Learn how regenerative agriculture can help build resilience against climate challenges.

The Importance of Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agriculture focuses on restoring the natural systems that sustain farming. Healthy soils rich in organic matter act as sponges, absorbing rainfall, storing moisture, and supplying nutrients to crops. Techniques such as composting, mulching, using crop residues, and planting cover crops can help rebuild soil health. Additionally, promoting biodiversity through intercropping, agroforestry, and cultivating climate-resilient crops like millets and pulses can reduce vulnerability to droughts, heatwaves, and pest outbreaks.
