Regenerative agriculture provides healthier, more nutrient-dense and residue-free food, while reducing the impacts of climate change and improving ecosystem resilience. It also contributes to increasing soil water retention, which reduces drought damage and flooding, thus ensuring a more stable food supply. A more liveable, biodiversity-rich environment improves people's quality of life and reduces the ecological footprint.
Regenerative agriculture offers many benefits not only for farmers but also for civil society. It contributes significantly to environmental protection, reduces soil erosion, improves soil water retention and increases soil fertility. The result? Healthier food, free of residues and nutrient-rich, contributing to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
In addition, regenerative farming reduces the effects of climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide in the soil.
This not only protects the climate, but also increases the humus content of the soil, which improves soil biota and structure. Healthier food, protecting the environment, mitigating climate change, strengthening the local economy and increasing biodiversity all contribute to a better, more sustainable and healthier world in which we can all live and thrive.
By supporting regenerative agriculture, you can contribute to building a more sustainable and healthier future that benefits us all.

The Earth's ecosystem is made up of diverse living systems above and below the Earth's surface. Flora, fauna, humans and soil depend on each other through a complex web of interdependence and close microbial relationships. The soil sustains the web of life. Everything comes from the soil and everything returns to it. The condition and health of the soil has a crucial impact on the other elements of the system. Regenerative agriculture focuses on the key role of soil health to ensure the stability and health of the whole system.
Humanity is an integral part of the Earth's ecosystem. By ignoring the natural context, our society has created unforeseen problems. Soil degradation, erosion, weather anomalies, the total depletion of human nutrition, inanimate, nutrient-poor food are just some of the factors that directly affect human health and well-being. It is man who can reverse this process of degradation. Regenerative agriculture, in terms of crop and livestock production, is one that takes full account of the natural context and also seeks to achieve the best possible production results.
Through their living roots, plants play a key role in significantly improving soil life and soil structure. The greater their ability to photosynthesise, the better they can feed soil life and the greater their contribution to sequestering carbon in the soil and increasing soil humus. The presence of living vegetation and a well-structured, humus-rich soil capable of retaining water helps to maintain a low water cycle, which is a key factor in the even distribution of rainfall.
Soil biota are key for nutrient cycling, organic matter accumulation, soil structure and water balance. The erosion of cultivated and bare soils and the intensive use of chemicals on monoculture crops has led to soil degradation and loss of fertility, putting the whole system at risk and thus human health and food security. Nutrient-rich, micronutrient-rich, healthy food can only be grown on living soil. And soil regeneration is only possible with the presence of plants with a diverse microbiome that stimulate soil life. Natural soil regeneration takes many hundreds of years after the cessation of disturbance. In regenerative agriculture, soil regeneration can take place in a few decades.
If livestock production is based on regenerative principles, it contributes greatly to the development of soil life. Animals that eat a more varied species composition and nutrient-rich vegetation on a soil that is swollen with life will have higher meat quality. The diet of animals on pastures or cover crops is made up of a wide variety of plant species, giving a high microbial diversity of connectivity. The healthy microbiome of animals results in a strong immune system and high resistance to disease.
