Regenerative Agriculture Will Restore Ecosystems
Due to modern farming practices and human caused climate change, we have degraded a majority of the world’s soils. Numerous places around the world once fertile, are now desertified, including the Saharan Desert, the Fertile Crescent and in modern times, parts of the Great Plains, the Midwest and even the central valley of California.
In this week’s show, Allen Williams of Understanding Ag and the Soil Health Academy discusses the importance of abiding by healthy, regenerative soil principles in agriculture. He has worked for years to deepen our current ecological understanding and advance soil care practices in line with biological processes to ensure a plentiful food supply and healthy ecosystems amid a changing climate. These efforts support the transition of conventional, industrial farms to regenerative agriculture and ensure a sustainable legacy of farming for future generations.
