The Impact of Regenerative Agriculture on Soil Health
soil is the foundation of agriculture, but intensive farming, overuse of chemicals, and monocropping have degraded soil quality worldwide. regenerative agriculture is an approach that focuses on restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity, and improving ecosystem biomedis functions while maintaining productive farming systems. 1. what is regenerative agriculture? regenerative agriculture emphasizes farming practices that rebuild soil organic matter, enhance nutrient cycling, and restore natural ecosystems. unlike conventional agriculture, which often depletes soil, regenerative practices aim to improve soil fertility and resilience over time. 2. cover cropping planting cover crops such as legumes, clover, or rye between main crops protects the soil from erosion, suppresses weeds, and adds organic matter. cover crops improve soil structure, enhance microbial activity, and naturally replenish nutrients, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. 3. no-till and reduced till...
