Agroecology Crop Crop Rotation

Initially, farmers and corporations alike wade into the shallow end, implementing relatively simple and inexpensive techniques such as cover cropping and minimal tillage to optimize for soil health and carbon sequestration. In the deep end, outcomes are sought to benefit the farmers and stewards of whole landscapes themselves.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in regenerative agriculture, a holistic approach to farming that seeks to restore and revitalize the land while improving crop yields and overall farm profitability. This means increased crop yields and reduced inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. What’s in It for Farmers?

Who manages land determines which scientific perspectives, crop choices, traditions, and skills shape the landscape, with profound implications for its ecological sustainability. In cropping systems, it may include increasing structural diversity of the crops themselves, as by having cut and uncut strips of alfalfa.

Poor soils can cut crop yields by up to 50 percent—which, if we’re not careful, could result in more soil being tilled to grow more crops, which degrades more soil, which pushes us closer to climate catastrophe. And that has direct impacts on our food supply and climate. We’re seeing the power of storytelling, too.

Biointensive no-till farming systems endeavor to maximize on-farm biodiversity, minimize disturbance, maximize crop density, and sequester soil carbon. In the field, these principles can be implemented through practices such as intensive crop rotations, polycultures, maintaining continuous ground cover, and applying compost.

From losing seed crops as wildfires rage for weeks, losing entire crops due to erratic freezes, to losing farms as drought dries up available water, farmers’ risks are rising. Currently, CSP only offers SAPs for Resource Conserving Crop Rotations , Improved Resource Conserving Crop Rotations , and Advanced Grazing Management.
