#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."

#RegenerativeAgriculture has its roots in #Indigenous farming

Excerpt: "While regenerative agriculture is growing in business settings as a method of reducing agricultural impact, and as an emissions reduction method, indigenous farmers have been responding to environmental stimuli and promoting non-intensive farming methods for millennia. Indigenous groups and farmers are the best guardians of the world’s #ecosystems."

#Intercropping & #CropRotation are ancient #agricultural practices that increase yield & #DiseaseResistance in #crops. This Essay discusses the role of plant-derived metabolites & microbes in these systems and how they can contribute to #SustainableAgriculture

Today I met Isaac, a passionate #bananaFarming trainer. He grows bananas and beans on the same land true #intercropping innovation! 🌱 I’m excited to connect and learn more #sustainableFarming skills from him. Let’s keep supporting #youthInAgriculture and building strong #ecoProjects together! 🍌🌾 #FarmSmart #AgroInnovation #EcoYouthsNetwork #ClimateSmartFarming #UgandaFarming #growtogether

@botanyone

Nice study. And with prsctical relevance.
We really need #intercropping and multispecies cover-cropping get on the ground!

(And acknowledge that there are many wonderful examples of indigenous people managing their orchards way more advanced than anyone practicing #PrecisionAgriculture )
