Bringing Regenerative Outcomes to Life at Landscape Scale

Regen10 partners with LandScale to translate shared regenerative ambition into measurable landscape progress 

The regenerative agriculture movement has reached a critical juncture. While momentum is building across sectors—farmers experimenting with new practices, businesses making sourcing commitments, funders directing capital toward regenerative transitions—a fundamental question persists: are we aligned on what regenerative and agroecological approaches must achieve to support thriving landscapes and resilient food systems? 

Without shared outcomes to guide progress, the movement risks fragmentation. One initiative may prioritize soil carbon while overlooking labor rights. Another may track biodiversity but miss governance dynamics. Adding to this challenge, farmers and other value chain actors must navigate competing frameworks with differing indicators—none of which fully capture the reality of true regeneration.  

This is the problem Regen10 set out to solve: creating a shared reference for what regenerative agrifood systems should deliver across both farm and landscape levels, developed through extensive consultation with farmers, Indigenous Peoples, businesses, conservation groups, and civil society globally. 

But frameworks are only as valuable as their practical application—how they inform decisions, shape strategies, and enable measurement in real-world conditions. That’s why Regen10’s partnership with LandScale matters.

From Shared Outcomes to Applied Assessment 

Regen10’s Outcomes Framework, being finalized for public release in 2026, defines regenerative outcomes across 12 dimensions spanning ecological, social, economic, and governance systems. It’s designed not to prescribe practices or mandate specific indicators, but to provide a shared structure that diverse actors can adapt to their contexts while maintaining alignment on what matters for regeneration. 

The Framework operates at two scales: farm-level outcomes that farmers and land stewards can work toward directly, and landscape-level outcomes that emerge from coordination among multiple actors across the broader ecosystem in which farms are embedded and require systems-level change to achieve. 

That landscape level is where the challenge gets complex. How do you assess whether a territory is moving toward regenerative outcomes when transformation requires coordinated action across farms, businesses, governments, and communities? How do you track progress when regeneration isn’t just about what happens on individual farms, but about the enabling conditions—policy support, market access, tenure security, ecosystem connectivity—that shape whether those farms can succeed? 

This is where LandScale’s work to operationalize the assessment of landscape-level regenerative outcomes becomes critical. 

Applying the Regen10 Outcomes Framework via Landscape Assessment 

LandScale, whose assessment process is used across over 40 landscapes spanning more than 25 countries, has developed a Regenerative Agriculture Assessment Lens that operationalizes Regen10’s landscape-level outcomes. It translates these outcomes into a practical methodology that landscape initiatives can use to evaluate conditions, track progress, and identify where interventions are most needed. 

Developed in collaboration with Regen10, the Rainforest Alliance, The Nature Conservancy, Field to Market, and Sustainable Food Trust, the Assessment Lens builds on LandScale’s established Assessment Framework, adapting and integrating indicators specifically relevant to regenerative transitions as a distinct entry point for landscape-level assessment. 

Critically, the Assessment Lens links to Regen10’s Outcomes Framework, ensuring measurements are grounded in a credible, cross-sectoral reference for what regenerative and agroecological approaches should achieve. This creates alignment: landscape initiatives using LandScale’s assessment are evaluating progress against a holistic set of outcomes that matter to farmers, businesses, conservation actors, and communities—not the sole priorities of one organization or sector. 

For Regen10, this partnership offers practical grounding of the Outcomes Framework. As landscape initiatives apply LandScale’s Assessment Lens across diverse geographies—starting with several landscapes in the USA—we’ll gather evidence on how our Outcomes Framework reflects real-world priorities, where refinements are needed, and the ways in which landscape-level change takes shape. 

Why the Farm-Landscape Connection is Key for Regeneration 

Most regenerative agriculture monitoring today centres on individual farms—tracking practices, inputs, and yields. While this is critical, it overlooks the wider ecological and social dynamics that determine whether regenerative change is taking hold at scale. 

Regenerative outcomes don’t happen in isolation. A farmer’s ability to improve soil health depends on access to appropriate inputs, technical knowledge, and markets that reward the investment, as well as the health of the wider ecosystem they are a part of. Biodiversity outcomes—such as habitat connectivity—require ecological integrity beyond farm boundaries. Fair livelihoods depend on complex value chain dynamics and clear and favorable policy environments. 

A landscape perspective can help reveal these interdependencies. It can uncover how farm-level efforts connect to watershed health, how governance structures enable or constrain farmer decision-making, and how barriers to market access limit who can participate in regenerative transitions. It makes visible the systemic conditions that determine whether regenerative and agroecological approaches scale or stall. 

This is why Regen10 designed the Outcomes Framework to operate at both farm and landscape levels from the start. Farmers need clarity on outcomes they can influence directly. But they also need landscape-level actors—businesses, governments, funders, civil society—to address the systemic barriers that farm-level action alone can’t overcome. 

LandScale’s Assessment Lens provides the methodology to track how these landscape conditions are changing over time, fostering accountability beyond individual farms. 

Building Coherence Across the Regenerative Ecosystem 

The regenerative agriculture space is crowded with frameworks, standards, and measurement tools. This isn’t inherently bad—different contexts require different approaches. But without coherence, fragmentation undermines the movement’s credibility and burdens farmers with competing demands. 

Regen10’s strategy is to enable alignment without imposing uniformity. The Outcomes Framework provides a shared reference point for what regenerative agrifood systems can and should deliver. This allows diverse actors to build alignment around what we want to collectively achieve while retaining flexibility in how to implement, measure, and verify progress. 

LandScale demonstrates how this works in practice. Their Assessment Lens operationalizes Regen10’s Framework at the landscape scale, providing the assessment methodology our Framework doesn’t define. Together, the two tools are complementary: Regen10 defines the outcomes that matter, and LandScale provides a credible process for measuring progress toward them. 

This creates coherence without consolidation. This is the kind of ecosystem integration the regenerative movement needs—not uniform approaches, but diverse efforts aligned through common reference points that enable comparison, learning, and coordination. 

What’s Coming Next for Regen10 

As LandScale pilots the Regenerative Agriculture Assessment Lens across landscapes globally, Regen10 will be tracking what we learn. Which outcomes prove most relevant across contexts? Where do landscapes struggle to make progress despite farm-level efforts? What enabling conditions matter most for regenerative transitions? 

These insights will inform ongoing refinement of the Outcomes Framework, ensuring it stays grounded in real-world application rather than theoretical aspiration. 

We’re also exploring how the Framework can support other applications beyond landscape assessment—informing investment decisions, guiding policy design, shaping business sourcing strategies, supporting farmer-led planning. LandScale’s work demonstrates one critical use case. Others are emerging. 

The regenerative agriculture movement is at an inflection point. Momentum is building, but appropriately, so is scrutiny. To maintain credibility and deliver on ambition, we need clarity on outcomes, alignment across actors, and credible measurement of progress. 

Regen10’s partnership with LandScale contributes to all three. By grounding landscape assessment in shared regenerative outcomes, we’re helping to build the infrastructure the movement needs to scale with integrity.
