How can mushrooms help support regenerative farming methods? At Booneslick Heritage Farm, a family-owned flower and vegetable farm in Mid-Missouri, mushrooms are an integral part of the agriculture system. Matt Arthur, the farm's co-owner, is on a mission to improve overall soil health and reduce fertilizer use through a handful of regenerative practices. For instance, their Golden oyster mushrooms aren't just a crop. Post-harvest, they're turned into compost gold—used to feed worms, making a natural fertilizer known as worm castings, also a seed starting mix. Talk about a full-circle farm-to-fork (and back-to-farm) story! #regenerativefarming #regenerativeagriculture #sustainablefarming #mycology #mushrooms

🌍 Regenerative Agriculture from Farmers' Points of View While the benefits of healthier soil, reduced fertilizers, and improved yields are enticing, the transition to regenerative agriculture can be daunting for farmers. The process sometimes invites skepticism from peers and can be mentally taxing – but it's also what needs to happen. As one farmer puts it: "I would never go back to farming like I used to farm." What will it take to bring #regenerative fully mainstream? Hear how growers like Fred Yoder have gone from seed to scale → https://bit.ly/farmerspov #agriculture #sustainability #soil #soilhealth #regenag #regen #ag #regenerativeagriculture

Healthy soil is business critical. That’s why we’re partnering with farmers and suppliers to introduce agricultural practices that not only protect the soil but also restore and replenish it. Now, results from our first regenerative agriculture projects show positive change is starting to grow with: 🌾 Less methane in our rice fields in Arkansas, USA 🐝 More pollinators in our tomato fields in Badajoz, Spain 👩🌾 523 soy famers committed to our cover crop programme in Iowa, USA And this is just the beginning. We’re planning on having more than 100 regenerative agriculture projects in the field by 2030. Read the full results here: https://lnkd.in/em7DmNFi #UnileverInsights

🌱 Great Harvesting Season at Exomad Green! 🌱 We are thrilled to keep sharing the incredible results from our latest harvest season. This marks the first time we've been able measure the impact of our biochar on different crops since we began operations, and the data is exciting! We've experimented with our biochar on various crops and soils, and the results speak for themselves. Across the board, plots treated with biochar have yielded significantly higher results: ➡ Potato Yields: Increased from 25.6 Tons/Ha to 31.1 Tons/Ha (21.5% increase) ➡ Bean Yields: Increased from 57 Q/Ha to 70 Q/Ha (22.8% increase) ➡ Onion Yields: Increased from 31.1 Tons/Ha to 37.6 Tons/Ha (20.9% increase) These findings highlight an often overlooked benefit of biochar. While its carbon sequestering abilities are well-known, the co-benefits for agriculture and soil enhancement are unique and highly valuable. We are very excited about these results and look forward to continuing our work in enhancing agricultural productivity while promoting sustainable practices. Stay tuned for more updates! #Biochar #Sustainability #Agriculture #SoilHealth #CarbonSequestration #ExomadGreen

Why spray the entire field of 10,000m2 when 50m2 will achieve the targeted results? Seed treatments are among the most significant advances for crop protection in terms of efficiency and sustainability, helping growers achieve greater precision in their crop protection management and use considerably less product, as evident in this infographic. With Seed Applied Technologies, growers can achieve a more focused footprint and reap the benefits of an eco-friendly technology. #SustainableAgriculture #WinTheStart #IPM #SAT

In basic terms, regenerative agriculture focuses on improving soil health through food production, but the specifics can be complicated. The need for a clear definition is up for debate, even though our 2021 Spotlight on Regenerative Agriculture outlined five key principles. Some have suggested adding 'context' as a sixth principle, though this idea has not been widely embraced. During the recent Future of UK Agriculture conference, a variety of stakeholders, including farmers, buyers, and researchers, discussed the importance of a universal definition for regenerative agriculture. More than half of the 79 participants agreed that a broad, flexible, and inclusive definition that is easy to understand is essential. While a universal definition is seen as crucial to prevent misleading claims and support marketing efforts, the unique conditions of each farm mean that production systems must be adapted and complex. This has led to calls for flexibility and the consideration of context as a fundamental principle in regenerative agriculture. Read more:
