Regenerative Innovation Portfolio

Regenerative Agriculture:
the Solution

The Regenerative Innovation Portfolio aims to remove barriers to the adoption of regenerative agriculture by demonstrating innovative cross-value chain solutions in Europe, enabling viable business models to boost the supply of regenerative products and ecosystem services.

The Portfolio brings together diverse stakeholders across Europe to drive essential systemic changes, addressing the urgent need to transform our flawed food system into one that prioritizes sustainability and social equity. This transformation aims to cultivate a circular agrifood landscape rooted in value-based principles, fostering inclusivity for both nature and social well-being.

The Regenerative Innovation Portfolio, funded by EIT Food, is an ecosystem collaboration, established as a Food Innovation Hub Europe Initiative, and brought to you in collaboration with Foodvalley.

Landscape approach

The Portfolio follows a landscape-based approach involving communities of farmers, offtakers and other stakeholders in regions across Europe willing to adopt regenerative practices covering multiple commodity value chains and connecting to various collaborating offtakers.

The Portfolio initiates various innovative cross-value chain initiatives on a landscape level that work towards our mission statement through three main pillars:

  • Regenerative demand and supply matching solutions, for example
    • Accelerate deployment of platforms for matching the supply and demand of regenerative agriculture products
    • Enable collaboration between food system actors
  • Solutions for ecosystem services, including
    • Develop, test and scale the value and selling mechanisms
    • Demonstrate that the value generated by the ecosystem can be incorporated into produce
    • Apply established, proven and accepted MRV processes and tools
  • Financial solutions that enable and derisk the transition for farmers, including
    • Remove financial barriers for regenerative agriculture adoption
    • Find financial solutions to manage risks associated with transition

Establish a landscape

Collaborating at the landscape level turns vision into action — creating on-the-ground projects that drive real change. These partnerships unite the food system around shared goals, tailored to local economic, social and ecological realities.

A landscape is a region where stakeholders share the ambition to shift towards regenerative agriculture. We bring together companies and organisations — from farmer cooperatives and food producers to financial and water management institutions — to build this transition collectively.

By aligning diverse interests into a shared vision, we enable collaboration, learning and measurable impact.

Join us in creating landscapes that turn regenerative ambition into action — from local fields to the European food system.

Landscapes driving change

ReGeNL

ReGeNL is working alongside Dutch farmers to develop a future-proof agricultural sector

Navarra 360º (Spain)

Navarra 360º is the 2nd landscape project that seeks to promote regenerative agriculture in Navarra (Spain).

Lower Silesia 360º (Poland)

Lower Silesia 360° is the third landscape  project in Wraclaw. It is one of the largest regenerative agriculture projects in Poland.

Join our Regenerative Agriculture Community

To facilitate the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio and its landscapes, we have built a broader Regenerative Agriculture Community.
A broad range of stakeholders, also outside the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio, can join.

Landscape partners automatically become part of it. Read more >
