Convening Regenerative Landscape Initiatives

No one can transform the food system alone. But together we can.

Regenerative agriculture starts in real places. In landscapes where farmers, soils, water, biodiversity and communities are part of one connected system. What happens on the land affects the health of the wider landscape, and the condition of that landscape shapes what farmers and communities can achieve. Regeneration is therefore not only about improving farming practices, but about restoring the relationships that make landscapes productive, resilient and alive.

Foodvalley supports the scaling of regenerative agriculture by helping develop collaborative landscape initiatives. We define a landscape as a bioregion with similar ecological characteristics, challenges and opportunities. A landscape initiative brings together the actors who are needed to support regeneration in that place: farmers, producer organisations, companies, buyers, water partners, governments, financiers, landowners, researchers and other enabling organisations.

Foodvalley’s role is to convene, connect and activate. We bring the right partners to the table, help them build a shared understanding of the landscape and support them in moving from ambition to action.

We do this as an independent hub. Because we are neutral, we can create a trusted space where different interests can meet. Because we know the ecosystem and the people in it, we can connect partners that might not otherwise find one another. And because we work inclusively, we involve the actors that are truly needed to make change happen, from farmers and local stakeholders to food companies, investors and public actors.
