The Regeneration Academy is more than an Academy.
We provide students, researchers and professionals with training and guidance to have an impact on the land. We help farmers and agribusinesses to transform to sustainable practices.
However it moves beyond that. In the current activities:
It is located on La Junquera; an example of a traditional farm that is fully committed to turn into a regenerative farm. The activities of the Regeneration Academy contribute directly to the improvement of practices by utilising knowledge to enable direct practical innovation
It brings together stakeholders to facilitate knowledge and best-practice exchange and forge new cooperations

The Regeneration Academy is located on the organic farm of La Junquera, the province of Murcia, southern Spain.
For a long time now, Spain has seen its lands degraded as intensive farming and overgrazing have caused large-scale degradation. Conventional farming practices are causing many problems in the region which is already one of the poorer regions in Europe.
La Junquera is an organic farm and village that is being transformed into a beacon of regenerative agriculture in Southern Spain. The 1100 hectare farm of La Junquera and the Regeneration Academy coexist in symbioses: the farm facilitates land and infrastructure, while the Regeneration Academy helps the farm make better decisions on restoring landscape, biodiversity and sustainable profit.
