Centre of Excellence

Nico Roozen International Center of Excellence for Regenerative Agriculture

The Nico Roozen International Center of Excellence for Regenerative Agriculture, located at Barkheda Kharet in Sehore district, Madhya Pradesh, is a dedicated centre for demonstrating, promoting and scaling regenerative agriculture.

Named after Dr. Nico Roozen, Honorary President of Solidaridad Network, the Centre serves as a practical learning and demonstration hub where farmers, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), rural entrepreneurs, researchers and agricultural practitioners can explore regenerative farming methods and innovative agricultural solutions.

By bringing together field demonstrations, training, technology and knowledge exchange, the Centre helps translate regenerative agriculture principles into practical approaches suited to farming conditions.

Our Approach

Turning Knowledge into Action

The Centre provides a space where regenerative agriculture can be observed, experienced and adapted to local farming realities. Through demonstrations and practical learning, it helps bridge the gap between agricultural knowledge and on-farm implementation.

Its approach is built around a simple progression:

Demonstrate Learn Adapt Adopt Scale

By connecting practical experience with capacity building and innovation, the Centre contributes to Solidaridad’s broader efforts to advance regenerative agriculture, improve farm resilience and support more sustainable food systems.
