Roughly 225,000 hectares of Gelderland land are suitable for conservation and regenerative agriculture. That makes regenerative land management a provincial-scale spatial opportunity, not a niche. The practices include minimal soil disturbance, permanent soil cover, diversified rotations and strengthening soil life.

The value of this area is not only CO₂ reduction. The same transition can support water retention, biodiversity, soil fertility, lower dependence on external inputs and new farmer revenue models. The source links this land base directly to the highest reduction potential when regenerative principles are combined with a smaller livestock herd.
