Regenerative Agriculture Certification
Certification schemes that verify regenerative farming outcomes — soil health, biodiversity, animal welfare — where no single agreed standard yet exists.
Definition
Regenerative agriculture certification refers to third-party schemes that verify farming practices and outcomes associated with regenerative agriculture — soil organic matter improvement, biodiversity, minimal soil disturbance, cover cropping, integrated livestock and, in some schemes, animal welfare and social fairness. Leading schemes include Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC, layered on organic certification) and Regenified; unlike organic, there is no statutory definition of "regenerative", so certification defines the term in practice.
