About the Symposium
Indian agriculture is under real strain declining soil health,
biodiversity loss, a shifting climate, rising input costs and
growing livelihood risk. Regenerative agriculture, through
practices like crop diversification, composting, cover crops,
agroforestry and integrated livestock farming, offers a practical
way forward: better soil fertility, more efficient water use,
less dependence on chemicals, and stronger biodiversity.
This symposium brings researchers, policymakers, field practitioners,
farmer organisations, private sector actors and development partners
onto one platform to share evidence, compare field experience, and
build the partnerships needed to scale regenerative practices
inclusively and sustainably, across India and beyond.
Organised over two thematic-track days, the programme includes keynote
addresses, technical paper presentations, poster exhibitions,
networking sessions and policy dialogues.
Five Objectives
Interdisciplinary Research :-
Promote research on regenerative agriculture that connects soil science,
ecology, economics and social equity.
Policy Recommendations :-
Generate concrete, evidence-based recommendations for scaling regenerative
practices across regions.
Collective Action :-
Facilitate coordination between academia, government, industry and civil society.
Evidence-based Decisions :-
Strengthen the evidence base that agribusiness and policymakers rely on to act.
Field Application :-
Ground contemporary scientific research in practices that actually work in the field.
