Corn Belt Farmland Has Lost a Third of Its Carbon-rich Soil
UMass Amherst researchers used remote sensing to quantify the previously underestimated erosion.

Bill Gates y el neo-feudalismo: una mirada más profunda al Bill agricultor
Sigilosamente, Bill Gates se ha convertido en el dueño de tierra agrícola más grande de los Estados Unidos. Para un hombre obsesionado con el control monopólico, la oportunidad de también dominar la producción de alimentos debe ser irresistible.
No-till Practices in Vulnerable Areas Significantly Reduce Soil Erosion
While soil erosion is a naturally occurring process, agricultural activities such as conventional tilling exacerbate it. Farmers implementing no-till practices can significantly reduce soil erosion rates, a new University of Illinois study shows.
Regen Farming Tools Go Beyond Just Keeping Carbon
All the focus on carbon dioxide reduction may push aside any discussion of the multiple other benefits the soil health/regenerative ag practices can generate both for the environment and for the bottom lines of farmers and ranchers. Clay Pope from To-Till Farmer discusses the many benefits for the climate of regenerative agriculture practices.
How Regenerative Ag and Strip Grazing Improves Soil Health
Ted Krauskopf is a farmer near Highland, Illinois, who follows the three basic concepts for soil health from Ray Archuleta through regenerative grazing: the soil is alive, everything is connected and the goal is to emulate nature.
Humedales para alcanzar la neutralidad climática en 2050
Un equipo de la Universitat de València lidera una investigación en el proyecto LIFE Wetlands4Climate para poner en valor el papel de los humedales como sumideros de carbono y reductores de las cantidades de gases de efecto invernadero en la atmósfera.
Roadmap to Regeneration in the United States, 2020–2030
This is the last chapter of the book, “Grassroots Rising: A Call to Action on Food, Farming, Climate and a Green New Deal,” by Ronnie Cummins, where he explains how the US can achieve net zero emissions.
Humedales, solución idónea para mitigar el cambio climático
El valor de los humedales radica en que albergan una enorme diversidad biológica al ser el hábitat de plantas, invertebrados, peces, anfibios y aves; además de que son fundamentales para almacenar agua, recargar los mantos acuíferos, regular el clima y las inundaciones, así como para producir alimentos.
Collaboration is Key to Scaling Regenerative Agriculture
While regenerative agriculture can (and should) look different for every farm, locality and crop, it has a consistent principle of circularity: reducing losses where possible and restoring them to the soil, be it nutrients, water or carbon. Part of this circular food economy often includes producing and supplying food regionally.
Qué es la agricultura regenerativa y cuáles son sus ventajas
La agricultura regenerativa representa una forma de producir alimentos que encaja de forma armoniosa y positiva en el equilibrio natural, sin explotar la naturaleza, trabajando para recuperar la fertilidad de la tierra.
