Regenerative Agriculture Can Reignite Agricultural Productivity Growth

Global agricultural total factor productivity (TFP), the ratio of agricultural output to input, is declining, and its rate of growth currently falls well below what is needed to meet projected demand by 2050. However, under the right conditions, regenerative agriculture can help reverse this trend, according to the 2026 Global Agricultural Productivity (GAP) Report, published by Virginia Tech’s Global Agricultural Productivity (GAP) Initiative.
