Healthy soil means a healthy planet. Our agricultural soils are a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. Soil stores significant amounts of carbon, but much has been lost through unsustainable practices. Regenerative agriculture can help put this carbon back where it belongs. At the same time, regenerative practices can help reduce the use of synthetic inputs, improve the resilience of farms to natural disasters, and create habitat for native wildlife.
