Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farming and land management that seeks to improve soil health and biodiversity while also reducing the carbon footprint of agriculture. 

Goals of regenerative agriculture system.

The goal of regenerative agriculture is to build resilient, self-sustaining farming systems that produce healthy food while protecting the environment, regenerative agriculture can also help to reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture.

Soil health is maintained through a variety of practices that help to build soil organic matter, increase microbial activity, and promote nutrient cycling.

Biodiversity

For achieving biodiversity a variety of crops and planting techniques are used, promoting a range of different plant species. 

By increasing the diversity of plants on a farm, for supporting beneficial insects and pollinators, and reducing the risk of crop failure due to disease or weather events.

Crop covering 

Planting various crops to help protect and nourish the soil, reduce erosion, and increase water retention۔

for example clovers, buckwheat, cowpeas, and radish.

No-till farming

Leaving the soil undisturbed as much as possible helps to reduce erosion, and promote soil health.

Agroforestry

Trees, shrubs, herbs, and other plants help to secure soil health and provide habitat for wildlife.

Prrestiside management

Using a variety of techniques to control pesticides and diseases, such as natural predators, crop rotation,

and others instead of relying on synthetic pesticides.

Regenerative grazing

livestock is used for natural grazing patterns, which can help improve soil health with their natural waste and improve plant growth by grazing.

Composting

using organic waste in fields completes the natural cycle and soil quality, and fertility.

Agroecology

Designing agricultural systems that mimic natural ecosystems, which can help promote biodiversity and improve soil health.

Water management

using practices such as rainwater harvesting, irrigation, and soil moisture monitoring to improve water efficiency and reduce water usage.

Soil testing

 regularly testing soil to monitor levels,  of pH, and other factors, which can help farmers make decisions about fertilization and other practices.

Biomimicry

 solutions inspired by nature  to design agricultural systems that are more sustainable, and important for

and other ecosystems function.

Crop rotation

alternating different crops in the same field from year to year to help replenish nutrients in the soil, but different types of crops consume from different levels of the soil.
