So what is Regenerative Farming:

Regenerative farming, or agriculture, boosts ecosystem and soil health. In the UK, it’s becoming popular to fight climate change and enhance biodiversity. This method also makes food production more resilient. Key aspects include:

Soil Health

This focuses on better soil and increased organic matter. Methods like no-till farming and compost use are common.

Water Management

It aims for smart water use and better soil water absorption. This helps combat droughts and prevents erosion.

Biodiversity Enhancement

Diverse species, above and below ground, are encouraged. Crop variety and natural habitats like hedgerows are used.

Pest Management

It cuts chemical pesticide use by promoting natural predators and crop rotation.

Carbon Capture

Techniques like cover cropping lock away carbon, aiding climate efforts.
