  • What is Regenerative Agriculture?
    2025/05/01

    There's a growing movement of sustainable food experts and enthusiasts advocating for a change in farming practices. The recent shift towards regenerative agriculture practices stems from a few promising studies and an awareness that proves to be superior to conventional agriculture processes. But what is regenerative agriculture?

    Regenerative agriculture is more than a farming method; it's a transformative approach that aims to revitalize and enhance the entire agricultural ecosystem. This practice prioritizes the health of soil, biodiversity, and integration with natural elements that work harmoniously with the ecosystem to produce food sustainably.

    Conventional agriculture often relies on synthetic fertilizers and intensive practices that deplete the soil nutrients. Regenerative agriculture seeks to restore organic matter, improve soil fertility, and boost crop resilience. By focusing on soil health and creating an ecosystem, regenerative agriculture not only supports higher crop yields but also mitigates environmental impacts, offering a promising path for the future of farming.

    One of our top trends this year was regenerative agriculture. It's come up in our episode on Juneberry Ridge, our trends page, and our podcast. It’s a movement quickly picking up speed as an essential element of creating a more sustainable food system. Explore critical components of regenerative agriculture, the challenges with conventional agriculture, and the future of farming.
