"Regenerative agriculture is both a process and an outcome. Farmers adopt practices such as growing cover crops and instituting mixed farming systems like agroforestry or integrated crop and livestock production. These evidence-based approaches rebuild soil health, protect water resources, restore biodiversity, and strengthen communities." Integrated landscape management (ILM) offers an inclusive, participatory pathway to regeneration and all that it entails. This article, co-authored by 1000L co-chair Sara Scherr and Climate-KIC's Kirsten Dunlop, dives into the power of landscape collaboration as a force for scaling regenerative agriculture. https://lnkd.in/erKEZFsr

Regenerative agriculture is transforming how we grow food, restore ecosystems, and fight climate change. One example? Adopting integrated landscape management 🌱🌳 There is a wealth of evidence that regenerative practices - such as growing cover crops, agroforestry, or integrating crop and livestock production on farms - can rebuild soil health, protect water resources, restore biodiversity and strengthen communities. How are we doing this? EIT Climate-KIC is partnering with farmers, communities, businesses, and governments through initiatives such as 1000 Landscapes For 1 Billion People, helping define a long-term transformation strategy and adaptive action plans from individual farms to entire regions.

Exciting developments in regenerative agriculture! Two new reports, 'Bridging the Regenerative Agriculture Financing Gap' and 'Surf to Turf: Linking Regenerative Agriculture and Restorative Aquaculture in Coastal Foodscapes,' are shedding light on the immense potential of regenerative practices. These reports delve into how regenerative farming can combat climate change, enhance food system resilience, and promote worker and community wellbeing. They also address financing challenges and highlight opportunities for transformative changes in our food systems. Curious to learn more?

Regenerative agriculture isn't just a buzzword—it's a transformative approach that holds the key to a sustainable future for food production. 🚜💚 By focusing on soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem restoration, regenerative agriculture goes beyond sustainable farming practices to actively regenerate and revitalize the land. The benefits are profound: improved soil fertility, increased water retention, enhanced carbon sequestration, and resilience to climate change. 🌾 Ready to embrace the regenerative revolution?

This #EarthDay, we share on our efforts on empowering farmers with the #knowledge and #tools to practice good agronomic practices and adopt regenerative agriculture. By focusing on soil health, biodiversity, and sustainable farming techniques, we are not only transforming agricultural landscapes but also making an impact on our planet. Through #training, access to #resources, and ongoing #advisory support, we equip farmers, fostering resilience in our ecosystems, and contributing to the fight against climate change. How does this benefits our planet? - Combats climate change: Healthy soils store more carbon, mitigating the effects of greenhouse gases. - Reduced soil erosion: Soil erosion, affects fertility, reduces water retention and causes uneven crop growth. - Boosts biodiversity: Diverse cropping systems and cover crops create thriving habitats for beneficial insects and pollinators. - Enhances food security: These practices lead to increased yields and more resilient crops. #EarthDay #SustainableFarming #ACREAfrica #ACREat10 #ADecadeofBuildingFarmerResilience

🌱 Embracing Regenerative Agriculture for a Sustainable Future 🌱 In today's rapidly changing world, it's crucial to adopt farming practices that not only enhance productivity but also restore and sustain the health of our ecosystems. #Regenerative agriculture 🌿 is the key to this balance, offering a holistic approach to farming that focuses on soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. By integrating practices such as crop rotation, cover cropping, reduced tillage, and agroforestry, regenerative agriculture helps: 🌾 Restore soil fertility 🌾Enhance water retention 🌾 Increase biodiversity 🌾 Mitigate climate change by sequestering carbon #RegenerativeAgriculture #Sustainability #SoilHealth #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #SustainableFarming #GreenFuture
