Regenerative Agriculture
Thriving together for the regenerative agriculture transition across Europe
Why the regenerative agriculture transition matters
By 2050, the world will need to feed nearly ten billion people, while today’s agricultural system is already pushing environmental and economic limits. Regenerative agriculture offers a way forward, and momentum is growing across Europe. Farmers are adopting new practices, companies are rethinking sourcing, investors are exploring credible transition models, and knowledge partners are building evidence around soil, water, biodiversity and farm resilience.
But regenerative agriculture cannot scale through individual initiatives alone. The transition requires collaboration across the full value chain and within landscapes, bringing together farmers, food companies, investors, researchers, governments and other partners.
That is why Foodvalley acts as an independent convenor, connecting the people, landscapes and value chains needed to move from ambition to action and accelerate the transition towards regenerative agriculture across Europe.
Foodvalley brings farmers, companies, investors, public actors, researchers and regional initiatives together to make agriculture work in practice.
Foodvalley’s work is guided by the 3Fs
Farmer Centered | Fair Value Chains | Future-Proof Systems
Regenerative agriculture can only scale when farmers, ecosystems and value chains thrive together.
That is why Foodvalley brings farmers, companies, investors, public actors, researchers and civil society together to build a fair and future-proof food systems.
With a practical approach
Applying our approach to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture.
Foodvalley helps turn regenerative agriculture ambitions into action
Convening regenerative value chains
Regenerative agriculture can only scale if it has a viable route to market. This requires collaboration across the value chain, bringing together farmers, processors, brands, retailers, food service, B2B buyers, investors, policymakers and landscape actors.
Convening regenerative landscapes
Foodvalley supports the scaling of regenerative agriculture by helping develop collaborative landscape initiatives. Our role is to convene, connect and activate. We bring the right partners to the table and support them in moving from ambition to action.
Connecting the community as a breeding ground for initiatives
The community is where regenerative agriculture becomes more than an ambition.
It is where partners meet, learn and explore what is needed to make regeneration work in practice.
Mapping the ecosystem
To support the transition, Foodvalley will be launching the Regenerative Agriculture Transition Map: a European overview that makes regenerative agriculture ecosystems visible and actionable.

Regenerative Agriculture
Regenerative Agriculture can only scale when people, planet and profit thrive together. Regeneration of the land starts with the restoration of natural systems – soils plant & animal health, biodiversity and water systems -, But for farmers to regenerate the land at scale, regeneration of the food system is needed.

Regenerative Agriculture
Met Ketenkracht Natuurlijk onderzoeken we hoe we de vraag kunnen vergroten, boeren kunnen helpen omschakelen en de keten daarop kunnen inrichten. We werken aan een gezamenlijk verdienmodel en kijken welke aanpassingen in wet- en regelgeving en financiering nodig zijn. Door dit in de praktijk te testen, ontdekken we wat werkt, waar de knelpunten zitten en welke oplossingen nodig zijn om regeneratieve landbouw op te schalen.

Resilient Agriculture 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.

SME Innovation voucher
Accelerate your innovation with the SME Innovation Voucher. For many startups and scale-ups, the step from laboratory research to commercially viable products is a critical but challenging phase. Scaling often requires access to advanced pilot, demo or test facilities, specialised equipment and technical expertise; resources that are typically costly and difficult to access independently.

Regenerative Agriculture
Within ReGeNL, Foodvalley works to accelerate the transition to regenerative agriculture by building strong and viable value chains. We connect farmers, producer organisations and cooperatives with processors, off-takers, retailers, foodservice, financial partners and other value chain actors. By bringing supply and demand together, we work towards long-term market commitment and greater market security for regeneratively produced crops.
