From the Ground Up: Transparent Pathways to Regenerative Food Systems

This report from As You Sow can help you to better understand regenerative food systems and to benchmark major food manufacturers and suppliers on their regenerative agriculture programs, policies, and goals. The report explains the environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture, including those related to soil health and natural capital, water and air quality, and biodiversity protection. The scorecard assesses how companies publicly define regenerative agriculture and whether they require suppliers to adopt practices that are aligned with intended outcomes; how they measure and verify outcomes and data; how they support farmers; how they set, track, and report progress on regenerative agriculture goals; and how they build partnerships and supports innovation. The report also provides recommendations for food companies, investors, and policymakers.
