At Agreena, we’re in the business of helping farmers change the world—one field at a time. Through regenerative agriculture, we’re bringing farming back to its roots. It’s an approach that works with nature rather than against it, restoring soil health, capturing carbon, and making farming not just sustainable but regenerative. It’s about turning the land into a living, breathing partner in the fight against climate change, all while ensuring better livelihoods for farmers and food security for society.

Where does Agreena fit into all this? We give farmers the tools and support they need to adopt these practices, from carbon credit programmes to farming insights backed by data. The result? A win for the planet, a win for farmers, and a win for food systems everywhere.

In the last harvest year, our farmers and their verified data took regenerative agriculture to new heights. Let’s dive into the crops, stats, and achievements that made this harvest so extraordinary.

We don’t just talk about change; we measure it. During last year’s harvest, Agreena collected and verified data from 2,000,000 hectares of farmland. To visualise that, picture an area the size of Paris. Now picture it 100 times - each one packed with regenerative farming insights.

Next year, we’re levelling up to 4,500,000 hectares. This scale isn’t just for show. Every hectare means more emissions reduced, more carbon captured, more resilient crops, and more sustainable food systems. When regenerative agriculture scales, everyone—from farmers to consumers—reaps the benefits.

Imagine enough cover crops to blanket New York City—that’s what Agreena Farmers achieved in 2023. These leafy legends aren’t just filling space; they’re working overtime to keep the soil happy and healthy between main crops.

Cover crops are like a spa day for the soil: they lock in moisture, stop erosion in its tracks, and pump the ground full of organic goodness. Their roots dig deep, breaking up compacted soil and making it easier for water and air to flow. And when they’re done? They decompose into a nutrient-packed treat for the next round of crops.

The best part? They cut down on synthetic fertilisers, making life easier (and cheaper) for farmers while keeping supply chains greener. Cover crops might not get the spotlight, but they’re the hidden heroes of regenerative farming!

Who knew manure could be so impressive? Over last year’s harvest, Agreena Farmers spread 243,000 tonnes of organic manure—heavier than the Wonder of the Seas, the largest cruise ship on Earth.

Why is this a big deal? Organic manure is rich in nutrients and carbon, feeding the soil and supporting microorganisms that keep it alive and productive. Unlike chemical fertilisers, it’s a closed-loop solution, turning farm waste into farm fuel. This means fewer emissions, healthier soils, and better crops—a win for farmers and the planet.

Wheat is a star of the show in regenerative farming, and in 2023, Agreena farmers produced 3,099,390 tonnes of it. That’s enough to potentially make 2.4 million tonnes of flour—the foundation for 6 billion loaves of bread.

But wheat isn’t just about bread. Its versatility is unmatched, from biscuits and beer to textiles and paper. Sustainably grown wheat doesn’t just fill plates; it supports industries far beyond the dinner table.

Our farmers don’t just grow food; they grow potential. Here are the crops that took centre stage this year:

1. 1

   Wheat: Wheat remains a cornerstone of agriculture, used in bread, pasta, and animal feed. Grouping winter and spring varieties reflects its year-round importance in food systems. This versatile crop sustains both diets and industries, supporting everything from baking to brewing.

2. 2

   Maize: Known in some parts as corn, maize is a staple for everything from tortillas to livestock feed. It’s also a major player in biofuels like ethanol, powering both meals and machines.

3. 3

   Sunflowers: These sunny giants aren’t just pretty—they’re the source of sunflower oil, a kitchen essential, and protein-rich snacks. The leftover seeds? Great for livestock feed.

4. 4

   Beans: High in protein and low in emissions, beans are the backbone of plant-based diets and animal feeds as an excellent alternative to soya. They also enrich the soil by fixing nitrogen, making them a favourite for crop rotations.

5. 5

   Rapeseed: A versatile oilseed crop valued for its high-quality oil and protein-rich meal. A staple in biofuel production and cooking oils, it’s also a key player in crop rotations. Its deep roots improve soil structure, while its bright yellow flowers support pollinators, making it a win for both farming and the environment.

6. 6

   Barley: Barley is a multi-tasker in brewing, animal feed, and food products like soups and stews. Grouping winter and spring barley highlights its adaptability to different growing conditions, ensuring it plays a vital role across diverse industries.

These crops support industries, boost food security, and keep soils thriving.

Last year’s harvest was a landmark year for Agreena Farmers and regenerative agriculture. From feeding billions to cutting carbon, every hectare mattered. Looking ahead to this year’s harvest data, we’re excited to grow even bigger, bolder, and greener.

For those passionate about food and agricultural sustainability, these achievements are just the beginning. The next chapter of regenerative farming is about to unfold—stay tuned!
