"Regenerative agriculture has become one of coffee industry's buzziest words of the decade, despite having no clear, universal definition in coffee or other sectors. While it is primarily associated with environmental stewardship - including soil regeneration and biodiversity - it has also become associated with climate resiliency, farmer profitability and even more abstract concepts such as corporate sustainability. GCP, meanwhile, says the RegenCoffee guidance is designed to help"
"The publication completes the first phase of a four-phase GCP initiative under the RegenCoffee name. "The threat to sustainable coffee production is real, but so is the opportunity," GCP Executive Director Annette Pensel said in an announcement of the launch. "By embracing regenerative agriculture in partnership with coffee farmers and governments, the coffee industry can mitigate these challenges while fostering a pathway to farmer prosperity and supply resilience.""
RegenCoffee is a guidance document published by the Global Coffee Platform to provide shared language and resources for regenerative agriculture in the coffee sector. Regenerative agriculture in coffee is associated with environmental stewardship, soil regeneration, biodiversity, climate resiliency and farmer profitability, despite lacking a universal definition. RegenCoffee aims to move the industry beyond scattered definitions and provide a common language for consistent sector-wide transition. The publication completes phase one of a four-phase initiative. Phase two will integrate the guidance into GCP's sustainability reference code in 2026. Later phases include national contextualization with in-country partners and field testing of results.
