Agroecology and regenerative agriculture aim to restore ecosystems while producing food. Studies explore practices such as crop diversity, soil regeneration, and reduced chemical inputs, and their effects on productivity and resilience.
This category of the Real Food Research Hub compiles peer-reviewed evidence and respected analyses on agroecology and regenerative farming systems.

Regenerative grazing emphasises adaptive livestock management to restore soils, increase carbon storage, and support biodiversity. Research investigates grazing strategies that balance productivity with ecological benefits.
The Real Food Research Hub provides peer-reviewed studies and credible sources on regenerative grazing and its contribution to sustainable food systems.
Intensive livestock systems aim to maximise efficiency and output, often within confined environments. Studies assess their environmental footprint, including emissions, land use, and resource inputs.
In this category, the Real Food Research Hub provides peer-reviewed research and credible sources on intensive ruminant systems and their sustainability challenges.
Mixed enterprises combine crops and livestock in integrated systems, improving resource use and resilience. Research explores how these systems contribute to soil health, biodiversity, and farm sustainability.
The Real Food Research Hub compiles peer-reviewed studies and authoritative sources on mixed enterprises in regenerative agriculture.
Pig and poultry systems are efficient at converting feed into animal protein, but they also pose environmental challenges. Research examines feed composition, housing, manure management, and overall sustainability of monogastric production systems.
The Real Food Research Hub curates peer-reviewed studies and credible sources on the role and impact of pig and poultry systems in global food production.
