Soil fertility, like justice, is a dynamic condition that enables life to thrive over time. Maintaining both requires a diverse web of entities to continually recalibrate how they behave in step with shifting circumstances and led by those most impacted by those changes.

Regenerative grazing can store more carbon in soils in the form of roots and other plant tissues. But how much can it really help the fight against climate change?

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.

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.
