EARA Releases First Farmer-Led Assessment of Regen Verification Systems
Regen has moved from niche movement to mainstream conversation. With this growth comes both opportunity and risk. Corporations, governments, and consumers increasingly seek to support regenerative practices – but without credible verification systems, the term risks dilution and misuse.
The stakes are high. Regen ag offers potential solutions to some of agriculture’s most pressing challenges: soil degradation, biodiversity loss, climate change, water pollution, and farm economic viability. But realising this potential requires systems that can credibly distinguish genuine regeneration from greenwashing while remaining accessible and valuable to the farmers doing the work.
RegenCompass Version 1.0
A new report, the RegenCompass Version 1.0, offers the first comprehensive, farmer-led evaluation of the systems designed to answer that question – and reveals both promising innovations and significant gaps in the movement.
