What is Regenerative?

In contrast to conventional agriculture, regenerative agriculture rebuilds and replenishes the land. The main principles of regenerative agriculture are:

  • Maintains the soil structure and health.

  • Protects soil from heat and drought.

  • Prevents soil, air, and water pollution.

  • Feeds and locks nutrients in the soil.

  • Mimics nature and rebuilds habitat.

  • Imitates forest and grassland ecosystems.

 

Anchored in traditional and indigenous food systems, these practices protect the environment for current and future generations.

The gifts in this guide support regenerative agricultural production on small family-owned farms in the Upper Midwest.
