Regenerative agriculture projects are a mixed reduction-and-removal project type within the agriculture & soils segment of the carbon market. They involve a broad umbrella term for farm practices that can produce removals, reductions, or both depending on the methodology. In practice, the mechanism varies by methodology but often combines soil-carbon gains with lower agricultural emissions. Common project configurations include Cover crops; rotational grazing; agroforestry; reduced tillage; nutrient management.

This label often bundles several practices together, so the integrity of the project rests on how outcomes are measured, not just how practices are described. These projects are appealing because they connect climate outcomes with soil health and farm resilience, but measurement, durability, and attribution can be more complex than in highly engineered pathways. For buyers and program designers, the most important diligence questions are: Which exact methodology is being used? Is the credited outcome soil carbon, methane reduction, N2O reduction, or a combination?
