Frequently Asked Questions
What do you mean by "regenerative farming?
Regenerative farming refers to a set of agricultural practices aimed at rehabilitating and enhancing the entire ecosystem of the farm. It focuses on restoring soil health through methods such as no-till or reduced tillage, composting, cover cropping, and rotational grazing. These practices increase soil biodiversity, improve water retention, and sequester carbon, thus contributing to the overall health of the planet. Unlike conventional farming, which often depletes soil nutrients and relies heavily on chemical inputs, regenerative farming seeks to create a self-sustaining system that benefits the environment.
