Summary
This Institute of Grocery Distribution (IGD) viewpoint report examines regenerative agriculture as a prospective mechanism for addressing multiple food system challenges including soil health, climate change, biodiversity and resilience. The report acknowledges that whilst regenerative agriculture is increasingly discussed as a solution pathway, both the evidence base and definitional consensus remain in development. The work appears designed to inform UK grocery sector and policy stakeholders on current thinking and gaps in this emerging area.
