The benefits of regenerative agriculture are basically endless, as it reduces waste, conserves CO2 emissions, and — as previously mentioned, it increases soil fertility, organically. According to Regenerational International, one particularly effective practice from regenerative agriculture is no-till or medium tillage. Basically, instead of plowing or using heavy machinery, leaving the soil alone lets it create more organic matter and sequester more CO2 than it would with human disturbance.
Focusing on increasing soil fertility naturally, using cover crops, crop rotation, compost, and animal manures also organically revitalizes the soil and gives it nutrients, without harmful or synthetic fertilizers. Also, if the farm works with any types of livestock, managing their grazing practices, ensuring they have nutritious feed, and using their manure for soil fertility increase carbon deposits naturally, and reduces waste exponentially.
