Recognizing companies that prioritize sustainable agriculture practices and promote regenerative land management.
The Regenerative Business Award
The Regenerative Business Award is an annual recognition of companies that have made significant contributions to regenerative agriculture practices. The award is presented by the Regenerative Agriculture Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable agriculture practices.
The Criteria for Selection
The Regenerative Business Award is based on a set of criteria that evaluates the company’s commitment to regenerative agriculture practices. These criteria include:
The Problem of Native Bee Decline
Native bees, such as bumblebees and solitary bees, are crucial pollinators of many plant species. However, their populations have been declining at an alarming rate due to various factors, including habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change. This decline has significant implications for food security, as many crops rely on native bees for pollination. Key factors contributing to native bee decline: + Habitat loss and fragmentation + Pesticide use and toxicity + Climate change and extreme weather events + Varroa mite infestations and disease
The Solution: BeeBox
BeeBox is a modular hive designed to support diverse native bee species. Developed in collaboration with BeeHub, this innovative solution addresses the specific needs of native bees, providing a safe and welcoming environment for them to thrive.
