Collaborate
to Regenerate

REFOOTURE brings farmers, communities, innovators, researchers, and decision-makers together to co-create regenerative and inclusive food systems that benefit people, nature, and future generations.

At its core is Collaborate to Regenerate (C2R), a place-based, multi-stakeholder approach implemented through Food System Innovation Platforms (FSIPs). C2R brings together four key perspectives:

  • Community livelihoods: People whose incomes depend on the land.
  • Disadvantaged stakeholders: People with limited access to basic services.
  • Nature: Ecosystems to be restored and protected.
  • Powerholders: Public and private actors shaping decisions.

Through collaboration, C2R strengthens livelihoods, restores ecosystems, and promotes inclusive decision-making to create Regenerative and Inclusive Food Systems (RIFS).

REFOOTURE pilots this bottom-up approach through local FSIPs in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Uganda.
