Ducks Unlimited will begin conducting regenerative agriculture verification under the Regenified standard as part of a new partnership announced today.
Through the collaboration, DU, an internationally respected conservation organization with deep experience in working landscapes, wetlands, water, waterfowl, and wildlife habitat, will become the inaugural member of the Regenified Accredited Verifier Network (RAVN). The network is designed to extend Regenified’s verification capacity through certified partner organizations with relevant technical expertise, local knowledge, and a shared commitment to credible, outcomes-based regenerative agriculture.
“This partnership is about scaling regenerative agriculture verification in a way that is credible, practical, and rooted in real land stewardship,” said Regenified CEO Salar Shemirani. “Ducks Unlimited is internationally respected for its conservation leadership and brings decades of experience working with landowners, producers, and partners across North America. Their deep understanding of working landscapes, water, habitat, biodiversity, and producer relationships makes them an outstanding partner as we expand access to Regenified verification.”
The partnership is expected to go live in summer 2026, with an initial focus on North America-based producers.
DU’s work under the partnership will focus on geographies where there is a strong connection between regenerative agriculture, waterfowl habitat, soil health, biodiversity, and broader conservation priorities. The aim is to support producers as they adopt and document practices that improve land health, strengthen ecosystem function, support farmer and rancher well-being, and create benefits for wildlife, water, rural communities, and supply chains.
Through the partnership, trained DU professionals will conduct on-site and virtual verification work in accordance with Regenified’s standards, protocols, tools, and reporting systems. Regenified will continue to manage the overall verification process, including quality assurance, scoring, reporting, and certification decisions.
