Biodiversity
Increase

CRS plots showed a 40% higher Shannon-Wiener biodiversity index than conventional plots.

Lowered
Cost

39% drop in input costs and a 12% drop in labor costs.

Cleaner
Water

By incorporating biochar and filtration crops, CRS paddies show significantly lower heavy metal levels than conventional plots, producing safer, cleaner rice.

Extra
Income

31% increase in profit by 4 rice cycles, generated through diversified revenue sources.

Comparable
Yield

After multiple CRS cycles, farmers attain higher and more consistent yields than those typically seen in conventional paddies.

SOC content increased from 2.05% to 2.58% after 4 cycles of CRS.

Soil

Wawee Valley

Delivered in partnership with reNature and the Wawee Valley Foundation, the initiative is improving farmer livelihoods in Northern Thailand while rebuilding soil carbon—work that has already earned international recognition. The project is made possible through the unwavering 1% pledge from Hyatt Hotels in Hong Kong.

“Wawee Valley Foundation
leverages the satellite-based
tool Kanop to guide its master
plan, assessing farming
suitability across elevation,
climate, and soil conditions.”

Tribes & Natures

Defenders

Through native reforestation and agroforestry, this project supports indigenous communities in Southern Philippines to restore denuded mountains, strengthen livelihoods, and protect tribal identity—fully funded by 1% pledges from Hyatt Hotels Hong Kong.

“Through the integration of
FAO’s TAPE framework, the
project advances toward
globally consistent,
evidence-based assessment
of regenerative systems.”

Green Intelligence

Expanding our work in Nepal, this project restores ecosystems and livelihoods in Bagmati by establishing regenerative agroforestry farms for food and medicine. It will build fair market links, enhance ecological resilience, reduce poverty, and engage youth in farming—fully funded by Hyatt Hotels Hong Kong.
