Regenerative Agriculture

Edit

Regenerative agriculture refers to an approach to agricultural production that seeks to restore and enhance the ecological functions of farming systems, particularly soil health, biodiversity, nutrient cycling, and water regulation, while maintaining productive capacity. Rather than prescribing a single standardized production method, it combines context-specific practices such as reduced or no tillage, cover cropping, diversified crop rotations, organic amendments, agroforestry, and integrated crop–livestock management [1][2]. These practices aim to increase soil organic matter, improve soil structure and water retention, support beneficial soil organisms, and reduce erosion and dependence on external inputs. At the ecosystem level, regenerative agriculture emphasizes the recovery of biological interactions and ecological processes that sustain agricultural landscapes [2][3]. However, definitions and assessment criteria remain diverse, and the environmental outcomes of individual practices depend on soil conditions, climate, management intensity, and implementation duration [1][3].
