Regenerative agriculture
Regenerative agriculture is a way of using the land that works with nature rather than against it, harnessing the chemical and biological power of soil itself. It has the potential to turn our food system into one that improves soil heath instead of degrading it, delivering vital ecosystem services while producing high-quality food and raw materials that humanity needs to thrive.

Focus areas
The Soil Heroes Foundations focuses on three main ways to empower farmers to transition to regenerative practices and make it a worldwide standard:
- Providing proof of practice
- Sharing knowledge and practical resources
- Building network

Proof
Knowledge
Network
We currently have three main projects under execution:
1. Water retention proof of practice project - we quantify the improvement in soil's water retention capacity resulting from applying regenerative farming practices.
2. Toolbox for farmers - we develop a practical guidebook for farmers on how to apply the 20 core principles of regenerative farming.
3. Landscape elements - we have implemented flower edges and biodiversity lanes on our fields, which improved crop resilience and enabled us to decrease the external inputs.
Learn more about our current projects and how you can support them!
Besides our main focus on improving soil health, we strive to increase the impact of ecosystem services. This enables farmers to gain directly from their transition and so secure long-term revenues.
