Abstract:
Agriculture has a significant impact on the environment, and is responsible for the change in landscape use worldwide. In response, new forms of agriculture have been proposed, such as Regenerative Agriculture (RA) to offer sustainable food production methods. Although there is no clear definition of what it is and what practices it encompasses, RA is now attracting a great deal of interest for all stakeholders, most importantly farmers and policy makers. The current systematic review aims to identify how do RA practices and standards foster economic, social and environmental sustainability and the impacts of stakeholders in accelerating or hindering the adoption of such practices. Results show a concentration of research in countries where large scale farming is very prominent. There is a lack of research into the social and economic viability of RA practices and standards. Thus, multidimensional studies are required to better guide, mainly policy makers, and help with the transition or adoption of regenerative agriculture practices.
