3 most widely implemented practices of regenerative agriculture are: crop rotation, maintaining soil fertility by adding nutrients, and monitoring soil health (Bayer AG, 2024).

540 billion dollars are spent annually on producer support, two-thirds of which distort prices and damage the environment (FAO, UNDP and UNEP, 2021).
