Ensuring the long-term viability of your nature-based supply chain

Do you want to work closely with your suppliers to secure critical natural resources your compay depends on? Supply chains that are heavily reliant on agricultural raw materials are becoming increasingly exposed to growing physical and economic risks: more frequent droughts, soil degradation, water stress and declining yields. These risks directly threaten the long-term viability of supply chains.

At the same time, strengthening regulatory requirements and corporate commitments - including the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and the SBTi FLAG framework - are accelerating the need to demonstrate traceable, regenerative agricultural practices.

Receive end-to-end support to implement regenerative agricultural models that secure the economic viability of your supply chains, while demonstrating their environmental and climate benefits in your reporting.

Secure your agricultural sourcing
INSETTING
A regenerative agriculture program,from design to impact

Our "Regenerative Agriculture Program" supports companies in developing regenerative agriculture projects within their priority sourcing regions. We help clients anticipate the risks affecting their supply chains and design regenerative strategies aligned with their operational realities and growing sustainability requirements. Our team of agronomy experts provides tailored, end-to-end support: from initial diagnosis to results integration - including the design of technical farming and agroforestry practices and on-the-ground implementation.

Why does our program ensure robust and traceable impact measurement? Because our expertise combines field monitoring with advanced remote sensing to track and demonstrate impacts over time.

We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your sourcing region. We analyze forest dynamics and the agricultural context, and identify key climate risks such as droughts, fires or floods. At the end of this phase, you obtain the preliminary design of the project framework, as well as an initial projection of potential climate and biodiversity impacts, which enables you to prioritize action levers.
Agroforestry to strengthensupply chain resilience

Agroforestry is a core component of regenerative agriculture. It involves integrating trees into agricultural systems through various forms and requires advanced agronomic and forestry expertise to be implemented effectively. By choosing agroforestry, you generate multiple environmental, agronomic and socio-economic benefits:

For soil and water systems
You reduce soil erosion, limit runoff and improve water infiltration, supporting long-term soil structure and fertility.

For the microclimate
You protect crops from wind and heat stress, creating cooler and more stable microclimates during periods of high temperatures, cold or intense sunlight.

For biodiversity
You support the return of beneficial species, enhance soil biodiversity, and reinforce ecological balances that help regulate pests.

For farmers
You diversify production through tree-based outputs (fruit, nuts, timber), creating additional income streams and improving the long-term economic viability of farms.

One solution. Multiple applications

Deploy agroforestry programs at European scale

A structured transition and support for farmers in hedgerow planting.

Secure volumes of regenerative production in tropical regions

A lasting improvement in environmental performance and a long-term economic advantage in sourcings

Strengthen production resilience in the face of climate change

Long-term security of agricultural sourcing against extreme climate events, particularly droughts.

EXPERTISE

What sets us apart

  • Recognized agroforestry expertise: we have combined expertise in forestry and sustainable agriculture since 2010, with more than 130 agroforestry and/or regenerative agriculture projects implemented on the ground.

  • Hybrid impact measurement approach: we offer a differentiated impact measurement approach, combining field monitoring and remote sensing within an MRV platform integrating more than 25 digitized indicators.

  • Broad geographic reach and commodity coverage: we operate across temperate and tropical regions, covering a wide range of agricultural commodities (arable crops, cotton, rubber, gum arabic, cashmere, etc.).

In their own words

Camille Caron

It is much more than merely a sustainability initiative; it is a project of hope, of reconnection with the land and of scientific study.

Our collaboration with Reforest’Action has gone hand in hand with internal discussions and shaped our commitment. […] and we have decided to develop a regenerative agriculture project at the heart of our cotton fibre supply chain. It is much more than merely a sustainability initiative; it is a project of hope, of reconnection with the land and of scientific study. […] It is a major first step, one which is bringing us back to the origin of our clothing and closer to the actual situation on the ground.

Together, we’re translating regenerative ambition into practical models

Cargill has worked for many years to advance regenerative agriculture across our supply chains. Partnering with Reforest’Action has helped us to expand into agroforestry while strengthening the technical, financial and measurement frameworks behind the work. Together, we’re translating regenerative ambition into practical models that support farmers and resonates with customers.
