That's a concise and clear definition of regenerative agriculture! It encapsulates the essence of the approach, emphasizing its focus on sustainability, soil health, and ecosystem benefits. Regenerative agriculture holds promise not only for improving agricultural productivity but also for mitigating climate change and enhancing biodiversity. What's your involvement or interest in regenerative agriculture? Here the BCG made a real interesting review of the Regenerative Agriculture in Germany! https://lnkd.in/gS-UzqrD #germany #regenerative #agriculture

🌱📈 Did you know? Mentions of Regenerative Agriculture on social media platforms have surged by more than 3500% from 2020 to 2023, as per data from SGS Digicomply's Horizon Scanning. 🌾 In this enlightening exploration of Regenerative Agriculture, we delve into its core principles, unravel its profound impact on ecosystem restoration, and examine its pivotal role in sustainable farming practices. 🌿 Discover the full article to gain valuable insights into the transformative potential of Regenerative Agriculture: https://lnkd.in/endu85PX #sgsdigicomply #RegenerativeAgriculture #Sustainability #Farming #EcosystemRestoration #SoilHealth #AgriculturalPrinciples #CarbonSequestration

What benefits are farmers seeing from adopting regenerative approaches to agriculture? Over the past few months we’ve been listening to six different farmers’ perspectives on the positive impacts of regenerative farming. And we’ve produced a new series of case studies on this topic. The reported benefits are ecological, financial and social. Benefits for soil and landscape health included more diverse grass species, extended growing seasons, better mineral cycling and water infiltration, and more top soil with increased soil carbon. Production benefits included lower running costs and increased productivity between seasons and resilience in extreme weather events. And some of the social and personal benefits included personal growth, new knowledge, self-efficacy, better family connections and a stronger position with customers and buyers. We’re grateful to all of our participating case study farmers for sharing their insights for this project.

There is no doubt that the regenerative agriculture movement is growing. With all the momentum comes increased awareness of and dialogue around the ecological, climate, and agronomic benefits of regenerative agriculture. Much less talked about, however, is the economics of regenerative agriculture and this is holding the space back. Here I dig into four reasons we need to talk more about the economics and the role of capital in regenerative agriculture: 🌱 The right economics will drive adoption 🕵🏼♀️ Regenerative agriculture needs to be demystified 🏦 To build a new approach to food, we also need a new approach to finance 🚀 We need more capital flowing to regenerative agriculture and food systems Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gXuCAT2X #investment #farming #agriculture #regenerativeagriculture #farmfinance #foodsystems

A community's economy becomes resilient and sustainable around regenerative farmers. A core component of regenerative agriculture is working with the crop on its level. That means different crops serve two-three purposes/functions for resilience. Take cattails for example. As a perennial it is planted one time and once it is established different parts can be harvested throughout the year. The new shoots are edible and many eat them in salad. The flowers are akin to corn on the cob- boil and add butter. Someone may decide to purchase the flour made from the rootstalks of the cattail and sell it at the local farmer's market etc. Others may make beautiful baskets from the leaves. That's 4 different products from one plant! Cattails are also powerful filters in Riparian ecosystems, paving the way for other more sensitive perennials and herbs that can be used. Meanwhile soil quality increases, new little habitats are formed, and while initially there may be an inbalance it will even out. Overall the ecological capital will increase and while this is happening, new jobs are becoming possible because of one plant.

Are you ready to start your regenerative farming journey? 👣 Do you want to learn more about regenerating the land and ecosystems for the future health of the planet? Last week at the 2024 Waitrose & Partners Farming Conference and the official announcement of #FarmingForNature, we launched our NEW technical booklet: Six Simple Steps to Regenerative Agriculture. Featuring engaging case studies, new perspectives, interesting facts, practical advice and innovative ideas, the booklet aims to support farmers and growers with more #regenerative farming practices whilst maintaining and securing a profitable business. The booklet covers the following steps: 1)  Limiting soil disturbance 2)  Keeping soil covered 3)  Keeping living roots in the soil 4)  Increasing the diversity of plants 5)  Integrating livestock into the system 6)  Generating relationships Which if followed, will aim to: 🪱 Regenerate the health of soils 🌳 Regenerate the land and ecosystems 🗣️ Generate knowledge, collaboration, and relationships 🍎 Generate healthy and resilient food and farming solutions 💰 Generate value 🌍 Generate climate change solutions Find out more and download the booklet for FREE here: >>>>https://lnkd.in/dB-y9pfc #regenerativefarming #sixsimplestepstoregen #soilhealth #sustainability #farmingfornature #environment #climatepositive #regenerate #climateaction #IntegratedFarmManagement Joe Stanley, ARAgS, The GWCT Allerton Project, David W., Daisy Wood, Clare Mike

Great online e-booklet from LEAF detailing the six simple steps to regenerative agriculture 👣

Zachary Ducheneaux at the USDA Farm Service Agency highlights the importance of “a sustainable return on a long term investment” in agriculture. #Regenerativeagriculture is not only a financial investment, but a holistic one as well. The benefits that regenerative agriculture has on the environment, soil health, and farm longevity are undeniable. We’ll be learning more about the comprehensive advantages of regenerative systems at the State of Regenerative Agriculture (SORA) in September! Apply for SORA: whyregenerative.com #RegenerativeNYC

Exciting developments in regenerative agriculture! Two new reports, 'Bridging the Regenerative Agriculture Financing Gap' and 'Surf to Turf: Linking Regenerative Agriculture and Restorative Aquaculture in Coastal Foodscapes,' are shedding light on the immense potential of regenerative practices. These reports delve into how regenerative farming can combat climate change, enhance food system resilience, and promote worker and community wellbeing. They also address financing challenges and highlight opportunities for transformative changes in our food systems. Curious to learn more?
