Regenified

Regenified's 6-3-4 Verification Standard‍

Our regenerative certification framework is based on the measurement of practices and outcomes and backed by science through extensive on-field and in-lab testing and data collection. It allows farmers to adopt and scale regenerative practices confidently and enables us to measure, verify, and validate their efforts appropriately. Together, we’re creating greater trust, transparency, and traceability in the supply chain.

‍

‍Regenified’s solution is not to conquer nature but to collaborate with it.

‍

‍Regenerative agriculture focuses on restoring the health of the entire ecosystem. It promotes biodiversity, soil health, water conservation, and climate resilience.

‍

Practices used in regenerative farming include minimizing soil disturbance, maintaining living roots, keeping armor on the soil, building biodiversity, and integrating livestock.

‍

The goal is to produce nutritious and high-quality food while also contributing to the overall well-being of the environment, ecosystem, farmers, and our communities.

• The Regenified certification uses what they call the 6-3-4™ Standard. It's not a prescriptive to-do list but a framework measuring and assessing farming practices and their impact on ecosystem outcomes.
• The standard encompasses six principles, three rules, and four ecosystem processes. Using this framework, farmers create a plan that maps out the path to regenerate their farm and quantify their progress along that journey.
  • 6 Principles: Context, Disturbance, Enhanced Diversity, Armor, Living Roots, Livestock
  • 3 Rules: Rule of Compounding, Rule of Diversity, Rule of Disruption
  • 4 Ecosystem Processes: Energy Flow, Water Cycle, Mineral Cycle, Diversity
• Based on the 6-3-4™ framework, Regenified has a 5-tier ranking system to score and classify where a farm is on its respective regenerative journey. The tier a farm qualifies for is based on a score it receives after an in-field evaluation. In-field evaluations are required annually.
• A farm cannot remain in a tier for more than 3 years and can advance to higher tiers as quickly as it wants. A farm may use the Regenified™ seal once it scores high enough to qualify for tier 2.
