Regenerative Farming
Can Soil Help Save the Climate?
Regenerative farming rebuilds the living systems beneath crops rather than treating soil as an inert growing medium. Its toolkit includes cover crops, diverse rotations, compost, biochar, reduced disturbance, careful grazing and rewetted peatlands. These practices can improve soil structure, store carbon, retain water and support biodiversity while keeping farms productive. It is not one technique, but a flexible toolkit for healthier, more resilient land.
