Plan to Accelerate Regenerative Agriculture for Healthy Soil and Food Systems

This plan lays out a multi-stakeholder strategy for accelerating regenerative agriculture and linking it to broader goals for healthy soils, resilient food systems, and climate action. It is especially practical because it organizes the agenda into strategic pillars rather than offering generic advocacy. The document emphasizes measuring regenerative agriculture across the value chain, creating stronger financial flows into regenerative solutions, integrating regenerative approaches into policy and public programs, and using evidence and standards to guide investment decisions. For practitioners and policymakers, this means the plan is focused on implementation architecture, not just aspiration.

A major theme is measurement. The document calls for harmonizing existing metrics and indicator frameworks so regenerative outcomes can be consistently monitored across different agroecosystems, from soil to human health. That is important because one of the biggest barriers to scaling regenerative agriculture is comparing results across farms and regions. By recommending more coherent metrics, the plan aims to make outcomes legible to buyers, investors, governments, and reporting systems. It also notes that risk assessment tools already exist, such as frameworks for regenerative agriculture and healthy soil, but are not systematically integrated into national agriculture, climate, biodiversity, and ecosystem strategies.

The plan also addresses finance in concrete terms. It calls for increasing the amount of financing available for regenerative solutions, boosting public procurement investments, and enabling blended finance mechanisms that can handle agricultural risk. This is a practical design point for institutions because regenerative transitions often require capital before benefits materialize. The document also recommends using evidence to re-purpose agricultural subsidies and public investment so they support regenerative transitions rather than reinforcing harmful input-intensive models.

Another important contribution is the emphasis on policy coherence and corporate accountability. The plan argues that regenerative agriculture should be embedded into supply chain strategy and public programs, not left as a voluntary niche. It frames regenerative agriculture as a way to strengthen supply chain resilience and support farming communities while contributing to global climate and biodiversity objectives. For decision-makers, the document is useful because it connects measurement, finance, procurement, and policy into a single roadmap for scaling regenerative agriculture in a credible, accountable way.
