Why it Matters
Soil is thinning, water tables are dropping, biodiversity is disappearing – and farms, certifications, and individual projects, despite real effort, haven’t been able to reverse it alone. The reason isn’t lack of will; it’s scale – degradation crosses farm boundaries, but the response hasn’t. Smallholder vulnerability, environmental risk, and market shifts are now moving faster than fragmented action can absorb. What’s needed is coordinated landscape governance – farmers, government, business, and civil society acting jointly under one shared MRV framework – so outcomes are tracked, verified, and traceable across the whole landscape, not just within it.
About RPLC
RPLC is how that governance gets built.
The Regenerative Production Landscape Collaborative (RPLC) is a multi-stakeholder initiative launched in 2021, bringing together farmers, communities, businesses, and governments to reimagine how people, nature, and the economy can align – at the scale of a landscape, not a single farm as we understand Farm-level certification can’t produce the landscape-level evidence regulators and buyers now expect.
RPLC aims to scale a model where:
- Producers grow agri-commodities using regenerative principles that restore ecosystems
- Farmers and communities gain economic stability, stronger livelihoods, and a real voice in decision-making
- Businesses secure long-term, responsible, and sustainable supply chains
- Governments channel policy and public investment behind the models that prove they work

Overview
RPLC Brazil is a landscape-based, jurisdictional model being implemented across three states in Brazil's semi-arid Northeast, that operationalises the Landscape Approach through three Compacts: the Pajeú Compact in Pernambuco, the Cariri Compact in Paraíba, and the Sertão do Apodi Compact in Rio Grande do Norte. Together, stakeholders collaborate around the three pillars used across RPLC: Produce, Protect, and Include (PPI).

What our
partners say
Landscape is one cohesive and coherent unit in existence. When the landscape exists as a single unit, it restores the balance between humans and nature.
We cannot succeed if we only focus on one piece of the puzzle. The Collaborative brings a broad spectrum of stakeholders together to delineate and work on impact areas.
There is no single solution. As we move forward and develop this Compact, a lot will change and we need to be agile
There is now a need for a fresh approach to farming that looks beyond production and productivity and focus on diversification. The Compact will help stakeholders Focus on these issues.
