Lower Silesia 360° is a landscape-scale regenerative agriculture initiative in southwest Poland, similar in concept to the Navarra 360°.
The project is part of the broader Regenerative Innovation Portfolio, which aims to build practical, scalable models of regenerative farming across Europe.
The landscape was formally launched on 29th October 2025, it is co-financed by EIT Food, Bunge, PepsiCo, Viking Malt, and Malteurop. It is also supported by a set of local partners, like cooperatives, financial institutions and local government.
Restore & improve soil health — through regenerative practices that rebuild soil structure.
Enhance biodiversity — promote more ecologically diverse and resilient agro-ecosystems.
Increase carbon sequestration & reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions — by adopting practices like reduced tillage/no-tillage, cover crops, crop rotation, restorative soil management; which will imply in GHG emissions reducions (delivered by the partners Terra Nostra Foundation and Grunt od Nowa Foundation) and by quantifying gains via a robust MRV system (this developed in partnership with MyEasyFarm, Seqana and Biosphères).
Ensure long-term viability and resilience of farms — combining ecological sustainability with economic viability.
Create a replicable, scalable model — design a blueprint for “landscape-level” regenerative agriculture that could be applied across Europe under the Regenerative Innovation Portfolio framework.
By aligning supply-chain actors (buyers, processors, agrifood companies) with farmer-led sustainable practices, the project seeks to embed regenerative agriculture into mainstream food value chains.
Scope, Scale & Focus
In numbers:
The project covers up to 20,000 hectares and 200 farmers, one of the largest regenerative agriculture deployments in Poland to date.
The crops involved: rapeseed, wheat, malting barley, and sugar beet.
Timeframe: From 2025 to 2028.
Technical Support for Farmers
There are organisations — like TerraNostra Foundation and Ground Up — to deliver training and advisory services to help farmers — planning crop rotations, soil management, cover crops, etc.
Activities include: field visits on farms, educational/training materials, continuous advisory support, and sharing of best practices.
The Indicators
Like Navarra 360º, Silesia 360º works from a field and management perspective, looking at more than 60 key indicators of environmental, social and economic nature.
A MRV framework will be set to track GHG emissions / carbon sequestration, biodiversity indicators, and soil health parameters.
Components of MRV include: a Farm Data Management Platform; a Carbon and Co-Benefits Accounting Methodology; and a Soil Carbon Quantification Model.
Supply-Chain & Market Integration
The landscape brings together farmers, agrifood corporate partners and off-takers.
The idea is to align demand with supply: companies commit to sourcing from RegenAg farms, providing a market and financial incentive for farmers to adopt and maintain the regenerative practices.
Strategic Importance & Broader Context
As one of the largest crop producing countries in the EU, Poland plays a critical role in European food security and supply chains. Implementing regenerative agriculture at scale in Poland can have substantial impact on the sustainability of European agriculture.
The choice of Lower Silesia region is strategic: it combines agricultural dynamism and environmental pressures such as soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and vulnerability to climate change.
By integrating farmers, agrifood companies, institutions, and a monitoring/data system, Lower Silesia 360° intends to show that regenerative practices can be embedded into mainstream supply chains — and become a viable, competitive, and scalable model.
