Regenerative agriculture focuses on restoring and enhancing ecosystems on farms by applying principles and practices designed to work with the land. It aims to protect and improve soil biodiversity, enhance climate resilience, conserve water resources, and increase carbon sequestration in the soil, all while making farming more productive and profitable without resorting to harsh chemical inputs.
Regenerative agriculture employs a collection of practices that focus on regenerating soil health by increasing the soil biology. Improved soil health promotes better plant growth and resilience. Regenerative agriculture practices can include cover cropping, crop rotation, low- to no-till, making use of animal excrement and zero use of persistent chemical pesticides and fertilisers.
Cover cropping is the practice of planting multi-species seed in soil profile either after a cash crop is grown and harvested, or as a multi-species pasture for grazing animals. By keeping living roots in the soil, cover crops reduce soil erosion, increase water retention, improve soil health and increase soil biodiversity.
