Our Featured Event - May 13
Regeneration International will hold a side event at the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification COP 15 in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire on May 13. The COP15 theme, ‘Land. Life. Legacy: From scarcity to prosperity, is a call to action to ensure land, the lifeline on this planet, continues to benefit present and future generations. COP15 will bring together leaders from governments, the private sector, civil society, and other key stakeholders from around the world to drive progress in the future sustainable management of one of our most precious commodities: land. Precious Phiri, Oliver Gardiner, and André Leu will give presentations about the multiple benefits of Regenerative Agriculture to regenerate degraded arid and semi-arid landscapes. The presentations will feature the Billion Agave Project, an agave-based agroforestry system, and regenerative grazing practices. With interventions from Dr. Paul Luu and Claudia Shepp of the international « 4 per 1000 » Initiative. This event is Co-organised with our partner Pasticoltures del Desierto.
Our Mission
To promote, facilitate and accelerate the global transition to regenerative food, farming and land management for the purpose of restoring climate stability, ending world hunger and rebuilding deteriorated social, ecological and economic systems.
Why COP15?
Regeneration International will attend COP15 to promote regenerative agriculture, holistic planned grazing, watershed restoration and land management as essential practices to reverse global warming and regenerate soil, ecosystems and communities.
Given the considerable attention that agriculture, food production and land use are getting at official negotiations following the IPCC report and the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture, we understand the importance of having a strong presence both within and outside the COP, to ensure that existing best regenerative practices are supported, and that shovel-ready solutions that improve soil organic matter, sequester carbon, and restore ecosystems, livelihoods and communities are highlighted over industrial agriculture models.
Our Plan
Regeneration International plans to advance the regenerative agriculture movement globally, linking regenerative agriculture and the climate crisis, pointing at the root causes and connections between the social and climate crises, and highlighting best local and international regenerative practices.

Regeneration International, in conjunction with steering committee partners such as the Organic Consumers Association, The Global Alliance for Organic Districts, IFOAM Asia, Navdanya, the International Network of Eco Regions, Savory Hub Africa, Via Organica, The League of Organic Municipalities and Cities and BERAS International hosted the People's Food Summit on World Food Day, October 16, last year.
It was a spectacularly successful event with over 522,000 people from all regions of our planet tuning in to watch and listen to our numerous topics.
It was a 24 hour global, participatory, virtual summit that started in Oceania, and moved westwards through the time zones of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and North America.
We had speakers from every continent presenting the truly good news about food production and regenerative systems — including Vandana Shiva, Ronnie Cummins, Andre Leu — panels, discussions and other live events as well as videos and music from every region of the world.
