Welcome to the Vanuatu Regenerative Agritourism, Gastronomy and Agribusiness Association (RAGAA)
Who are We
RAGAA brings together businesses, land and marine stewards, and customary custodians to grow regenerative work in Vanuatu. We support experiences, products, and enterprises that care for land, sea, culture, and community while building strong local livelihoods.
At the heart of RAGAA is a simple idea: when we work in ways that respect Vanua, we can protect what matters most and create value that lasts. RAGAA helps members show that their work is responsible, grounded, and genuinely regenerative.
RAGAA works closely with Regenerative Vanua, the Regenerative Verification Program, and national and regional partners.
