This workshop will focus on the science and proven best practices in regenerative agriculture to build soil health, particularly soil organic matter and how this can both adapt and mitigate climate change. Most importantly, these methods will improve yields in an increasingly unreliable and erratic climate while reducing production costs – making farms more viable.

André Leu is the International Director of Regeneration International. It is an organisation that promotes food, farming and land use systems that regenerate and stabilize climate systems, the health of the planet, people, communities, culture and local economies, democracy and peace. André has over 45 years of experience in all areas of agriculture from growing, pest control, weed management, marketing, post-harvest, transport, grower organisations, developing new crops and education in many countries on every arable continent. He specializes in all forms of regenerative agriculture, including organic, agroecology, permaculture, biological farming and conservation agriculture. André has an extensive knowledge of farming and environmental systems in more than 100 countries across Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Africa from over 45 years of working and visiting these countries. André lectures and teaches at universities, institutions and workshops around the world. He speaks at numerous conferences, seminars, workshops as well as United Nations events on every continent. He meets with governments, United Nations bodies, industry, farmers, consumers and NGOs on the multi-functional benefits of regenerative agriculture and on the science of increasing soil organic matter to both mitigate and adapt to climate change.
