Regenerative Agriculture Concepts and Challenges

Regenerative agriculture offers a way to reverse climate change by improving farming practices. It includes methods like cover cropping, rotational grazing, and using compost. These practices not only reduce greenhouse gas emissions but also enhance soil health and crop yields. Although they require time, money, and training, they lead to greater farmer satisfaction and ecosystem health. Indigenous communities have long practiced these methods.
