What is regenerative agriculture – and why is it so important?

Regenerative agriculture is a sustainable way to produce food. It’s all about working with nature. Not against it. ... and it delivers.

It employs a simple set of principles – that provide us with real, measurable results. Regenerative farmers focus mostly on soil. That may sound dull - but healthy soil delivers a whole host of valuable benefits.

And importantly, helps us to tackle many of the most pressing environmental issues we face today.

Food production sits right at the heart of the climate crises

Does regenerative agriculture solve any problems?

The short answer is yes – but not all of them.

Importantly, Regenerative agriculture stores lots of carbon in the ground.

But that's not all... there's a whole host of other benefits too.

Find out how the system it works. And why.

And why it’s so much better than our present industrial agriculture.

Since 1970 the population of wild mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles has declined by an estimated average of 68 per cent

Biodiversity – much more than just a buzzword

Biodiversity is hugely important.

It’s essential for things like food, medicine and the environment.

But as farming intensifies biodiversity decreases.

The facts – and consequences – might astonish you...

Just a quarter of a teaspoon can contain up to one billion bacteria cells. All of them working for us

Why’s everyone talking about the soil?

Soil health is fundamental to a habitable world.

And it’s the planets ultimate digestive system.

But how does it work?

What does what?

And why is it called the “factory of life”?

Grasslands cover about one-quarter of the Earth's land area

Grassland... it's a story of soil, roots, carbon. And us

Just how important is its role – and what does it mean for us?

Grassland accounts for about a quarter of the worlds land surface – and most of the worlds farmland.

It also stores almost twice as much carbon as all living flora and the atmosphere combined.

How do we ensure that it keeps doing its job?

Each a year a cow emits greenhouse gas equivalent to diving a petrol powered Mini for between 12,000-14,500 miles

Methane – the elephant in the room. Or the mouse that roared?

One thing’s for sure... we don’t need more methane put into the atmosphere.

And cows produce methane.

But it’s not as simple as it sounds.

Read more, then make up your own mind. Some of the facts might surprise you.

Fire is a natural part of the grassland ecosystem

Why grassland needs animals – and the occasional fire

To stay healthy grassland needs to be disturbed.

How do grazing animals - and fires – help grassland to thrive?

How do the dynamics of grassland ensure they stay biodiverse?

And how does grazing stimulate plant growth and aid carbon storage?
