What is it?
Regenerative agriculture is a holistic approach to farming and land management that aims to restore and enhance the health of soil, ecosystems, and communities. It focuses on rebuilding soil organic matter, increasing biodiversity, and promoting the natural cycles of carbon, water, and nutrients, while producing high-quality, nutrient-dense food. Regenerative agriculture practices, such as cover cropping, crop rotation, and reduced tillage, aim to improve soil structure, increase organic matter, and enhance soil microbial activity.
Why is it important?
Regenerative agriculture practices can help restore degraded land, reduce erosion, improve water retention and quality, and enhance biodiversity, promoting long-term environmental sustainability.
What industries will it impact?
- Climate change mitigation: By sequestering carbon in the soil and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture, regenerative practices can contribute to global efforts to mitigate climate change.
- Food security and nutrition: Regenerative agriculture can improve soil fertility and produce more nutrient-dense food, enhancing food security and nutrition for a growing global population.
