Bridging the Gap
At Regenerators, we are dedicated to bridging the persistent gap that exists in Sub-Saharan Africa between subsistence farming practices and modern farming solutions.
We believe that regenerative farming practices and appropriate technologies are the foundation of a prosperous future for smallholder farmers
Our Vision
We envision a world where rural communities have reached true food sovereignty by fully transitioning to regenerative agricultural systems, ensuring their resilience and empowering them to prosper for generations to come.
To tackle wicked problems, we need bold solutions
Our mission to support the transition to a regenerative food system is underpinned by an awareness that this will require deep understanding and subsequent intervention within the social-ecological context of African smallholder farming communities: learning from those who intimately understand the interdependencies between the social and ecological dynamics of the region.
Our Approach
We take a systems-led approach to tackling these wicked problems by intervening across three interdependent domains: regenerative education, technology transfer, and innovation capacity.
Our three domains of intervention
Regenerators Farmhub
A Farmhub Field Station is a local service hub that provides smallholder farmers with access to the core infrastructure they need to close the yield, income, and market gap.
Each hub is a physical location — locally operated & offering affordable, standardised access to:
Mechanisation-as-a-service (e.g. tractor hire)
Input provisioning (seed, fertiliser, tools)
On-site storage and aggregation
Soil testing and basic diagnostics
Digital solutions for farm, fleet, supply chain and operations management
Farmer training, advisory, and data collection
Value addition
Logistics coordination and output pickup
The Farmhub is the rural service hub for smallholder agriculture — like a franchise field station that delivers yield, tools, and trust.
An Integrated System
Our solution is an integrated technology transfer system as a core solution with Farmhub’s serving as the visible nodes to enable the system.
Farmhub’s serve as the local node where farmers can access information, training, equipment, digital applications, inputs and resources to improve their productivity, profitability, and resilience. By establishing a network of interconnected Farmhub’s, farmers can learn from each other's experiences and best practices, access market information, and leverage their collective bargaining power – all enabling wider systemic impact.
The creation of a technology transfer system with Farmhub’s as the visible nodes holds the potential to create a virtuous cycle of innovation, learning, and collaboration that enhances smallholder farmers' livelihoods and contributes to achieving food sovereignty across Ethiopia.
Mission Lab Ethiopia
We have established our first Mission Lab at the Hawassa University Innovation and Technology Campus and it will serve as a conducive environment for experimentation and innovation.
By leveraging the resources and expertise available at the university campus, we can enhance our training programs, equipping partners with the necessary skills and knowledge to operate successful Farmhub’s. Additionally, the facility will serve as a testing ground for new agricultural technologies and practices, ensuring that our franchise network remains at the forefront of innovation.
Through Mission Lab at Hawassa University Innovation and Technology Campus, we aim to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and continuous improvement, driving the sustainable growth of our Farmhub franchise model across Ethiopia and beyond.

We can’t run the race on our own
The wicked problems that we are addressing can only be solved through the creation of a symbiotic network of talented, like-minded, and inspired individuals and organizations.
As Regenerators, we are seeking to find partners and investors who share our vision and who will work tirelessly with us to bring this vision into reality.
