  • Certifications include Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC), Land to Market (Savory Institute), and Demeter (biodynamic).

Regenerative agriculture goes beyond "sustainable" by actively restoring soil organic matter, microbial diversity and water cycles. Practices include no-till planting, cover cropping, rotational grazing, agroforestry and integrated pest management.

Certifications include Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC), Land to Market (Savory Institute), and Demeter (biodynamic). Each requires year-on-year improvement in measured soil and ecosystem indicators, not a one-time audit.

How to check this before you buy

  2. 2Ask whether the claim is backed by a named standard or independent body, or is just a description.
  3. 3Check whether the claim covers the exact product and size you're buying, not only the wider brand.
