Farmer’s Footprint Launches Regenerada 2.0 — A Regenerative Nutrition Collaboration Powered by Mikuna Chocho

Regenerative agriculture isn’t just a farming method — it’s a movement restoring ecosystems, protecting biodiversity, and reconnecting people with the origins of their food. On July 18, 2024, Mikuna joined forces with Farmer’s Footprint to launch Regenerada 2.0, a limited-release smoothie crafted to celebrate soil health, community, and nutrient-dense eating.
This collaboration marks an exciting new milestone in the regenerative food space — and shines a spotlight on Chocho, the ancient Andean superfood at the heart of Mikuna.

What Is Regenerada 2.0?

Regenerada 2.0 is a continuation of Farmer’s Footprint’s community-driven initiative to highlight brands working in harmony with nature. The smoothie was created to showcase ingredients grown through ecological farming practices, supporting both people and planet.

The star ingredient: Mikuna Chocho Superfood Protein, a clean, complete plant protein sourced from regenerative, high-altitude farming communities in Ecuador.
Unlike many plant proteins that rely on isolates, chemical solvents, or monocrop systems, Chocho delivers whole-food nutrition grown in a way that strengthens ecosystems rather than depleting them.

Why Chocho Is a Regenerative Protein

Chocho (Lupinus mutabilis) stands out as one of the most environmentally efficient crops on the planet — making it the perfect anchor for the Regenerada 2.0 smoothie.

Here’s why:

Natural Nitrogen Fixer

Chocho naturally fixes nitrogen into the soil, improving fertility and reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers that damage ecosystems.

Thrives in Harsh Conditions

It grows in nutrient-poor, high-altitude soils, requiring minimal inputs, low irrigation, and zero chemical support.

Supports Biodiversity

Chocho is traditionally used in crop rotations, helping regenerate soil structure, reduce erosion, and support balanced ecosystems.

Grown by Regenerative Farming Communities

Mikuna sources Chocho directly from Andean farmers who maintain soil stewardship practices passed down over generations.

Choosing Chocho means choosing a protein that supports soil, farmers, and climate resilience.

What Regenerada 2.0 Means for Conscious Consumers

The partnership between Farmer’s Footprint and Mikuna illustrates a powerful truth: nutrition and ecology are directly connected.

By choosing regenerative ingredients like Chocho, consumers are:

• Supporting soil health

• Reducing environmental impact

• Strengthening biodiversity

• Empowering Indigenous Andean farming communities

• Choosing a cleaner, whole-food protein without isolates or harsh processing

Regenerada 2.0 is more than a smoothie — it’s a demonstration of what the future of food can look like.
