Why regenerative agriculture?
Resilient supply chains depend on healthy ecosystems
Fashion relies on nature. Cotton, wool, leather, all these materials come from living landscapes that are increasingly degraded by climate shocks, soil depletion, and biodiversity loss. Without healthy ecosystems, long-term access to high-quality natural materials is at risk. Regenerative agriculture offers a solution. Rather than doing less harm, it actively restores soil health, strengthens biodiversity, and improves ecosystem function. It is outcome-based, rooted in both science and traditional knowledge, and essential for building resilient supply chains in a changing world.
