Textile Exchange's Regenerative Ag Framework: Your Outcome Guide

Textile Exchange's Regenerative Agriculture Outcome Framework Guidebook supports companies and farms in measuring, targeting, and reporting progress. Preliminary steps: Assess context, interpret/prioritize outcomes, act on regenerative practices. Then baseline performance, set targets (e.g., SBTN Land/Freshwater, GHG Protocol), monitor trends, adapt management, report publicly sharing successes/challenges. Figure 1 outlines brand expectations; Figure 3 details three-step process: implement practices, measure outcome indicators, demonstrate system functioning. Offers indicator choices per outcome area, tailored for smallholders/resource-poor farmers, prioritizing flexibility. Users include brands, farms, project developers, extension agents. Farms understand social/economic context first. Ongoing monitoring via selected indicators, action plans. Practical for statements on alignment with standards/initiatives. Steps ensure baseline establishment, target-setting, public reporting for knowledge exchange. VF Corporation's process gifted for use.
