Transition Pathways Cost-Benefit Tool & Methodology
Our Cost-Benefit Tool and Methodology are designed to help users understand the economic implications of shifting to regenerative and agroecological approaches across whole landscapes.
The methodology captures the complexity and context-specific nature of transitions while offering a practical foundation for designing more inclusive, viable, and locally-driven pathways. The Cost-Benefit Tool allows users to model the current and future profitability of agricultural systems and explore the potential impacts of regenerative transition on cost, performance, and resilience.
Overview of all Transition Pathways Findings
Our Transition Pathways analysis looks at the cost of moving landscapes from conventional to regenerative agricultural approaches to help farmers and other relevant actors understand the trade-offs and returns of embarking on this journey. We have now published our findings in a series of reports.
We’ve focused our analysis, which models the expected economic outcomes over a 10-year period, on landscapes that produce the world’s most consumed foods: Querencia City in Brazil (soy and beef), Punjab State (rice), North Dakota (wheat and maize), East England (potatoes) Waikato Region in New Zealand (dairy), and Kenya’s Murang’a County (tea, maize and beans).
Our results are encouraging, indicating a transition will pay off over time, with increased economic and environmental benefits for farmers.
Below, you will find links for the summaries and analyses for each of the landscapes we analyzed.
