Measurement, Reporting & Verification (MRV) in Brazil
Technical Guidance for Regenerative Agriculture and Nature Metrics
Published: October 30, 2025
Agri-food businesses and land-based industries must accelerate regenerative agriculture and sustainable land use to meet climate commitments, protect ecosystems, and strengthen resilient supply chains. Achieving this at scale requires alignment on outcomes, as well as cost-effective approaches to measure, report, and verify progress.
Through WBCSD and OP2B, 52 companies and 33 partner organizations representing over 1,100 businesses have converged on core outcomes and indicators for regenerative agriculture and sustainable land use at the global reporting level. This is a holistic set of environmental, social, and economic outcomes and indicators, in alignment with leading standards and areas of convergence. This work links corporate, policy and investor decision-making with actions at the farm and landscape levels (through SAI Platform).
Why MRV? Effective MRV has been identified by WBCSD members as a critical enabler for implementing outcome-based-indicators for regenerative agriculture and sustainable land use.
The agrifood and land-based sectors urgently require robust, scalable and harmonized MRV approaches to credibly measure impact, inform strategic decision-making and unlock finance to accelerate action and outcomes on the ground. Without harmonization, meaningful impact assessment is undermined, creating uncertainty for businesses, investors, and other stakeholders.
The Landscape Accelerator Brazil (LAB) built convergence around a set of core metrics to enable the regenerative transition in Brazil. This includes mapping existing frameworks from global and Brazilian sources to identify common approaches to outcomes across climate, nature, livelihoods and economics.
This document is a first version of practical, context-sensitive guidance on how organizations can measure, report and verify progress on regenerative outcomes in Brazil. This includes aligning with emerging global methodologies while accounting for local implementation realities, such as data availability, implementation cost, technical capacity, and existing reporting obligations.
