Regen Agriculture Can Outperform Conventional Farming Across Key Metrics

The European Alliance for Regenerative Agriculture has released the results of new study which reveals that regenerative farming systems across Europe are not only environmentally superior but bring higher returns for farmers and are more resilient than conventional models.

In the face of a deepening crisis in soil degradation, biodiversity loss, climate instability, and food system fragility, EARA’s multi-year analysis provides compelling evidence that regenerative agriculture offers a credible, high-performance alternative to Europe’s input-intensive farming model.

Spanning 14 countries and more than 7,000 hectares, EARA research introduces a new performance measurement tool, the Regenerating Full Productivity (RFP) Index, developed collaboratively by farmers, agronomists, and researchers. This index measures outcomes not only in terms of yield, but also soil health, biodiversity, and economic results, integrating both satellite data and field-level reporting.
