The Promise of Regenerative Agriculture
Regenerative agriculture —a set of practices that farmers use to prioritize soil health, improve watershed health and enhance biodiversity —can provide us with the food we eat by working with nature, not against it.
These practices often leverage long-standing traditional knowledge with modern-day technology and scientific innovation to blend generations of expertise from people closest to the land. This program will shine a light on farmers, communities and researchers around the globe that are putting regenerative agriculture into practice using techniques like:
- cover crops that ensure soil is never left bare for long —minimizing the disturbance of soil by leaving roots in the ground and reducing plowing or tilling;
- intecropping —planting different types of crops that benefit each other in the same field;
- lessening dependence on chemical fertilizers through applying compost;
- efficiently using water;
- moving grazing livestock between different pastures; and
- various agroforestry approaches.
