Regenerative Agriculture: A Strategic Approach for Farming

Cropaia

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.

The Dirt on Cover Crops

Modern Farmer

Cover crops refer to vegetation planted in empty fields— covering the soil, get it?—at They can also be added to crop rotations to improve soil health in fields that have been degraded from growing the same thing year after year. Cover cropping is a means of increasing soil fertility without chemicals.

We Can’t Achieve Food Justice if We Don’t Prioritize Soil Health

Food Tank

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.
