The regenerative model concept has gained significant traction in both Brazilian and American business spheres since the 2010s, reflecting growing concerns about climate change and social inequality. In Brazil, it is particularly relevant in agriculture, fashion, and tourism sectors. In the USA, it is widely adopted in corporate sustainability strategies and impact investing. The concept represents a philosophical shift from 'doing no harm' (sustainability) to 'actively improving' (regeneration) environmental and social systems.
