Why regenerative?
Regenerative practices encompass a holistic approach to land management and food production that aims to restore and enhance ecosystems. These practices focus on improving soil health, increasing biodiversity, and mitigating climate change by mimicking natural processes.
Regeneration ensures that we operate and invest in ways that are:
Better for Nature
Regenerative practices improve the abundance and quality of natural capital, which can be observed at different levels: increase in soil organic matter; additional Carbon Sequestration Rates; increased biodiversity and improved water retention.
Better for Consumers
Products based on regenerative ingredients typically contain less contaminants and toxics (avoid synthetic pestivides, herbicides and chemical fertilizers); contain 15 to 40% higher density of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals etc); and result in better taste and culinary quality (richer flavour profiles and more bioactive compunds influencing taste and aroma).
Better for Business
Businesses who implement regenerative practices usually undergo a transition period. Once achieved, they typically obtain better quality products, increased productivity, more resilience, and better reputation. These combined can deliver more production, lower costs and increased revenues, resulting in higher IRR.
