ReGen AGRI

ongoing

ReGen AGRI

Agricultural nutrient runoff is shared challenge in Estonia, Latvia, and Finland, as compacted soils, poor soil structure, and low nutrient efficiency lead to nutrient losses. While regenerative practices can restore soil health, improve water infiltration, and enhance nutrient cycling, most farmers lack the knowledge, tools, and networks to adopt them, and supportive policy frameworks are still limited. The overall objective of ReGen AGRI is to establish a collaborative platform that enables farmers to test, adapt, and scale regenerative soil management and nutrient-efficient practices. The project will demonstrate how these methods reduce nutrient losses, strengthen soil fertility, and make farming both environmentally and economically more sustainable.

Expected results

The expected change is measurable reductions in nitrogen and phosphorus loads alongside higher returns for farmers from improved soil health. 21 pilot farms implement trial-based nutrient management roadmaps. Then the consolidated case studies and recommendations after 3 seasons of testing are composed. Farmer-to-farmer learning in discussion groups, workshops, and field days reaching about 120 farms take place. Direct beneficiaries are farmers adopting regenerative methods, while advisory bodies, policymakers, and rural communities benefit from validated knowledge and stronger frameworks for soil and nutrient management.
