Regenified's 6-3-4TM Verification Standard Paves the Way for Regenerative Agriculture
The future of agriculture is looking greener, thanks to the widespread adoption of regenerative farming practices. Salar Shemirani, Co-Founder and CEO of Regenified, is particularly pleased with Waitrose's recent commitment to regenerative agriculture.
Regenified's 6-3-4TM Verification Standard is a certification framework that guides and verifies farm practices through a structured set of principles, rules, and ecosystem processes. The standard encompasses:
- Six Principles of Soil Health, which focus on promoting healthy soils, carbon sequestration, and effective rainwater use.
- Three Rules of Adaptive Stewardship, which emphasize practices that foster biodiversity, pollinator habitats, and animal welfare.
- Four Ecosystem Processes, which include key elements of regenerative farming such as nutrient cycling, energy flow, and community resilience.
This standard provides a tangible, data-driven verification system, helping farmers improve and demonstrate sustainable management of soil, water, biodiversity, and animal welfare. By using verified field-level data and tools, Regenified supports farmers on their regenerative journey, meeting them where they are and helping to track ecological improvements at the farm level.
This approach not only strengthens regenerative outcomes but also provides transparency and credibility for regenerative claims in agricultural markets.
In a significant step forward, Waitrose Leckford vineyards and orchards have achieved Regenified Certification, marking a UK and pan-European first. This news is part of Waitrose's Farming for Nature initiative, announced in May this year, which aims to support biodiversity and environmental sustainability.
As we move towards a more sustainable future, the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices like those verified by Regenified's 6-3-4TM Verification Standard will play a crucial role. By promoting holistic farm ecosystem health and sustainability, we can ensure a brighter, greener future for all.
- The integration of regenerative agricultural practices, verified by Regenified's 6-3-4TM Verification Standard, is a crucial step towards promoting sustainability in science, specifically environmental-science, and combating climate-change.
- Adopting this standard in home-and-garden projects or lifestyle changes can contribute to sustainable-living, benefiting the environment and ensuring a greener future.
- AsWaitrose's Leckford vineyards and orchards have achieved Regenified Certification, other businesses in the agricultural sector could follow this example, fostering biodiversity, environmental sustainability, and regenerative agriculture on a larger scale.
