How do I start regenerative agriculture? Transforming to regenerative agriculture is a systemic challenge. We created a seven-point-roadmap which identifies key actions that players across the supply chain must take to drive change in the industry. Expand This seven-point-roadmap which identifies the key actions that players across the agriculture supply chain – including farmers, businesses with agricultural supply chains, agribusinesses, non-profits, investors and financial services, research institutions, philanthropists and policy makers – must variably take to drive change and transform the industry to become regenerative: Create financial mechanisms and market structures that support regenerative outcomes Empower farmers to build coalitions at the grassroots level Shape policy to build a resilient agricultural economy Build and demonstrate the business case for regenerative practices Engage with consumers to increase demand for regenerative products Prioritize nutritional benefits to enable healthy diets Mobilize landowners to enable regenerative practices to mainstream. All are underpinned by cross-sector and pre-competitive collaboration. The challenge is too great for any one organisation to tackle alone; working together to address systemic barriers, we just might. Find out more about regenerative agriculture.

What is futures? Futures, also known as strategic foresight and futurology, is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the likelihood of trends and events in the future, and of possible scenarios. Expand Futures, also known as strategic foresight and futurology, is an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the likelihood of trends and events in the future, and of possible scenarios. We use futures to help organisations grapple with uncertainty and change. By revealing the complex interplay of dynamic trends around us, and identifying risks, opportunities and powerful innovations, our futures work helps organisations to discover where to act for long-term success.

What is regenerative agriculture? Regenerative agriculture is one that puts back more into the environment and society than it takes out. Expand Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farming that puts back more into the environment and society than it takes out. As part of creating an agricultural system that is fit for the future, regenerative agriculture practices have the potential to create more resilient supply chains, restore soil health and enable farmers and businesses to thrive.

What is sustainability? Sustainability is a dynamic process which enables all people to realise their potential and to improve their quality of life in ways that simultaneously protect and enhance the Earth’s life support system. Expand Sustainability is a dynamic process which enables all people to realise their potential and to improve their quality of life in ways that simultaneously protect and enhance the Earth’s life support system. Sustainable development means being able to fulfil the needs of those living today without compromising the ability of future generations to fulfil their own needs.

What is systems change? Systems change is an approach we take to creating the big shift to a sustainable future. We use systems thinking to understand the web of interrelations that create complex problems, anticipate unintended consequences, and identify how and where to take action. Expand A system is a configuration of parts connected by a web of relationships towards a purpose. It can be an ecosystem, such as the marine environment, the food system or socially created systems such as education and health. Systems can be small, such as organisations, or large, such as the whole economy. A systems approach shifts the focus from individual parts to how the parts are organised, recognising that interactions of the parts are not static and constant but dynamic and fluid. Systemic change is where relationships between different aspects of the system have changed towards new outcomes and goals. And it’s driven by transformational, not incremental change.
