• Mitigation of climate change: 
  Soils rich in organic matter act as carbon sinks, helping capture and store atmospheric CO₂. Regenerative practices also reduce emissions from fertilizers and tillage, making farming more climate-resilient.
• Optimizing resources and nutrient cycle:
  Regenerative agriculture aims to reduce external inputs by improving natural nutrient cycling. Techniques like composting, cover cropping, and precision application lower fertilizer use and minimize nutrient loss.  
• Improve water quality and use-efficiency:
  Healthy soils absorb and retain water more effectively, reducing runoff and erosion. This protects water quality and ensures crops get the moisture they need with less irrigation.  
• Restore environment & biodiversity: 
  More diverse plant species and reduced chemical inputs create a healthier environment for insects, microbes, and wildlife. Biodiversity improves natural pest control, pollination, and system resilience.
• Recover and improve soil health:
  The soil is arguably the most important factor during plant growth. The soil is classified based on three components: physical, chemical and biological. Physical refers to structure, chemical includes pH and nutrient levels, and biological life support nutrient cycling and plant protection. Together, they support strong plant growth, efficient nutrient use, water retention, and carbon storage, among other things. To achieve optimal yields, the soil should also function optimal. The process of carbon capture as organic matter boost yields, an increase of 1% OM can increase yield by 10%.

With half of the soil in the world degraded and 18-36% of the soil compacted in the upper soil layer in Europe makes the soil a suitable starting point which connects to regenerative agriculture. In addition, biodiversity is being reduced in large quantities, which has impact on millions of animals, plants and humans. 80% of emissions coming from over-fertilization could be reduced without threatening food production. Global warming causes climate change and extreme weather which results in less yield and 33% of global emissions is coming from agriculture.

These are all numbers which show why interest in sustainable and regenerative agriculture grows, within the whole food chain. Compared to the broader concept of sustainability, regenerative agriculture puts more emphasis on soil health, biodiversity, and long-term ecological balance. The level of adoption and support still differs across countries and industries, depending on local policies and priorities. However, around the world, there is a growing investment in regenerative agriculture through funding for research, innovation, and subsidies. The European Union also have taken a liking for sustainable agriculture, and they give out subsidies to regenerative practises, mostly via CAP (Common Agricultural Policy). Major food corporations are also increasingly incorporating regenerative principles into their sourcing policies to meet consumer demand for sustainable products.
