Profile

Regenerative Agriculture

 

The intensive agriculture model, which sees agricultural land as a blank canvas to intervene with fertilisers and pesticides from the agro-industry, has progressively diminished soil fertility to zero, increased water and air pollution, and, where practised, extinguished biodiversity.

To rectify this, agriculture needs to revert to its original purpose: producing healthy, nutritious food while simultaneously respecting biodiversity to the highest possible degree. While there are no readily available formulas to accomplish this, one potential approach is regenerative agriculture. This agrarian practice focuses on establishing biosystems that primarily serve to restore soil fertility and vitality, as well as mitigate water and air pollution. By prioritising solutions over profit-driven motives, regenerative agriculture can  can be a central part of the solution.
