Originally founded by
Regenerative Production Landscape (RPL) Collaborative is an innovative jurisdictional model being implemented in Madhya Pradesh, India to foster agricultural ecosystems that conserve and enhance natural resources and build community resilience whilst enabling businesses to source responsibly.
Originally founded by Laudes Foundation, IDH The Sustainable Trade Initiative and WWF India, the Collaborative aims to invite other organizations to catalyze and scale a model where:
- Producers grow agri-commodities using natural and regenerative farming principles that restore natural resources and reduce emissions from farming systems.
- Smallholder farmers and communities thrive through improved economic stability, enhanced livelihoods and greater participation in decision-making
- Businesses can source responsibly while creating inclusive supply chain relationships
To achieve this, the Collaborative will support locally-driven, multi-stakeholder governance structures that drive market transformation – bringing together government institutions that enable sustainable and green growth, companies that commit to sourcing responsibly, community and producer organizations for more inclusive decision-making, and impact investors and funders who seek scalable solutions that deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Where are we working
By 2025, we will cover all the cotton-growing regions in Madhya Pradesh through a combination of in-field interventions, value chain development, institutions and governance building, and concerted public-private engagement to address the smallholder resilience in the landscape holistically. We have started implementation in the district of Chhindwara; and continue to scope the expansion into other districts in consultation with stakeholders from the government, private sector and civil society.
Get Involved
We are inviting like-minded partners from government, private sectors, CSOs, farmer organisations, communities and other enablers to join us in building a shared, long-term vision and approach to scale regenerative and restorative production practices in Madhya Pradesh, India.
Your participation will help us strengthen and scale this intervention while giving you an active voice in driving the success of the Collaborative and your investment.
