Extreme weather, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss are reshaping agriculture. To maintain productivity in the long run, farmers are turning to regenerative practices that build resilience from the ground up.
Soil: the foundation of productive farming
Healthy soil retains water, stores nutrients, and supports plant growth. Regenerative practices like cover cropping and minimal disturbance boost fertility while reducing drought and rain impact.
- Improved water absorption helps crops in dry spells.
- Organic matter supports microbes and enriches fertility.
- Reduced tillage prevents erosion, keeping nutrients intact.
Biodiversity: a key factor for climate adaptation
Integrating plant diversity and maintaining natural habitats brings multiple benefits to farms, aligning with the goal of 37% climate mitigation by 2030:
- Increases natural pollination, reducing reliance on external inputs.
- Strengthens pest resistance, minimizing chemical dependency.
- Promotes healthier crops, leading to better harvests over time, contributing to climate resilience and reducing climate change impacts on agricultural ecosystems.
Agriculture is evolving, and regenerative practices are playing a key role in adapting to climate risks. Want to know more? Let’s discuss how these strategies can apply to different crops.
