The term regenerative refers to the capability of ecosystems to self-regulate and self-maintain and so adapt to change and interference.(1) As the capacity of natural systems to regenerate has been severely affected by human actions, the need to restore, renew and revitalize ecosystems is one of the key priorities in combating climate change. This can be achieved through approaches such as regenerative and restorative land use and agriculture, that combine conservation and rehabilitation practices to foster resilience and improve the health of ecosystems. The concept of regeneration and restoration is now also increasingly applied in design and economics.(2,3)
