A REGENERATIVE FUTURE
The sun is a symbol for growth and renewal, and here in Aotearoa New Zealand we are the first country in the world to see the sunrise. We believe we can also be world-first in imagining a regenerative future.

Regenerative areas
Water
Water is vital to life, and one of the key issues we face today is water pollution. We share fresh discoveries on the natural intelligence of water, innovative solutions to water pollution and ways we can take action to help restore our waterways.
Food
By co-creating healthy, sustainable food systems that work in partnership with nature we can help reverse soil degradation and restore vitality back to the land, its plants, waterways and animals – reconnecting humans with nature to create positive change for communities, ecosystems and the planet.
Farming
Re-establishing our relationship with the earth is intrinsic to a regenerative approach to farming. Here we share articles on the growing Regen Ag movement, and stories from local farmers who are working to restore biodiversity and native ecosystems, creating a positive impact on human and planetary health.
Health & wellbeing
Regenerative health initiatives are holistic, in that they treat the whole person – mind, body and spirit. By exploring the underlying causes of health issues, understanding how emotional or mental patterns can manifest into physical ailments, and knowing that our bodies have the innate ability to self-heal, we can re-align with nature, restore our natural state of wellbeing, and truly thrive.
Housing
Regenerative Housing applies holistic processes to create feedback loops between physical, ecological, economic and social networks that are mutually supportive, equitable, healthy and prosperous.
By consciously shaping the spaces we live and work in, we can co-create vibrant, thriving communities that ensure a better quality of life and nurture the wellbeing of people and the environment.
Education
A regenerative education system means an evolving education system that starts with todays needs and continues to change as our global society and knowledge changes. It continues to meet the needs of young people and those people continue to improve the world based on their foundational years of education.
Community
A regenerative community improves the health and vitality of the local environment and the people who live there by fostering relationships that support both human and ecological systems; incorporating principles from nature such as mutual support, resilience and adaptability; prioritising resources and biodiversity; and integrating renewable energy and sustainable practices.
