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.

Increase Yields More diverse rotations can boost crop yields and resilience. While this crop rotation provides some diversity, what if growers added other crops into these rotations? In turn, this led to an increase in yields. Farmers plant corn one year and soybeans the following year.
