REGENERATIVE
What is it?
Regenerative is about a way of being or behaviour. There is no starting or end point but a process of constant change which delivers measurable improvement in the health of the systems we work with. With Regenerative Farming or Agriculture, this can be an improvement in ecological health measured with Ecological Outcome Verification. In a business sense, this can be improvement in organisational health as measured by the Organisation Health Index.
Through our partnerships with Savory Institute and nRhythm we are able to deliver practical solutions, implementation, training and education for a wide range of agricultural, commercial and governmental applications.

YOUR REGENERATIVE JOURNEY
There is no pre-qualification required, no pre-conditions of entry and no pressure to achieve beyond the level of your own progress; just a genuine desire to change towards a system which can deliver health to planet and people and secure a long term future for humanity on earth.
Where are you now?
For us to help you on your journey to a regenerative healthy future it helps us to know ‘where you are now’. What is your starting baseline position and what does health and abundance look like for you, your farm or your business in the future?
Getting started
We sit down with you and your team and co- design your regenerative future using the principles of Holistic Management and the Regenerative Framework. Our approach uses living system design as we are dealing with living systems.
Growing regeneratively
The Regenerative Framework is a living document and one we will revisit regularly. In fact we advise that we should revisit the context at the start of each meeting to ensure it remains current and valid. Find out more here:
“Hokotehi Moriori Trust has been working with Hugh Jellie of Āta Regenerative to build an understanding of how we can contribute to a more healthy community on Rēkohu (Chatham Island) through using regenerative principles for farm management and organisational development. We have enjoyed Hugh’s contribution for the science, experience and humanity that sits behind his advice. The impact of Hugh’s work with us has been to enable us to reimagine what might be possible for our community and how we might best organise ourselves to make those imaginings become real. I have no hesitation in recommending Hugh to organisations interested in having a positive impact on their place and people.”

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE
OUR EXPERTISE
& SERVICES
Āta Regenerative is a consultancy which has been set up to champion the movement reconnecting people and producers with their land. Through multiple agriculture projects we have been able to demonstrate in practice how the development of healthy soils can positively impact farm enterprises allowing them to become more sustainable and profitable.
Consumers are more aware than ever about the quality, the health of animals and the farming practices used to produce their food. And many are no longer comfortable with the industrial, commoditised approach of big business food production. Our regenerative farming approach is the antithesis of these damaging and extractive practices.
The agricultural industry is considered to be one of the world’s biggest impacts on climate change, which in so many ways is counter intuitive to the very notion of farming, which is about nurturing the growth of plants and animals. Generating three centimetres of topsoil takes 1,000 years, and if current rates of degradation continue all of the world’s top soil could be gone within 60 years.
What shape is the soil and pasture on your farm in? Āta Regenerative can help you assess the situation and provide you with regenerative farming options to ensure your farming enterprises are secure, resilient and producing world class food well into the future.
