Regenerative agriculture is a key approach to sustainable farming, aiming to restore and enhance the health of ecosystems while improving agricultural productivity. This method focuses on rebuilding soil health, increasing biodiversity, and reducing reliance on synthetic inputs through practices such as crop rotation, cover cropping, and organic soil amendments. By training farmers in regenerative techniques, HDI helps them adopt practices that not only improve crop yields but also sequester carbon, conserve water, and promote resilience against climate change. Through these efforts, HDI supports the long-term sustainability of both the environment and local communities, ensuring that agricultural practices benefit the land and the people who depend on it.

HDI is promoting regenerative production through:

• In person and farm based training programs held in our 7 demonstration centres based in Kitui, Muranga, Kajiado, Kiambu, Kisii, Narok and Naukuru counties
• Working with farmers to set up small regenerative production farms and also supporting those who wish to setup demonstration farms as learning centres.
• Supporting farmers to create a production ecosystem in order to have mass production that can attract key market players
• Development of various value chains that purely move regenerative produce to the market like for mango, tomatoes and herbs in Kitui county.
