From Practices to Outcomes
Our 6-3-4 Standard measures continuous progress in regenerative systems, both practices and outcomes, through the framework of the six principles of soil health, three rules of adaptive stewardship, and four ecosystem processes.
This progress is captured through 65+ data points gathered annually from boots-on-the-ground field visits and lab testing. Regenified is the first regenerative certifier approved by the USDA’s AMS Process Verified Program.
Real Data,
Real Progress
Regenified’s 6-3-4 Standard meets farmers where they are with clear, science-based protocols to evaluate both practices and the outcomes they deliver. Certification requires continuous improvement, with expectations for farms to advance to higher tiers over time by expanding regenerative practices and improving results.
Designed for Practical Application
No two operations are the same. Our tiered certification reflects the unique context of each farm or ranch while holding a high standard. We recognize the work farmers are doing to advance ecosystems on their land, and enable them to get recognized for theirimpact.
Recognition that Matters
The Regenified standard was built to reflect the real work it takes to regenerate ecosystems over time. Whether a farmer is early in their journey or decades into the work, the path to certification provides a way to demonstrate impact, meet a clear standard, and earn recognition that holds weight in the market.
Clear Data, Trusted Results
With more than 65 data points collected annually, Regenified farmers a clear view of where they are and how their land is responding. The insights they receive help track impact and support strong, transparent claims in the market. When a product carries the Certified Regenified mark, it means the farm behind it has achieved measurable progress that can be trusted.
Our Tiered Approach to Certification
Regenified’s tiers align to the current stage of a farm’s regenerative journey through the lens of our 6-3-4 verification standard, enabling farmers to assess how regeneration is advancing on their farm and equipping them with evidence, data, and insights to set it apart in the marketplace. Tier 2 certified and above producers can claim Certified Regenified status and use our official seal.
