Regenerative Agriculture” describes farming and grazing practices that, among other benefits, reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity – resulting in both carbon drawdown and improving the water cycle. 

The agricultural industry is considered one of the world’s worst polluters. For instance, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, it’s responsible for 24 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Now is the time to save the world’s farming systems – and it all starts with the soil.

The future of agriculture may draw more from its past than the presentIf you had to think about what is needed on a modern farm, you would think ploughs, fertilizer, pesticides, irrigation and the best developed seeds.

In an interview with Acres U.S.A, Shane New discusses the need for farmers to take a more biological approach to farming to promote regenerative agriculture.

In his opening address to the Savory Institute global conference in London on August 1, Alan Savory said that while agriculture is the foundation of civilization and of any stable economy, it is also, when poorly practiced, the most destructive industry—even more so than coal mining.

No matter where you are in the world, one thing ties people together: We all gotta eat. But the ways people go about producing food can have disastrous consequences for the environment.

The past year has shown us the importance of health as the world battles the Covid-19 pandemic. But, it is crucial to also not forget the health of our planet which is in crisis caused by climate change and the collapse of biodiversity as a result of exploitation of our natural resources.

One of the major culprits regardinging biodiversity loss is the agricultural industry.

If you pay attention to news in agricultural production, you have probably seen the term “regenerative” somewhere lately

There’s that chicken-and-egg thing that generally accompanies seismic shifts in attitudes followed by behavioral adjustments that are the hallmarks of change for an industry and its consumers.

There’s a growing consensus emerging among soil scientists that regenerative agriculture could deliver a huge win for the climate.

Sustainable farmingis the name for a loose set of agricultural practices that work together to sustain the economic viability of farming by working with natural processes rather than against them.

I was recently made aware of this article by author, George Monbiot, damning organic, pasture-fed beef and lamb as the world’s most damaging farm products.

If you feel like you’re suddenly hearing the word “regenerative” all the time, you’re not wrong. The concept has gained considerable traction in the last year, although it’s not new to the Rainforest Alliance.

There are two major food production issues facing you right now, the one is human health and the other is the environment with a direct link to climate change.

To achieve sustainable nutrition and global food security we must evolve our current agri-food system into one that is more resilient, productive and climate-positive

 Farms that used regenerative agriculture practices such as no-till farming, cover crops and diverse crop rotations produced crops with higher levels of certain vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals than farms using conventional practices, according to results in a study from the University of Washington.
