Working Groups
Working Groups focus on mapping evidence within specific research areas and engaging with related policy issues. They also provide technical support to national Communities of Policy and Practice, helping to strengthen country-level action and evidence.
Gender & Social Inclusion
This Working Group explores how gender dynamics shape access to and availability of resources and decision-making power within regenerative food systems. It seeks to integrate gender transformative approaches that promote equity and empowerment from food systems policymaking to production and consumption.

Regenerative Agriculture
Focusing on practices that restore soil health, increase biodiversity, and enhance ecosystem resilience, this group synthesises evidence on agroecological methods such as cover cropping, crop diversification, and reduced tillage. It supports the design of regenerative strategies that improve productivity while mitigating climate impacts.
Coordinator

Conservation-ecology
This group examines the interactions between agricultural practices and natural ecosystems, emphasising biodiversity conservation and habitat restoration within food systems. It draws on research demonstrating how maintaining ecological balance supports long-term sustainability and resilience in farming landscapes.

Modelling & Geo-spatial Data
This Working Group integrates computational modelling with geographic satellite imagery to analyse food system dynamics. By combining spatial data and predictive models, it supports evidence-based decision-making for targeted interventions and improved understanding of environmental impacts across diverse contexts.
