In a world where climate headlines often oscillate between urgency and despair, Michael Jones stands for something different: possibility. As the founder of AgroReGenerations, he has set out on an ambitious mission — to merge the regenerative power of nature with the transparency and scalability of blockchain technology. His vision is bold yet simple: help small farmers regenerate their land, track their impact with cutting-edge tools, and unlock new streams of income through carbon markets and digital finance.

For Michael, the journey began with a conviction that agriculture and technology don’t have to be at odds. Agriculture, after all, has always been humanity’s oldest technology. But the systems built around it — extractive supply chains, opaque financing, and uneven rewards — have left many smallholders behind. AgroReGenerations was created to turn that equation on its head, making farmers the heroes of climate resilience.

At the intersection of blockchain technology, agroforestry, and climate action, Michael Jones has been quietly building something radical: a system where farmers become the central actors in restoring ecosystems — and are rewarded for it. As founder of AgroReGenerations, Jones and his team are charting a course that moves beyond promises of sustainability into a future where ecological regeneration is measured, verified, and transformed into economic opportunity.

AgroReGenerations began with a simple but powerful principle: farmers and communities must always be beneficiaries, never extractors. From that foundation, the initiative has grown into a network of pilots across Kenya, Indonesia, and Southern Europe, each site serving as a living laboratory. Farmers in these regions are experimenting with agroforestry, soil restoration, mushroom cultivation, and biochar — practices rooted in local knowledge but elevated by new forms of digital verification.

Central to this effort is AgroConnect, the project’s data and monitoring platform. Going live this week with baseline datasets covering 13,600 hectares and roughly 650 farmers, the dashboard turns ecological activity into a transparent record. Using satellite imagery, soil tests, field agent surveys, and AI analysis, it produces verifiable data streams that policymakers, businesses, and investors can trust. In a landscape too often plagued by greenwashing, AgroReGenerations is building credibility through evidence.

The technical architecture behind AgroReGenerations is anchored in its EPiD token, a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency already deployed with ownership relinquished for transparency. The project is undergoing a comprehensive security audit, exploring multi-chain options, and implementing token lockups to ensure long-term stability. While carbon offsets are not yet fully codified, the framework is ready and will be introduced once the audit is complete. An updated whitepaper will soon reflect this progress, capturing AgroReGenerations’ trajectory from vision to execution.

What sets the initiative apart is not just the technology but the team. Alongside Jones stand four co-founders representing diverse genders, backgrounds, and geographies, supported by a committed group of ten core members. With limited resources, they have achieved milestones many larger ventures would struggle to match. Their collective expertise spans environmental science, finance, software engineering, and community development, creating a foundation as interdisciplinary as the challenges they address.

Partnerships have been key. AgroReGenerations recently secured FoodWithThought.ai as a major technical partner, bringing AI-driven capabilities in data analysis, emissions valuation, and audit tools. Two additional partners contribute to specialized modules for verification and resource centers, strengthening the project’s credibility and resilience.

Financial sustainability is also built into the design. Revenue streams include holistic, farmer-first carbon offsets, B2B dashboard services, big data subscriptions, consulting and fractional executive support, and community-led initiatives such as mushroom grow rooms, youth biochar, and female-led enterprises. Each stream reinforces the project’s core principle: regeneration must directly benefit the people restoring the land.

Recognition is beginning to follow. AgroReGenerations has been submitted to the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration Hub and is awaiting approval, a process that typically takes a few weeks. The project has also applied to join the Global Soil Partnership (GSP), aligning itself with international efforts to secure soil health. And on December 21, the team will launch the PatchRoot Journal, a seasonal journal and public digital commons guided by a stewardship circle to share insights, datasets, and stories from the ground.

For Jones, the work is not about creating a speculative token or chasing fleeting trends. It is about designing a system where finance, ecology, and community are woven together. EPiD channels capital back into regeneration; AgroConnect makes impact visible and verifiable; partnerships ensure scientific and technical rigor; and farmers remain at the heart of it all.

AgroReGenerations is still young, but its trajectory is clear. By combining local action with global transparency, it is shaping a new model of climate finance — one where restoring ecosystems is not just an environmental act but an economic right. As Michael Jones often reminds his team, the future is not only about reducing harm. It is about planting the seeds of regeneration and ensuring those who plant them thrive.
