About ReGeneration

ReGeneration operates as a mission-driven enterprise focused on accelerating the transition to regenerative agriculture. Founded in 2021 by Thomas Rabant, former strategy director at Limagrain Group, and Felix Noblia, a farmer, the company is headquartered in Bordeaux, France. ReGeneration's core business involves pre-financing the shift to agro-ecological practices for farmers without them bearing the initial cost or risk. This model addresses the financial hurdles that often prevent the adoption of sustainable methods which restore soil health, enhance biodiversity, and improve water retention.

The company's business model hinges on creating high-value environmental assets—primarily carbon credits—derived from these regenerative practices. ReGeneration establishes long-term partnerships with farmers, providing them with agronomic support for a minimum of five to ten years to ensure a successful transition. The company employs rigorous, scientifically-backed measurement protocols to quantify the resulting benefits, such as CO₂ sequestration, biodiversity gains, and water resource improvements. These measured outcomes are then used to issue carbon credits, which are certified against premier international standards like Verra to prevent greenwashing concerns.

Revenue is generated by selling these high-integrity carbon credits to corporations. This allows client companies to invest in a tangible, local, and measurable climate contribution, helping them meet their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives and comply with regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The proceeds from the credit sales are then used to compensate the farmers, creating a self-sustaining financial loop that fosters economic resilience for agricultural communities while regenerating ecosystems. The company also offers diagnostic services and supports insetting projects for businesses looking to decarbonize their own agricultural supply chains. Having gained recognition as a laureate of the Grand Prix Impact in the Sustainable Finance category, ReGeneration aims to expand its program to over 500 farmers across Europe.
