Regenerative agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming
systems.
It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving the water cycle, enhancing ecosystem services,
supporting
biosequestration, increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of farm soil.
Practices include recycling as much farm waste as possible and adding composted material from sources outside the
farm.
Regenerative agriculture on small farms and gardens is often based on
philosophies like permaculture,
agroecology, agroforestry, restoration ecology, keyline design, and holistic management.
As soil health improves, input requirements may decrease, and crop yields may increase as soils are more
resilient against extreme weather and harbour fewer pests and pathogens.
