Overview
Regenerative agriculture goes beyond sustainable farming by actively restoring degraded soils, increasing biodiversity, and sequestering carbon. Practices include cover cropping, no-till farming, composting, diverse crop rotations, and integrated livestock management. This approach improves soil water retention, reduces chemical inputs, and enhances farm resilience to climate change. Major food companies are investing billions in regenerative supply chains, recognizing both environmental and economic benefits.
