Regenerative agriculture is an integrative and holistic farming approach that seeks to restore and enhance the resilience and health of ecosystems while producing food. This method goes beyond sustainability by actively regenerating soil health, increasing biodiversity, and improving watershed functions through practices like crop rotation, agroforestry, and no-till farming. It views the farm as a dynamic system that harmonizes with nature's cycles and processes, aiming to rebuild organic matter and sequester carbon, thus contributing to climate change mitigation. By fostering symbiotic relationships between plants, animals, and microorganisms, regenerative agriculture aspires to create a more equitable, viable, and nourishing food system for both current and future generations, emphasizing the interconnectedness of environmental, economic, and social well-being.
