Value structure

Dimensions and units

Unit
% — source-defined reporting unit
Reporting basis
Reporting period for which land management or sourcing is assessed

Unit meaning: Values use % under the disclosed TNFD sector-guidance method, reporting period and boundary.

Published dimensions

  • Land relationship: managed or sourced
  • Land-use type: agriculture, grazing or forestry
  • Regenerative agriculture standard or defined standard used to assess outcomes

Calculation method

Formula information

Status
Specified
Formula type
Percentage

Formula

(Land managed or sourced with practices demonstrating measurable regenerative outcomes / Total land managed or sourced) × 100

Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. The candidate specifies an independently reportable percentage outcome, its numerator population, denominator and required reference to a defined regenerative standard. It is not equivalent to the shortlisted forestry conservation, Indigenous-land, certification or land-occupation constructs.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: TNFD sector guidance, Final English sector guidance collection through August 2026 (17 documents).

  • Identify the defined standard for regenerative agriculture or regenerative outcomes used.
  • Describe the land-management and sourcing boundary and treatment of sourced land.
  • Describe how measurable regenerative outcomes are assessed and how qualifying land is identified.

Record-specific limitations

  • The source requires measurable regenerative outcomes but does not prescribe a named regenerative agriculture standard.
  • Results depend on the organization’s land boundary, sourcing traceability and the standard used to determine whether outcomes are regenerative.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
