There is an international regenerative agriculture program for securing the health of the land and the wealth of those who live on it. It is time we all learn more about it and why it is important.
This program is aimed at supplying farms and organizations with scientific data to support transitioning to more holistic farming. It focuses on increasing soil health, encouraging biodiversity, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and sequestering CO2.
As this regenerative agriculture movement gains global momentum, more enterprises throughout the supply chain are striving to work in ways that are beneficial for the environment. This also includes maintaining profits. This is a hugely positive direction towards reversing climate change. And it will also boost worldwide economies.
Conservation and Rehabilitation
Regenerative agriculture is a new approach to food and farming systems. It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of farm soil. We have been given the opportunity to offer you superior beef raised using the principles of this new process. Check out this beef now.
Nutritional Benefit of Regenerative Agriculture
According to multiple scientific studies across the world, the nutritional quality of our food has fallen tremendously in the last 50-70 years. The nutrients affected are phosphorous, iron, calcium, protein, riboflavin, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). This means we are getting lower levels of nutrition from our food than was enjoyed by our grandparents. People now suffer from “hidden hunger,” getting enough calories but not enough nutrients for good health. The impact is greatest on young children and pregnant women. And it can include stunted growth, mental impairment, and lowered immune system function.
Higher Yields – Reduced Nutritional Value
Evidence shows that the higher yields being achieved in our fields are resulting in reductions in the nutrient value of the crop. Soil scientists are pointing to studies that may show the problem is not necessarily a lack of fertilizer but rather a disruption in normal biological processes. The studies show that crops grown in healthy, biologically active soils do not have lower nutrient levels. The minerals are present in the soil but are not available to the plants. They believe that the heavy tillage is disrupting the microbes killing the soil’s natural biology.
