability of both farms and supply chains.
