Regenerative Agriculture & Soil-Carbon Strategy

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.
