Regenerative agriculture can help rebuild the ecological integrity of farming systems. Combining practices such as minimal tillage, agroforestry, holistic pasture management, and the reduction of synthetic inputs, it can lead to higher crop resilience, improved water retention, and long-term productivity.
According to the European Environment Agency, agriculture accounts for approximately 12% of total greenhouse gas emissions in the EU — yet well-managed soils hold significant potential for carbon sequestration. This positions regenerative farming as a key lever within the European Green Deal and the Farm to Fork Strategy, and makes the exchange of verified good practices across European farms the most practical path toward widespread adoption.
