Regeneratieve Alliantie
Regeneratieve Alliantie is a Dutch foundation established in 2024 to support farmers in the transition to regenerative agriculture. It was founded by Ger Kappert, Erwin Westers and Debra Aurich, and positions itself as a practical network rather than a traditional consultancy or supplier. The organization focuses on translating regenerative principles into day-to-day farm practice. It connects farmers, experts and partners through training, e-learning, an online community and knowledge resources, with an emphasis on soil health, crop resilience and practical implementation on real farms. Core Values Practicality : The foundation consistently frames its work around what farmers can actually do on the farm, with concrete exercises, experiments and guidance that can be applied directly. Collaboration : Regenerative transition is presented as something that works best through shared learning among farmers, experts and partners, rather than in isolation. Knowledge sharing : Courses, webinars, community discussions and guides are all built to spread experience and make regenerative methods easier to adopt. Future-proof farming : The organization links regenerative agriculture to long-term resilience, healthier soils and a more robust agricultural system. Evidence and observation : Its educational content stresses measuring, observing and adjusting based on what is happening in the soil and crop, not on assumptions alone. Unique Aspects Founded as a regenerative agriculture network : The foundation was created in 2024 specifically to connect farmers, experts and partners around regenerative practice, giving it a clear mission-driven structure. Strong practitioner leadership : The board includes Dietmar Näser, a pioneer of regenerative agriculture in Germany and Central Europe, and Erwin Westers, a Dutch pioneer and steward of Horaholm, which gives the organization direct access to field-based expertise. Näser/Wenz method focus : Much of the educational content is built around the Näser/Wenz approach, including soil biology, plant physiology, compost tea, fermentation and plant sap analysis. Farmer-only online community : Its online community is explicitly restricted to farmers, keeping discussions grounded in practical farm realities. No employees and ANBI status : The foundation states that it has no employees and that board members receive no remuneration beyond expense reimbursement under ANBI rules.
