Transforming 3 million hectares in Latin America into Regenerative Landscapes
Our mission
We regenerate landscapes so that agriculture and livestock ranching operate in synergy with nature.
We work to transform the agrifood system in Latin America, driving regenerative models that restore ecosystems, strengthen rural economies, and increase climate resilience. We believe that agriculture and livestock ranching can serve as a bridge connecting nature with community well-being.
Why ?
Latin America is a critical region for the planet: a territory harboring nearly 50% of global biodiversity, alongside vast water reserves, forests, savannas, rivers, and the critical ecosystem services upon which life depends. Simultaneously, the region is the world's largest net exporter of food across multiple commoditie
This dual reality poses an urgent challenge: while agriculture sustains millions of families, jobs, and rural economies, the agricultural sector has also accelerated soil degradation, consumes nearly two-thirds of the region's available freshwater, drives deforestation, and generates almost half of the region's GHG emissions.
How can we conserve nature while ensuring resilient food production amidst population growth and increasingly frequent climate shocks?
Against this backdrop, regenerative agriculture and livestock ranching emerge as a concrete and promising response: a production approach that not only strengthens productivity and local economies but also restores soils, biodiversity, and water cycles, contributing to healthy and sustainable diets.
Our goals
3M
hectares
under improved management and transitioning toward Regenerative Agriculture and Livestock Ranching in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, and Paraguay.
22K
people benefiting
from resilient economic opportunities in regenerative landscapes.
20%
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
within the impact area through the implementation of regenerative production systems.
120M
euros in additional financing
mobilized across the five countries.
¿Qué We Seek
Restore soil, water, and biodiversity health in strategic landscapes.
Increase long-term productivity and profitability.
Reduce dependency on external inputs.
Empower rural communities with stable incomes and inclusive governance.
Drive more diverse and nutritious food systems.
Contribute to climate mitigation and adaptation in Latin America.
What we do
We act across five key dimensions of the agrifood system:
1
Forge alliances to scale regeneration
2
Facilitate access to knowledge, evidence, and technical assistance
3
Co-design regenerative business models
4
Drive private and public financing mechanisms
5
Promote enabling conditions through public policy
How we do it
Our approach is built on three core pillars:
1
We prioritize principles, not just practices.
We do not promote one-size-fits-all approaches. We work with regenerative principles that adapt to each territory and agricultural culture.
Diversity and synergistic integration
Promotes the diversity of species, people, and livelihoods according to local conditions, integrating farm and landscape through cooperation among stakeholders and territories.
Recycling and efficient resource use
Fosters the rational use of local renewable resources and the closing of energy, nutrient, and water cycles to reduce external dependency and negative impacts.
Resilience
Strengthens the agrifood system's capacity to withstand ecological and socioeconomic shocks, learn from them, and recover.
Agrobiodiversity and food culture
Protects and promotes agrobiodiversity as the foundation of nutritious, diverse, and culturally appropriate diets for farmers and consumers.
Knowledge co-production and inclusive governance
Drives fair decision-making, local capacity building, and community participation in policies and markets that foster regenerative practices.
Circular and regenerative economy
Reduces social and environmental impacts across value chains, connects producers and consumers, and promotes fair and sustainable local markets.
2
We evaluate outcomes, not just interventions.
We measure impact on biodiversity, water, soils, climate, economic well-being, and food security to demonstrate that regeneration yields verifiable results.
Biodiversity enrichment
Production incorporates practices that increase genetic, crop, species, and habitat diversity, strengthening ecosystem services and system resilience.
Water resource optimization and quality
Water use, availability, and quality are improved through practices that reduce pollution, recirculate resources, and optimize hydrological cycles.
Healthy soils
Regenerative practices protect soil structure, biology, and fertility, enabling the recovery of its ecological function and maintaining long-term productivity.
Climate mitigation and adaptation
Landscape and soil management contribute to carbon sequestration, reduce emissions, and increase crop and producer resilience to climate change.
Economic well-being
Profitability is improved and costs are reduced through more resilient, diversified systems with expanded market opportunities.
Prosperous communities
The regenerative transition strengthens social cohesion, generates new local economic opportunities, and improves the quality of life in rural territories.
Food security, health, and nutrition
Diversified systems elevate the availability of nutritious food, promote healthy diets, and reinforce community food sovereignty.

We bridge stakeholders to achieve systemic transformation.
We connect producers, companies, governments, funders, and researchers to rewrite the rules of the agrifood system across multiple dimensions: public policy, business models, financing, and knowledge.
Key Elements of Our Approach
Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA)
We promote solutions that leverage biodiversity and ecosystem services as the foundation for increasing the climate and productive resilience of territories.
Systems thinking
We intervene at multiple levels of the system—landscape, value chain, policies, and financial incentives—to achieve lasting and scalable change.
