Regenerative farming from seed to table
A value-chain initiative designed to incorporate Tritordeum into regenerative crop rotations, with monitored practices, traceability and support for farmers and food-chain partners.
The Regen' model
A cereal value chain built around regeneration
Tritordeum Regen' is the incorporation of Tritordeum into the crop rotation of farmers implementing regenerative agriculture practices. It is designed to connect crop diversification with soil stewardship, monitored farm management and traceable food production.
Regenerative agriculture seeks to improve soil function, encourage biodiversity, manage water more efficiently and create resilient agricultural systems. Within this approach, Tritordeum offers farmers an alternative cereal crop for diversified rotations while supplying differentiated grain for food and malt value chains.
A holistic approach to farm resilience
The Regen' programme considers soil, plants, animals, water and people as interconnected components of a productive farming system.
Rebuild Soil Health
Support the physical, chemical and biological properties required for fertile and resilient soils.
Improve Biodiversity
Encourage crop diversity and biological activity within regenerative farming environments.
Protect Ecosystems
Integrate farming practices that preserve habitat and support ecosystem functions.
Use Water Efficiently
Promote management decisions intended to conserve water in water-limited production conditions.
Support Farmer Value
Develop differentiated value chains and market opportunities for participating farmers.
A mindful supply chain from seed to table
The programme is structured around farming practices, monitoring and traceability. Its objective is to ensure that the Regen' identity is supported by controlled production and documented information throughout the value chain.
Production Practices
Participating farms apply regenerative practices adapted to their production context, including crop rotation, soil-cover strategies, reduced soil disturbance, organic-matter management and efficient water-use approaches.
Monitoring Progress
Production is supported by farm visits and measurement activities intended to evaluate implemented practices, soil-health indicators, biodiversity observations, water efficiency and carbon-related performance over time.
Traceability
Lot-based traceability is designed to connect seed identity, farmer, location, production year, post-harvest handling, processing and resulting products within the Regen' chain.
Tritordeum within regenerative rotations
Tritordeum Regen' aims to use crop diversity and resilient cereal genetics to support farming systems seeking lower input dependency and improved adaptation. Outcomes are assessed within each production environment and monitored through the programme approach.
Regenerative actions adapted to each farm plan
Depending on production context and technical assessment, the programme may integrate the following regenerative practices.
Reduced Tillage
Limiting soil disturbance to support structure, biological activity and organic-matter preservation where feasible.
Cover Cropping
Using appropriate cover crops to reduce erosion, protect the soil and support nutrient cycling and water retention.
Rotational Grazing
Integrating managed grazing where suitable to recycle nutrients and support diversified farm-system function.
Composting
Incorporating suitable organic matter to promote nutrient cycling and improve biological soil quality.
Crop Rotation
Introducing Tritordeum as an alternative cereal to increase crop diversity and reduce continuous-crop pressure.
Agroforestry
Combining crops with perennial vegetation where appropriate to enhance habitat diversity and landscape resilience.
Mulching
Applying organic cover materials where applicable to protect soil surfaces and contribute to moisture management.
Water Management
Using management and monitoring tools designed to optimise water resources under local farming conditions.
Practices supported by measurement
Regenerative objectives require evidence over time. The Regen' programme incorporates monitoring activities intended to document farm conditions and implemented production practices.
Measurements are interpreted in relation to baseline conditions, field environment, management decisions and the duration of the regenerative transition.
Soil Analysis
Soil sampling and analysis to characterise organic matter, carbon-related indicators, pH and biological soil-health measures.
Field Assessment
On-farm visits to evaluate soil condition, erosion, compaction, crop development, weed pressure and disease management.
Biodiversity Observation
Assessment of biological indicators, including the presence of relevant flora and fauna within the production environment.
Water and Carbon Indicators
Calculation and documentation of water-use efficiency and carbon-related indicators as part of monitored production reporting.
From seed to regenerative food
The Regen' model integrates farming, post-harvest handling, processing and product communication within one traceable chain.
Seed
Identified Tritordeum seed supplied for controlled production.
Farm
Contract farming supported by regenerative practice planning.
Monitor
Field visits, soil evaluation and practice monitoring.
Harvest
Quality control and documented handling of harvested grain.
Process
Milling or malting within a traceable value-chain route.
Product
Differentiated ingredients and foods for customers and consumers.
Making regenerative production visible
Regen' is designed not only as a farming approach, but also as a traceable product identity that can be communicated through bakery products and other food applications.
Clear consumer-facing communication can connect the cereal, the farmer, the monitored production approach and the finished food product.
Supported by The Regen Academy
The Regen Academy supports farmers in implementing and monitoring regenerative practices through technical guidance, farm evaluation and its regenerative-agriculture methodology.
The Regen Academy
Founded by Francesc Font, The Regen Academy helps farmers transition towards regenerative agriculture through experience developed on farm and transferred through its Regen 360° methodology.
Within Tritordeum Regen', the collaboration supports participating farms through practice guidance, evaluation and the monitoring of progress indicators.
Regen Foods Certified
Grain and products produced within the programme may be evaluated under the Regen Foods certification route according to applicable standards, verification procedures and traceability requirements.
