RESEARCH AWARDS
The Seal the Market Has Been Waiting For
Consumers demand transparency, retailers want credible verification, and producers need access to premium markets with added value that reflects their sustainability and best practices. To meet that need, CPI has introduced the Verified Circular‑Regenerative™ Program—the first global seal powered by real, field‑level data on circularity and regeneration as a single approach to closed-loop food systems transformation. This is a whole farm level approach that allows farmers to tell their sustainability journey holistically on a yearly basis, using data that is guided by technology and science to grant them new market access with added value.
