Regenerative agriculture: a proven, replicable solution to store carbon
Long-established and well-mastered practices
Low / no tillage
Reduction of chemical inputs
Cover crops
Biodiversity – Crop rotation
Regenerative agriculture increases the amount of carbon stored sustainably in the soil
1.2 ton of CO2 per hectare et per year
sequestered on average
Farmers: key players and beneficiaries of regeneration
Farmers are the key players in this agroecological transition, adopting agricultural practices that are more respectful of soils and nature.
The CO₂ sequestration resulting from their practices is measured and leads to the issuance of carbon credits.
The sale of these carbon credits enables farmers to finance their transition, reducing the risks associated with their efforts and providing them with greater long-term economic resilience.
How it works
1. Farm selection and agronomic support.
We source farmers willing to join the agroecological transition program and provide on-site support with a dedicated agronomist for a minimum of 5 years.
2. Soil carbon measurement.
We have developed highly rigorous measurement protocols, ensuring precise and comprehensive soil assessments, in order to monitor CO₂ storage progress in a reliable, real, and traceable manner.
3. Issuance of high-quality, verified carbon credits.
We issue independently verified carbon credits approved by the VERRA registry, and farmers are compensated.
ReGeneration:
A robust model for a global contribution to nature regeneration
Agronomic support
Our farmers are committed for a minimum of 10 years. During that period, they benefit from personalized support provided by our agronomists offering on-site guidance.
On-Site measurements
ReGeneration has built some of the most advanced measurement protocols (soil organic carbon, satellite imagery, etc.) in collaboration with leading scientists and high-level technical partners.
Measurement of co-benefits beyond carbon
Our protocols enable precise and rigorous quantification of improvements in biodiversity and water resources within the projects.
Our carbon credits :
the highest quality on the market
Verification
ReGeneration credits are certified by third-party verifiers in accordance with our methodology approved by the VERRA registry.
Rigor
The credit fully measures carbon sequestration in soils, distinguishing emissions generated by the project.
Additionnality
The positive climate impact would not have occurred without the funding and support provided to our farmers for adopting new practices.
Permanence
We guarantee the permanence of carbon sequestration through advanced monitoring over 40 years and a 20% credit buffer within the VERRA registry.

Credits are financing instruments for the agroecological transition, enabling companies to achieve their climate goals while contributing to the regeneration of ecosystems.
Investing in the long-term renewal of natural resources creates lasting value for your company, supporting its transition to becoming a more regenerative business.
FAQ
With ReGeneration, you can support transition projects in France and Belgium, and more specifically in the region where your company is located, if desired. Several hundred farmers from France and Belgium have already joined our program. You choose the region, and we select the appropriate farmers. This way, you know exactly who you are supporting and what regenerative measures are being implemented. Of course, you can also visit the farmers in your region to see the positive changes “on the ground”.
Yes, our methodology has been independently validated by Bureau Veritas and is in the process of being certified by the international organization Verra, under VM0042 methodology. It incorporates essential quality criteria for carbon credits based on agriculture projects, such as additionality, permanence, avoidance of carbon leakage, and prevention of double counting. A verification by Verra is conducted annually.
As part of this process, Verra ensures that each certificate is accurately calculated in accordance with the validated methodology. Additionally, the accuracy of data provided by farmers is verified through detailed data checks and on-site audits of their farms.
The carbon credits issued by ReGeneration meet the requirements of the CSRD Directive, particularly the ESRS E1-7 disclosure requirement, which states that carbon credits must be verified in accordance with recognized quality standards. Our credits are currently being certified by Verra (VM0042), whose standards ensure compliance with the necessary criteria: additionality, permanence, avoidance of double counting, and transparent rules for the calculation, monitoring, and verification of greenhouse gas emissions.
We provide you with all the necessary information upfront about the fundamental principles of regenerative agriculture, our methodology, and our processes.
You are free to define the quantity of carbon credits you wish to acquire. The amount can be calculated based on your unavoidable emissions, but this is not mandatory. Many companies choose to make a fixed investment in projects they find particularly relevant, without labeling it as carbon offsetting.
Next, we will propose a selection of farmers based on your criteria, including those located near your company’s sites, to generate your carbon credits. We also offer support to help you highlight your commitment through communication initiatives – an investment in preserving biodiversity, ensuring food security, and combating climate change in your region.
By choosing “contribution” carbon credits like those we offer, you have the opportunity to support climate protection projects in a way similar to carbon offsetting. The key difference lies in the objective: it’s not just about offsetting your emissions by focusing solely on minimizing the cost of credits to maximize the quantity of emissions offset.
The idea is to prioritize impact: you choose to support projects that provide superior quality and environmental impact. These projects deliver benefits that go beyond combating climate change, such as preserving biodiversity, protecting water resources, and supporting the economic resilience of farms.
