Origins is a platform for catalyzing the development of regenerative production and trade systems by bringing
farmers, buyers, investors and project developers together to collaborate towards shared regenerative aims.

We SUPPORT farmer capacity building, agroecological transition and bioregional regenerative development.

We BUILD farmer cooperatives, local processing, aggregation and logistics infrastructure and digital technologies.

We DEVELOP local and global markets for diverse regenerative products for multiple sectors and industries.

We VERIFY the regenerative outcomes associated with production and processing to meet evolving marketing and compliance requirements.

About

Origins was conceived in 2023 to support smallholder rubber farmers to transition to regenerative agriculture, establish data collection networks and to access equitable markets for regenerative agriculture goods and outcome data.

As a platform cooperative, Origins extends the use of cooperative principles into the digital arena to include novel infrastructure, institutions and instruments for tracking supply system outcomes, financing and coordinating community led regeneration of agricultural landscapes and developing markets for diverse agricultural goods.

Rubber

Wanakaset (วนเกษตร), combines “Wana” (forest) and “Kaset” (agriculture) and refers to an integrated, regenerative philosophy of farming, a network of practitioners, and form of agroforestry indigenous to Thailand that emphasizes harmony between agricultural systems and natural forest ecosystems.

We support a network of smallholder farmer cooperatives in southern Thailand to develop a watershed scale regenerative rubber initiative and to create longterm market partnerships with mission-oriented buyers.
