Circular and Regenerative Agriculture
Introduction Circular and regenerative agriculture is a farming system that applies nature-friendly practices to create a climate change resilient, self-sustaining ecosystem for food production. It utilizes farming practices that reduce soil disturbance, like minimal or no tillage and cover cropping. It also minimizes the use of chemical inputs, and integrates crop rotation, intercropping, agroforestry, livestock…
