Case Study: Microgeo and its journey with Regenera for Inputs

Allterra is a regenerative and sustainable agriculture platform that integrates science, biotechnology, and positive environmental impact in developing solutions aimed at building more efficient, healthy, and productive soils — with a focus on long-term sustainable agricultural systems.

Its portfolio brings together consolidated technologies, including Microgeo, a benchmark for 25 years in microbiological soil management within a regenerative framework, and TMF Fertilizantes solutions, with 18 years of expertise in developing high-efficiency, sustainability-oriented fertilizers.

Together, these solutions support soil profile development, increased biodiversity, organic matter enrichment, and improvements in the nutritional and sanitary aspects of the productive environment. The company operates throughout Brazil and neighboring countries, engaging with different productive realities and biomes through a technically adapted approach for each context.

The Challenge

The results of Allterra | Microgeo's solutions were already widely recognized in the field. Farmers, distributors, and agronomists have used and recommended their regenerative technologies for years — making practical proof a well-established point.

The challenge was of a different nature: translating this technical and environmental trajectory into an official, auditable, and internationally recognized protocol, aligned with growing global sustainability requirements. Without external certification, the company communicated its positive impacts based on its own evidence — which worked well for those already familiar with the company, but limited dialogue with new markets, institutional partners, and value chains with stricter independent verification requirements.

The Regenera for Inputs Certification came to fill exactly that gap: not one of quality, but of visibility and formal verification of an already established track record.

Motivations for Certification

The decision was driven by three converging fronts:

• Genuine environmental commitment: The certification aligned with Allterra's core mission of leading the transition to more regenerative agriculture in Brazil — making that purpose verifiable and communicable in concrete terms.

• Brand positioning evolution: In a market increasingly guided by ESG criteria, transparency and technical consistency have become competitive differentiators. The certification reinforced this positioning with an independent endorsement.

• Client and partner demand: The pressure for regenerative solutions validated by recognized standards grew significantly, especially in supply chains operating in international markets or working with sustainable procurement criteria.

Choosing QIMA

QIMA was selected for its international expertise in sustainable certifications, its structured methodology, and its evidence-based approach — characteristics that directly align with Allterra's scientific and regenerative vision.

The certification process was conducted in a technical, transparent, and collaborative manner, involving field audits, document analysis, and detailed verification of production processes. In addition to confirming compliance with Regenera for Inputs criteria, the process generated relevant internal learnings: strengthened controls, identification of improvement opportunities, and consolidation of existing best practices. Throughout every stage, there was technical clarity and alignment between QIMA's audit team and Allterra's internal teams.

Certification Scope — Evaluated Modules

Allterra | Microgeo achieved verified conformity in the base Regenera for Inputs module and five additional modules, reflecting a broad and integrated sustainability approach:

Regenera Governance + Ethics: Assessment of governance structure, internal policies, defined responsibilities, and decision-making mechanisms aligned with sustainability and integrity principles.

Regenera Social + Fair: Assessment of responsible business practices, fair relationships with partners and suppliers, and alignment with equity and transparency principles.

Results Achieved

The certification generated concrete impacts across three dimensions:

• Internally, it strengthened governance, standardized processes, improved traceability throughout the production chain, and engaged teams and technical partners around the regenerative agenda.

• Externally, it expanded credibility with farmers, distributors, and institutional partners, and facilitated export operations by ensuring compliance with international sustainability criteria — broadening market access and adding value to clients' agricultural products.

• In communications, it made it possible to translate already consolidated practices into a globally verified and recognized language, strengthening dialogue with value chains that require independent proof of environmental impact.

The Allterra | Microgeo experience demonstrates that certification works as a structuring instrument for organizations that already operate consistently and wish to evidence their practices through independent verification. More than a seal, it is a tool for internal organization, competitive differentiation, and access to markets that value transparency and proven environmental responsibility.
