In a year marked by escalating climate emergencies and global calls for sustainable solutions, Regenagri reports a jump in the worldwide area under certification.
2023 was a year of strong progress for Regenagri, with the area of land under its certification tripling from 487,000 hectares in 2022, to over 1.46 million hectares in 2023.
Commenting on impressive business performance, Franco Costantini, Regenagri CEO, says: “As extreme weather events become more frequent and the urgency of climate action intensifies, Regenagri’s work in promoting regenerative agriculture is more critical than ever.”
He adds that the programme now supports more than 230,000 farms and 855 supply chain operators globally. “Regenagri’s standards are fast becoming the industry benchmark, especially within the textiles and food sectors,” says Mr Costantini. “We’ve continued to see growth in the textiles sector with brands such as J. Crew Group, GAP, PVH, and we’ve expanded further into food supply chains with brands such as illycaffè.”
He adds that Regenagri is committed to evolving its programme to meet future challenges. “As the Regenagri initiative grows, we keep learning; from understanding the needs of farms and supply chains, to technologies and systems that support the integrity and scalability of the programme. We have ambitious goals to keep moving at pace towards our vision of a world in which regenerative farming is the norm.”
