The first global standard built around tropical regenerative agriculture and Brazilian realities — covering soil regeneration, biodiversity, animal welfare, and ESG criteria. Audited by QIMA and aligned with the UN SDGs and the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).
A Single Certification for True Regenerative Agriculture
Farmers face ‘audit overload’, environmental permits, phytosanitary plans, traceability rules, social compliance. Yet self-declared “regenerative” claims lack third-party proof. Regenera For Farm & Livestock answers this with:
28 Regenera criteria covering soil health, nutrient management, IPM, Bio-inputs produced on-farm, biodiversity, water, GHG, labor & human rights, animal welfare, governance
Built-in EUDR deforestation-free baseline (no deforestation post 31 Dec 2020, EU 2023/1115)
Tiered Bronze→Silver→Gold→Diamond recognition to show your continuous improvement
Integrated social and environmental audit + monitoring of soil physical-chemical and biological quality" Talk to an Expert →

Trends & Market Drivers
Global markets are demanding more than sustainability claims Brazilian producers are facing increasing pressure from international buyers, retailers, and food brands to demonstrate traceability, responsible land management, and measurable environmental practices — especially as global ESG expectations continue to rise ahead of COP30 in Brazil.
Deforestation-free supply chains are becoming a business requirement New regulations like the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) are reshaping global agricultural trade and increasing the need for documented, traceable supply chains for commodities such as cattle, soy, coffee, and cocoa exported from Brazil.
Regenerative livestock and farming practices are opening new market opportunities Sustainable cattle production and regenerative agriculture programs are gaining momentum across Brazil as producers look to improve productivity, strengthen market positioning, and align with growing buyer expectations around environmental responsibility.
Major food companies are already investing in regenerative sourcing Leading global food brands including Nestlé, BRF, JBS, and Danone are expanding investments in regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, and sustainable sourcing initiatives as part of their long-term supply chain and climate commitments.
Traceability and ESG verification are becoming competitive differentiators As buyers demand greater transparency across the supply chain, companies that can demonstrate verified regenerative and sustainable practices are becoming better positioned to access export markets, strengthen commercial relationships, and support long-term business growth.
