Certified Regenerative by AGW

What Does ‘Regenerative’ Mean?

‍Here at A Greener World, we define Regenerative Agriculture as a set of planned agricultural practices that ensure the farm or ranch is not depleted by agricultural practices, and over time the soil, water, air, and biodiversity are improved or maintained to the greatest extent possible.

‍Regenerative Certification for Real Change

‍The farmer and their regenerative experts develop a plan for the operation of the land being farmed. This plan is reviewed by a panel of experts who approve the vision for the farm’s regenerative journey, which is measured and audited on an ongoing basis. This approach allows for true regional and local flexibility while adhering to regenerative principles, giving confidence to consumers and stakeholders.

• Regenerative Agriculture is a series of agricultural practices implemented by a farmer that leaves the agricultural system in a better state than when they started, or in a state of ecological equilibrium if the maximum living soil health has already been achieved.
• Beyond a core focus on soil health, Regenerative Agriculture incorporates life-promoting practices throughout the ecosystem, including soil, water, air, cropping systems, livestock, biodiversity, wild harvest, and human/societal factors.
• Certified Regenerative requires a measurable Regenerative Plan, written by the farmer and/or Qualified Expert and subsequently reviewed by the Review Panel. As every location carries individual characteristics, individual solutions must be tailored for the success of the holding.
• Beyond the Plan, a farm that strives for certification must also satisfy the Best Practices and Standards in the areas shown below:
  • Soil
  • Water
  • Air
  • Livestock
  • Land Use and Cropping
  • Biodiversity
  • Buildings
  • Human
  • Financial
  • Traceability
• Incremental and measurable improvement is expected, and if an equilibrium is reached within the soil or system, the steward is expected to maintain it over time. Compliance with the Certified Regenerative standard will be conducted annually.
