- Current Organic Certification (full or in-conversion) through the National Standard for Organic and Bio-Dynamic Produce approved certifying bodies: ACO, NCO, SXC, BDRI, OFC

How long does it take to submit the Discover Regenerative Application and get listed?
If you’re immediately eligible, the process can take between 45 – 90min, pending the amount of information you have at the ready. Producers can save information in the App as they go, so they can return to the form at a later stage to continue adding or editing information.
Not yet eligible?
If you do not currently meet the criteria outlined above, you can become eligible for regenerative endorsement from Sustainable Table by completing their Sustainable Table Regenerative Map assessment. You can either submit additional information directly through the Discover Regenerative app form or apply separately via Sustainable Table.
The Map self-assessment tool allows you to share your regenerative practices, from land stewardship to how you collaborate with others in the industry. It typically takes 30-45 minutes to complete, with a processing time of up to four weeks for Sustainable Table to review and assess your application.
This assessment is the first step toward gaining regenerative endorsement. Once you are featured on the Sustainable Table Regenerative Map, you will also be eligible to be showcased on Discover Regenerative. While awaiting confirmation of eligibility, you may continue completing the Discover Regenerative application form.

Supporting evidence
Watch this 9 min video on how to add your regenerative credentials.
The Portal makes it easy for diverse regenerative producers, at many stages on the journey, to reveal what they are doing and what they know about their impact. It provides a platform for producers to engage with those who want to support these ways of farming and land management.
Supporting evidence can be past and current, self-reported or third-party information (text, links, uploaded documentation and reports). It should demonstrate how you are participating in regenerative agriculture, and any ecological improvement outcomes that you have achieved. This helps to build a transparent, collective understanding of what is happening on your farm level, and the different regenerative approaches from across the sector.
Examples of supporting evidence types: soil tests, plant tissue tests, biodiversity monitoring, third party verifications of improvements, natural capital accounts, farm case studies, specific project involvement / participation and subsequent reports or documentation, courses, training or workshop participation, peer-networking groups and involvement.
Eligibility
If you are not currently eligible, you can still submit the Application. Once submitted, we will refer you to the Sustainable Table Regenerative Map assessment process. Your listing on the Discover Regenerative Portal will only activate once you have met at least one of the eligibility pathways.
