Regenerative Agriculture: A pathway to productive, sustainable, and resilient farming systems

This study evaluates the potential of regenerative agriculture (RA) to transform socio‑ecological systems into more productive, resilient, and sustainable systems in eastern Kenya. Using integrated practice bundles such as microdosing, manure application, and mulching, the study demonstrates significant improvements in crop yields, soil health, and water management. RA enhances soil biological, chemical, and physical properties, improves infiltration, reduces erosion, and supports biodiversity, including soil organisms like nematodes and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Tree diversity and agroforestry practices further contribute to climate mitigation and livelihood benefits. However, impacts are context-specific and constrained by policy, institutional, and capacity barriers. Strengthening governance, multi-stakeholder engagement, and innovation systems is essential to scale regenerative agriculture as a pathway for sustainable and equitable landscape transformation.
