Regenera Cerrado\u2014a regenerative agriculture program backed by Cargill and run by the BioSist\u00eamico Institute (IBS) in partnership with 11 organizations\u2014is entering a new stage focused on deepening research into the impact of regenerative techniques on soybean and corn production in Brazil\u2019s Cerrado biome. The new phase will require $3 million in funding, of which $600,000 has already been secured by Cargill. The rest is still being raised.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cIn the first phase, we focused on productivity, costs, and the crops\u2019 resilience to climate challenges,\u201d said Let\u00edcia Kawanami, Cargill\u2019s director of agricultural business sustainability for South America. Now, the program will assess metrics such as carbon fixation and emissions reduction, the effects of bio-inputs, biodiversity improvements, and soil health. More workshops and field days will also be held to bring knowledge to more producers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ms. Kawanami noted that many of Cargill\u2019s clients\u2014including companies like Unilever, PepsiCo, and Nestl\u00e9\u2014have their own environmental targets for reducing carbon emissions and protecting ecosystems, which also extend to their suppliers. Regenerative agriculture programs like this one help meet those goals. \u201cThese companies are increasingly interested in sourcing sustainably produced raw materials,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Launched in 2022, Regenera Cerrado was created to study and promote regenerative agriculture on soybean and corn farms in Brazil\u2019s Cerrado. The initiative currently monitors 12 farms in southwestern Goi\u00e1s, covering 7,841 hectares.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Each farmer adopts the practices best suited to their own property, such as no-till farming, crop rotation, cover crops, and the use of biological inputs. \u201cThese farms contributed all of their empirical knowledge so that researchers could scientifically validate it,\u201d said Priscila Calegari, agriculture director at the BioSist\u00eamico Institute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

A team of 35 researchers collected and analyzed data from the 2022\/23 and 2023\/24 crop seasons. Results from the first phase showed that in the 2023\/24 harvest, average soybean yields in fields using regenerative practices reached 69 60-kilo bags per hectare. In areas using conventional methods, average yields were 66 bags per hectare. The average in Goi\u00e1s, affected by drought, was 56 bags per hectare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Marion Kompier, from Fazenda Brasilanda in Montividiu, Goi\u00e1s, is among the program participants. Her family grows 6,600 hectares of soybeans each year. She said that by adopting regenerative agriculture, they were able to cut costs on fungicides, herbicides, and fertilizers by 50%. The average cost of soybean farming in Goi\u00e1s is about 60 bags per hectare, but at Brasilanda, it dropped to 45 bags, she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ms. Kompier also reported improved productivity. Some fields yielded up to 79 bags per hectare. On average, soybean yields in the 2024\/25 season reached 70 bags per hectare in Goi\u00e1s, compared to a national average of 60, according to Brazil\u2019s National Supply Company (CONAB). \u201cImprovement is gradual. Regenerative agriculture is a journey; you don\u2019t flip the switch overnight,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Practices adopted at Brasilanda include crop rotation, cover crops, crop-livestock integration, organic fertilizers, and biofertilizers. Insect control is done with traps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWe use homeopathy in soybeans and corn to reduce herbicide use, and we apply Bordeaux mixture [a copper sulfate- and lime-based fungicide used in organic farming]. Now we\u2019ve started using bees to pollinate the soy,\u201d Ms. Kompier said.<\/p>\n
