Regenerative agriculture describes farming practices that create a cycle of caring for the soil through responsible grazing and land management. It’s a general term that encompasses a range of practices from composting to pasture cropping. The primary goal of regenerative agriculture is to enhance and retain the biodiversity in soil that has been continuously stripped for generations.
Regenerative agriculture operates in multiple ways to produce a soil health benefit. A systems approach that relies on the adherence to principles rather than certifications and prescriptions guides regenerative agriculture implementation.
The Government is investing in farm sustainability, this time backing two new research projects to investigate the impacts of regenerative farming practices.
“We’re contributing $2.8 million to a $3.85 million five-year project with co-investment by Synlait Milk and Danone that aims to understand how to measure and manage soil health to boost environmental and economic performance on New Zealand farms,” Agriculture Minister Damien O’Connor announced on Sunday.
La agricultura regenerativa está siendo aclamada como una alternativa para la producción de alimentos con menor impacto ambiental por los responsables políticos, los agricultores y las empresas alimentarias.
Returning farmland to its natural, unfarmed status doesn’t makes sense says Francesca Cotrufo, a soil specialist with the Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory at Colorado State University. The world needs to be fed. However, she added, farming must be done in a way that collects more carbon than it emits.

Regenerative farming is the current zeitgeist in the fight for sustainable farming practices. It provides both a connection with the deep history of land management and a template for sustainable food production for the future. California meat distributor Cream Co. Meats is setting a new standard for the meat that lands on our tables, including California’s first ever regenerative farm-raised turkeys.
