Regenerative Agriculture Certification
The AENOR certification in Regenerative Agriculture based on the Epigen Healthy Bite® model promotes sustainable agricultural practices, restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity and improving climate resilience
Sustainable Innovation to Restore Ecosystems and Soil Health
The 2030 Agenda poses challenges for agricultural production based on the sustainability of crops and the means of production, objectives that are aligned with values that society currently demands.
Soils are an essential resource that must be conserved in order to maintain both the productive capacity and the quality of the food produced.
Thus, Regenerative Agriculture is a production system that attaches great importance to maintaining and improving soil fertility to achieve a new balance in the soil-crop ecosystem.
What aspects are valued in this certification?
The importance of maintaining and increasing the content of organic matter, as well as the development of the native microbiome of soils (microorganisms).
The Epigen Healthy Bite® Model
After years of study looking for management alternatives to traditional cultivation systems, a methodology has been developed with proven results.
It contemplates the application of a series of good practices and cultivation techniques that, in a coordinated way, will allow a new balance to be achieved between the soil and the plant.
Cultivation techniques include minimum tillage and proper weed management, efficiency in the use of irrigation water, planting and crop planning, rotations, promotion of biodiversity in the production environment, use of machinery, plant nutrition and pest and disease management.
During the audits, compliance with the set of good practices is assessed, as well as indicators that serve as a basis for monitoring the degree of soil regeneration.
It is a certification aimed at producers.
