Towards a Unified Approach to Prioritization of Regenerative Agricultural Practices Across Cropping Systems

Prioritizing field practices according to their contribution to regenerative efforts, in a structured and standardized manner, can enable efficient resource allocation and higher adoption rates. However, it is remarkably hampered by the diversity of production environments and their respective best management practices. This paper proposes prioritizing regenerative practices using a multicriteria assessment method informed by expert knowledge. To develop it, we mined and synthesized knowledge from eleven experts for three diverse cropping systems, showing that the prioritization of practices varies greatly across production environments.
