Regenerative agriculture practices --- such as agroforestry; biochar; composting; cover cropping; erosion control; Integrated Pest Management (IPM); efficient irrigation; mulching; multi-cropping; organic waste processing; precision ag; reduced or no-till; renewable energy; regenerative livestock integration; and synthetic fertilizer reduction --- can help improve the efficiency; resilience; and sustainability of agricultural production systems; and reduce and reverse losses of natural resources. However; there is no single definition for regenerative agriculture; nor is there an agreed upon minimum set of practices to qualify a farming system as regenerative. Nevertheless; in recent years there have been an increasing number of organizations and businesses that have made public commitments (and targets) to adopt or promote regenerative agricultural practices. Some of these organizations aim to reduce GHG emissions in their supply chain by adopting regenerative agriculture. In this respect; IFC proposes to work with a leading academic / research institution (or a combination of a consulting firm and an academic institution) to help: (i) explore the different agricultural practices that are included under the regenerative label; (ii) do a meta-analysis to statistically analyze existing empirical research and combine results to present the GHG abatement potential of these different practices; and (iii) summarize a list of farm level practices that would have the largest climate mitigation impact.
