Regenerativa

What Regenerativa does

Regenerativa (legally Regenerativa SPA, established 2015) is a Chilean non-profit organization headquartered in Frutillar, Los Lagos Region, that articulates and executes regenerative actions to restore ecosystems, soils, and biodiversity across Chile. The organization operates a portfolio of community-led programs — most prominently the Programa de Regeneración Comunitaria de Ecosistemas en Isla Mocha (initiated 2020) and Regenerando Nahuelbuta e Isla Mocha — that combine native forest restoration, regenerative livestock management, biocultural education, and capacity building for rural and Mapuche communities in degraded Chilean territories. Regenerativa also runs paid educational courses in Holistic Management (co-produced with Efecto Manada and Savory Institute hubs) and Syntropic Agriculture (Gira Sintrópica, co-organized with Brazil's Agrosintropia), and maintains the Catastro Regenerando Chile digital registry, which connects landowners covering 11,000+ hectares (from Coquimbo to Magallanes) with funding and technical support aligned to Chile's national 1 million hectare restoration goal by 2030.

The core technology is a domain-specialized methodology stack — Holistic Management (Manejo Holístico), Syntropic Agriculture (Agricultura Sintrópica), agroforestry systems, and biocultural conservation approaches — adapted from Allan Savory and Ernst Götsch frameworks and applied across Chilean ecosystems. Outputs to date include 140+ initiatives since 2015, 175 hectares in active regeneration, over 1,000 trained participants, and the first live photographic capture of the Degú de la Mocha (Octodon pacificus) after 65 years of presumed extinction.

The business model is a non-profit revenue mix: donations and recurring contributions (processed via Mercado Pago and PayPal), competitive grants (e.g., the 2021 Agencia de Sostenibilidad Energética award), and course fees ranging from ~$96 USD for an introductory syntropic agriculture course to ~$330 USD for a bundled advanced package, plus a 'pay-what-makes-sense' Holistic Management course nominally valued at ~$100 USD. Direct field programs serve rural communities and small farmers in Isla Mocha and Nahuelbuta; online courses target Spanish-speaking students and practitioners across Latin America and Iberia; and the digital cadaster supports landowners and institutional partners nationwide.

Revenue model

1. Donations and Philanthropic Contributions: Regenerativa operates primarily as a non-profit organization (ONG) funded through donations from individuals and institutional supporters. The organization accepts donations via Mercado Pago and PayPal for specific projects such as Isla Mocha regeneration and the Nahuelbuta program. Recurring monthly donation options are promoted to supporters.
2. Course Fees: The organization generates revenue through paid educational courses including the Gira Sintrópica 2023 (introductory and advanced syntropic agriculture courses) and the Holistic Management open course. Pricing ranges from $90,000 to $240,000 CLP per course with a 'pay what makes sense' model for the Holistic Management course. Funds from courses are directed toward regenerative projects.
3. Project Grants and Awards: Regenerativa secures funding through competitive grants such as the 'Primer Concurso Comunidad Energética Acción Contra el Cambio Climático' from the Agencia de Sostenibilidad Energética for the Isla Mocha soil improvement project. Additional project-based funding comes from national and international sources.
