Agriculture is in crisis. Soil health is collapsing. Biodiversity faces the sixth mass extinction. Crop yeilds are plateauing. Against this crisis narrative swells a clarion call for Regenerative Agriculture. Regenerative Agriculture is being promoted strongly by civil society and NGOs as well as by many of the major multi-national food companies.
But what is Regenerative Agriculture and why is it gaining such prominence? Which problems does it solve and how?
In this seminar, Ken addresses these issues and opens a discussion as to whether Regenerative Agriculture represents a re-framing of what has the been considered to be two contrasting approaches to agricultural futures, namely agroecology and sustainable intensification, under the same banner.
