Regenerative agriculture offers a range of nature-based climate solutions that contribute significantly to both climate change mitigation and adaptation. Some of these solutions include:
- Carbon Sequestration: Increase soil organic matter and thus, enhances the soil’s ability to capture and store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
- Biodiversity Enhancement: Promote a diversity of plant and animal species, which is crucial for ecosystem resilience and the health of agricultural systems, helping them adapt to changing climate conditions
- Improved Water Management: Cover cropping, reduced tillage, and agroforestry improve soil structure and water infiltration, reducing runoff and erosion, which makes farms more resilient to droughts and floods
- Building Soil Health: Improve soil health through increasing organic matter, which enhances the soil’s capacity to support plant growth and withstand extreme weather and improve crop resilience
- GHG Emission Reduction: Minimizing the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides reduce emissions associated with their production and application. Practices like rotational grazing in livestock management also help lower methane emissions
