Introduction
Regenerative agriculture has moved from niche concept to corporate procurement standard in five years. Leading global FMCG and food brands have committed to regenerative sourcing across millions of hectares. Carbon markets are creating new agricultural revenue lines. EUDR is forcing supply-chain traceability that aligns naturally with regenerative practice. The science is increasingly clear: regenerative systems often outperform conventional ones on drought resilience, input cost and total margin once external inputs and subsidies are properly accounted.
This GLOMACS Regenerative Agriculture & Soil-Carbon Strategy training course covers the soil science, agronomic practice, commercial economics and carbon-market mechanics of regenerative agriculture. The focus is on what works in dryland, tropical and pastoral contexts — the systems most relevant to delegates from Asia, the Middle East and Africa.
Objectives
By the end of this Regenerative Agriculture & Soil-Carbon Strategy training course, delegates will be able to:
• Apply the five regenerative principles to specific production systems
• Measure soil health using a combined biological, chemical and physical assessment
• Design grazing management systems using holistic planned grazing principles
• Specify cover-crop mixes appropriate to climate and rotation
• Build an agroforestry plan including species selection and stand structure
• Evaluate carbon-credit project options under Verra, Gold Standard and Plan Vivo methodologies
• Quantify the regenerative business case: input cost, yield trajectory, premium pricing, carbon revenue
• Design a corporate regenerative sourcing programme
Training Methodology
A practitioner-led training course combining soil science, agronomic practice and commercial frameworks. The trainer adapts content delivery to the production systems most relevant to the delegate cohort, with depth in dryland, tropical and pastoral contexts.
Who should Attend?
This GLOMACS Regenerative Agriculture & Soil-Carbon Strategy training course is built for:
• Sustainability and supply chain sustainability leaders at FMCG and food brands
• Large farm, ranch and plantation operators
• Carbon project developers, validators and verifiers
• Agricultural NGO programme managers
• Development finance and impact investor staff evaluating regenerative assets
• Government agricultural extension and rural development leaders
• Cooperative and producer-organisation managers
Foundations: Soil, Carbon and the Regenerative Principles
- The five regenerative principles: armour, disturbance, diversity, roots, integration
- Soil science fundamentals: structure, microbiology, carbon cycling
- Soil health assessment: visual evaluation, infiltration, biology, nutrient cycling
- The carbon question: above-ground versus below-ground, sequestration versus reduction
- Distinguishing regenerative from sustainable, conservation and organic systems
Crop Systems: Cover Crops, Rotations and Conservation Tillage
- Cover crop selection: species, mixes, termination
- Diverse rotation design including cash, cover and intercrops
- No-till and reduced-till transitions
- Composting, biological amendments and biochar
- Pest and disease management in regenerative systems
Livestock, Grazing and Integration
- Holistic planned grazing: principles and practice
- Adaptive multi-paddock grazing
- Stocking rate and rangeland health diagnostics
- Animal-crop integration: stubble grazing, manure cycling, dual-purpose systems
- Pastoralist regenerative systems in arid regions
Agroforestry, Perennials and Tropical Systems
- Agroforestry system types: alley, silvopastoral, multistrata
- Species selection: trees for shade, nitrogen, fruit, fodder, timber
- Tropical regenerative systems: coffee, cocoa, banana, palm
- Perennial crop systems and orchard regenerative management
- Smallholder regenerative transitions and the cooperative model
The Business Case and Carbon Markets
- The regenerative cost-benefit case: input cost, yield trajectory, drought resilience
- Premium pricing and brand procurement programmes
- Carbon-credit project mechanics: methodologies, verification, monitoring
- Soil-carbon and agricultural methodologies under Verra, Gold Standard and Plan Vivo
- Corporate regenerative sourcing programme design
- Upon successful completion of this training course, GLOMACS Certificate will be awarded to the delegates. Continuing Professional Education credits (CPE): In accordance with the standards of the National Registry of CPE Sponsors, one CPE credit is granted per 50 minutes of attendance
