About
Regenerative Resources is an Ecosystems Services company.
*We acquire highly-degraded land, either by purchase, long-term lease, or in partnership with landholders (governments, tribes, private owners)
*We transform that land, whether into restored ecosystems or agroecologies.
*We commercialize the outputs of that transformation. See the RSA tab for more info on those outputs.

We are pioneers in seawater agricultures, hyperarid agroforestries, and regenerative coastal development. We have taken on projects in some of the harshest climates on earth, with astounding results.

Eritrea / Greening Eritrea

Designed & Directed by RRC founder Ned Daugherty, the Greening Eritrea project was the first commercially successful iteration of our Regenerative Seawater Agriculture.
The Greening Eritrea Project lasted from 1999-2004. The team there developed 800 direct jobs and thousands of indirect jobs, a local women’s co-op for craft and textile development, and were exporting 2 tons of seafood to the EU on a monthly basis.
Govan Wetlands / Glasgow / Scotland

Done at the historic dry docks in Glasgow in the run-up to COP26, the Govan Wetlands Project is the transformation of an industrial brownfield into a restored urban wetland and community garden space.
Spearheaded by Yanik Nyberg and the Seawater Solutions team (who joined RRC in summer of 2021). Now hosted at bluegreenglasgow.org, the Govan Wetlands is being turned over to a Community Interest Company in Govan.
