Why Terra Sancta?
Data-Driven Certification
We require annual soil tests to quantify measurable improvements in organic matter, biodiversity, and carbon sequestration. This rigorous, results-based framework ensures that Terra Sancta Certified™ farms are demonstrating authentic, data-backed regenerative progress. By using verifiable metrics, we affirm our commitment to ecological restoration and give consumers confidence that every Terra Sancta seal represents genuine impact on the ground.
​
Professional & Accessible
Terra Sancta Certified™ strikes the ideal balance between integrity and inclusivity.We use a transparent, sliding-scale contribution model to ensure no farm is priced out of advancing regenerative practices. Smaller operations pay a lower rate, while larger farms contribute proportionally—helping sustain our certification infrastructure and community resources for everyone’s benefit. This equitable approach, combined with our paper-light, digital-first system, maintains high standards without burdening farmers, allowing them to focus on nurturing healthy soil and thriving ecosystems.
​
Human Connection, Expert Guidance
Every farm in the Terra Sancta program benefits from genuine human relationships rather than impersonal checklists. Our reviewers are experienced regenerative farmers who understand the realities of agricultural life. They engage in collaborative audits, share best practices, and support continuous improvement.
