Study shows Consumer 's demand for organic products is increasing, more farmers
cultivate organically, more land is certified organic, and 178 countries report organic farming activities."
" Dr. André Leu’s new book is essential reading for farmers, gardeners, and proponents of regenerative and organic food and farming."
As modern farming and ranching evolve away from mass consolidation and industrialization, a new strategy is rapidly emerging: regenerative agriculture.
These new systems being implemented across the globe require a shift in the mindset of the land manager and operator, away from being primarily reliant on external inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides, and toward dependence on knowledge, measurement and management. In this first-of-its-kind book, André Leu invites everyone to start moving a positive, regenerative direction where our actions support growing abundant life.
Unlike conventional agriculture, which harms the land, regenerative agriculture improves the land, using technologies that regenerate and revitalize the soil and the environment.
Regenerative agriculture produces high-quality, nutrient-dense food, productive farms, and healthy communities and economies.
It is dynamic and holistic, incorporating permaculture and organic farming practices, including conservation tillage, cover crops, crop rotation, composting, mobile animal shelters, and pasture cropping, to increase food production, farmers’ income, and especially topsoil.
Regenerative Agriculture can:
Feed the world
Recycle GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions
Reduce environmental degradation
Improve yields
Create drought-resistant soil
Revitalize local economies
Preserve traditional knowledge
Nurture biodiversity
Restore grasslands
