Our exchange programs are unique and powerful opportunities to grow as a Regenerative Steward and to become a key ambassador for Regenerative Vanua and the Regenerative Verification Program. This exchange is not a typical training or workshop — it’s a shared journey of learning, unlearning, and reconnecting.
The Regenerative Pacific Learning Exchange is a component of the Regional Pacific Regenerative Verification Initiative an official program under the post-2025 Pacific Aid-for-Trade Strategy – with Regenerative Vanua designated as the organisation responsible for implementing the Regenerative Verification Program in the Pacific. Through the work of Regenerative Vanua, Vanuatu has been recognised by the Pacific Islands Forum as demonstrating leadership in regenerative agritourism and regenerative gastronomy, particularly through the development of the Regenerative Verification Program.
Our May Exchange Program will be held in the Northern Rivers, where you’ll stay with hosts on a regenerative farm, and experience workshops by different farmers, agribusiness operators, chefs and agritourism hosts who are all at different stages of their regenerative journey, and ready to share stories and learn from one another and from our participants.
As one of the selected participants, you will join a movement committed to reshaping the future of Pacific Vanuas through regenerative practices that honour our lands, waters, cultures, and people. The Regenerative Pacific Learning Exchange is multidirectional and decentred. Rather than employing a hierarchy of ‘instructors’ and ‘students’ - everyone is considered a participant, engaged in forming deep and critical connections which can be drawn on for support and resilience.
Facilitated by Regenerative Vanua in collaboration with the Regenerative Stewardship Collective, and supported by a rich network of partners this exchange brings together diverse voices from across the region. Together, we are co-creating regenerative pathways that centre Indigenous knowledge systems, foster sovereignty, and build economic resilience through Regenerative Agriculture, Agritourism, Gastronomy, Nutrition, and Value Addition.
