Resilience in #agroecology
"Diversified agroecological systems are more resilient – they have a greater capacity to recover from disturbances including extreme weather events such as drought, floods or hurricanes; and to resist pest and disease attack. Following Hurricane Mitch in Central America in 1998, biodiverse farms including #agroforestry, #contourfarming and #covercropping retained 20–40 percent more topsoil, suffered less erosion and experienced lower economic losses than neighboring farms practicing conventional #monocultures."

#RegenerativeAgriculture Goes Mainstream
by Jan Lee Jul 10th 2025
"The world’s hottest year on record may also mark the beginning of the end for carbon-intensive, conventional farming. Several factors have converged to bring regenerative practices into the mainstream, while a new study demonstrates that farmers can produce just as much food while improving land productivity by transitioning away from conventional practices.
"#RegenerativeFarming first hit headlines as part of '#LivingSystemsThinking' in the 1960s, later gaining interest among health-conscious foodies when the concept was popularized by food author #MichaelPollan. Today, techniques such as #CoverCropping and integrated pest management are being embraced not only by #environmental activists but also by multinational food companies. The difference is that now, this approach is celebrated for its practical effectiveness in maintaining a consistent food supply in an era of #ClimateChange-driven supply shocks."

Farmers in the Rio Grande Valley are studying an ancient technique to cope with the climate crisis: cover cropping. Cover cropping involves planting crops that protect and enrich the soil and reduce water and fertilizer use. Cover cropping also helps farmers diversify their income and improve their resilience to droughts and floods.
