2025: 10 Years of Regeneration and Beyond

This year, Regeneration International celebrated a decade of collective action — ten years of grassroots organizing, global solidarity, and soil-deep transformation. Our partner network has now grown to more than 700 organizations.

We also marked a major milestone with our 5th annual People’s Food Summit, a global online gathering of farmers, activists, scientists, and community leaders reimagining the future of food. This year’s summit reached an extraordinary 10 million people worldwide, amplifying the voices and solutions that are reshaping our food systems from the ground up.

In 2025, our movement reached deeper into landscapes and communities across the Global South.
We advanced landscape-level regenerative initiatives in Africa and Latin America; supported healthy soils and healthy food campaigns; expanded global trainings on the Billion Agave Project; strengthened community-led seed and food sovereignty efforts; and continued defending native corn and promoting truly healthy tortillas across Mexico. This year, our team was invited to speak on high-level panels around the world—ensuring regeneration remains central to the global policy conversation.

Across four continents, we delivered more than 50 workshops, videos, trainings, and talks, helping practitioners, farmers, and activists put regenerative principles into practice every day.

Next year, the Regeneration International Academy, in partnership with the South Seas University will hold another edition of the Certificate Course on Agroecological, Regenerative and Organic Agriculture (AROA), covering topics such as maximizing photosynthesis, soil health and nutrition, the use of functional biodiversity to manage pests and marketing.

The case for regeneration has never been more urgent. Climate disruption is no longer a distant warning—it’s an everyday reality. Biodiversity is disappearing before our eyes. Floods and droughts are intensifying. Heatwaves and fires are reshaping ecosystems and livelihoods.
We are living at the tipping point.

Preventing the most catastrophic ecological and social breakdown in human history depends on what we do now—how we care for our soils, our ecosystems, and our communities. The path forward requires courage, collaboration, and a collective commitment to address the root causes of climate, agricultural, and social collapse.

To support our shared commitment to strong, nature-based farming systems, we introduced the Regeneration International Standard this year. Developed together with our community, it reflects and expands on the values established by our pioneers. We use it as a common reference point to help maintain integrity across our work and to collectively push back against greenwashing and appropriation.

Your leadership—as consumers, activists, organizers, farmers, and scientists—is powering a global movement to regenerate the Earth and reverse climate change.
The climb toward global regeneration is steep, but we are climbing it together.

We are deeply grateful for your partnership, your persistence, and your belief in the regenerative future we know is possible.
Here’s to growing the global regeneration movement even stronger in 2026.

With gratitude—and for regeneration, always,
The RI Team
