Basic Knowledge in Agriculture 107
Regenerative agriculture is a viable approach of land management that focuses on restoration of the soil health, increasing biodiversity, and improvement of the water cycle.
Unlike the conventional industrial farming, which often depends on heavy inputs of the chemicals and high-intensity soil manipulation that causes the degradation of the land, the aim of the regenerative practices in agriculture is to work in the natural ecosystems to create a self-supporting and productive environment.
At the centre of this philosophy is the concept of the vitality of the soil. The healthy soil is a habitat of bacterias , fungi and organic matter that is like a huge carbon pool.
The priority of the health soil is very important; regenerative agriculture is helpful to mitigate the changes in the climate by extracting the carbon dioxide from the environment and storing it in the ground.
The farmers in regenerative agriculture use low-till methods to keep the structure of the soil original, protection of the microbial life, and prevention of the soil erosion.
To keep the soil covered is a very important rule. This is done through cover cropping, where the plants are grown during the off-season. They act as a living skin for the ecosystem.
The importance of regenerative agriculture depends on its capability to transform the farming from an environmental degradation source into a useful tool for planetary restoration.
The traditional industrial practices of the agriculture depletes the earth but the regenerative agricultural practices are helpful to repair the ecosystems actively.
It is very important to prioritise the health of the soil; regenerative agriculture is helpful to mitigate the changes in the climate by extracting the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in the ground. It can be achieved through the different practices.
One of the most important functions is the sequestration of carbon. The regenerative systems turn the agricultural land into a massive carbon sink when prioritised the health of soi and minimisation of tillage.
In this process the carbon dioxide captured from the environment and it is stored within the organic matter of the soil and making it a vital strategy for alleviating the effects of changes in climate.
