Regenerative Agriculture
Regenerative Agriculture is the way forward
We are what we eat, but what exactly are we eating?
Through decades of conventional farming practices we have degraded and eroded our soil and destroyed natural ecosystems. The soil, one of our most valuable natural resources, is now in a state of disrepair.
Regenerative agriculture holds the solution to many of our modern day problems like climate change and soil erosion. Through sustainable agricultural practices we can start to regenerate our soil and produce.
Regenerative agriculture embraces the principles of minimizing soil disruption, maximizing crop diversity, protecting the soil by keeping it covered, keeping the soil alive by encouraging live-plant roots throughout the year and integrating a variety of livestock. This is all done in a holistic manner taking into account the context in which production will be carried out.
The future of agriculture lies in working with nature not against it.
Why we need to change to Regenerative Agriculture
-
We make more money from the same land!
-
We store carbon in the soil rather than releasing it to the atmosphere.
-
We build our soils rather than exporting our most valuable commodity every year.
-
We make every millimeter of rain count. Limited run off.
-
Everyone benefits. Our farmers, workers and customers are much healthier.
