What is Regenerative Agriculture?

Image
 There are several outcomes associated with regenerative agriculture, and most regenerative farms use multi-species cover crops rather than insecticides. Conventional farmers do not graze their cropland. The regenerative farms have pest-resilient food systems and can outperform chemical pest control. In some studies, regenerative agriculture has been found to improve soil quality and yields, as well as animal and plant health. Regenerative Agriculture practices include the management of soil, especially the use of carbon (C) to increase yields and mitigate climate change. Soil organic matter serves several functions in the soil, including providing food for plants and supporting microbial life. The more carbon in the soil, the more productive the crop. Regenerative agriculture has become an important tool in achieving sustainable farming methods. However, it may require a bit of work and research. The definition of regenerative agriculture can vary. A regenerative agriculture study...
