Agroecology Europe issued a position paper on regenerative agriculture: "While the first proponents of regenerative agriculture had several principles and good agronomic practices that are closely aligned to agroecology, in the EU policy making, regenerative agriculture is increasingly diverging from agroecology in goals and scope. This is largely due to its lack of a “beyond the individual practices and farm-gate” perspective, which has left it vulnerable to co-optation by global finance and big industry actors."
