Cart is empty REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE
Here’s the problem; since the early 1900’s humans have been engaging in farming practices that aren’t exactly nice to our farm lands. We’ve tilled the land, planted the same crop on the same land year after year and sprayed countless tonnes of chemical fertilizer and pesticides to keep everything alive. UGH.
These practices have caused our soils to degrade significantly resulting in BIG problems like:
- Loss of productivity on the land
- Production of less nutritious food
- Pollution of nearby waterways
- Release of CO2 in the atmosphere
IN FACT, 10 TO 20% OF THE CO2 HUMANS HAVE RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE SINCE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION HAS BEEN FROM OUR SOILS. WHAAAAAT?!
Regenerative Agriculture not only STOPS, but reverses this cycle of soil degradation.
HOW? By:
- No or low tilling
- Planting cover crops and rotating crops
- Applying compost and animal manure
- Properly grazing animals.
WHICH:
- Captures and stores CO2 so in the end can reverse global warming!!!
- Improves soil for better crop yields and water retention
- Creates new soil, plant, insect and microbial diversity
- Makes the land more resilient to extreme weather and increases its ability to sequester carbon dioxide
