🌱 What is the regenerative farming method?
Regenerative agriculture is a specific sub-item under the organic farming law. Its operation is similar to general organic agriculture. Chemical fertilisers and pesticides are not allowed, but special attention is paid to the health of the soil or the recovery of unhealthy soil. Fertilisation, and soil carbon sequestration.
Regenerative agriculture emphasises maintaining high levels of soil organic matter, minimising ploughing, increasing biodiversity, crop rotation, cover crops, green manure, compost, soil covering, etc. The current organic farming method, especially focusing on commercial producers, may not fully implement the aforementioned points.
The purpose of regenerative agriculture is to sequester carbon in the soil and above-ground biomass to reverse the global accumulation of atmospheric carbon, while at the same time increasing production, increasing resilience to unstable climates, and improving the health and vitality of rural communities.
Regenerative Farming Law includes 4 principles:
1. Continuously improve the entire agricultural ecosystem, including soil, water and biodiversity;
2. Set specific operations and overall decisions for specific environments to show the elements of individual farms;
3. Ensure and develop a fair and interactive relationship among all stakeholders;
4. Individuals, farms and communities must continue to grow and evolve in order to realize their inherent potential.
From these 4 principles, especially the first principle, a variety of operation methods are derived. Can continuously improve the entire agricultural ecosystem, such as organic annual cultivation, perennial crops, no-tillage farming, aquaculture, holistic management grazing, integrated animal production, pasture cultivation, forestry and animal husbandry production, agriculture and forestry production, bio-carbon, composting Liquid, compost, etc., will need to integrate various operations in accordance with other principles in the future.
Regenerative agriculture hopes to continue to improve, hoping to change the trend of climate change, so that the earth can be regenerated.
