Abstract

Regenerative agriculture has become a leading approach in transforming agrifood systems, focusing on restoring ecosystem functionality while preserving agricultural productivity. In contrast to sustainability-focused methods that typically prioritize reducing negative impacts, regenerative agriculture aims for net-beneficial results regarding soil vitality, biodiversity, climate stability, and economic resilience. Even with growing acceptance and policy attention, the notion is still variably defined, and empirical data are inconsistent. This paper integrates existing scientific literature to evaluate the condition of regenerative agriculture, its main objectives, recorded results, and future research and application viewpoints. We assess prevailing practices, environmental and socio-economic goals, along with methodological hurdles in assessing regenerative systems. We also highlight significant research gaps concerning metrics, scalability, and governance. The study finds that regenerative agriculture offers considerable promises for climate-resilient and multifunctional food systems; however, it needs standardized frameworks, extensive empirical research, and cohesive policy backing to evolve from an aspirational idea to a data-driven agricultural approach.
