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.

Portfolio

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. Scroll down to see previous projects or click over to current projects to see what we’re up to today.

Saudi Arabia/ Al Baydha

Co-founded & Directed by RRC founder Neal Spackman, the Al Baydha Project is the preeminent global example of hyperarid ecosystem restoration & regeneration.

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.

Egypt / New Nile

Developed in collaboration with Gensler and Energy Allied International, the New Nile Project was a proposed 50,000 hectare site on the Red Sea in Egypt.
