Regenerative agriculture has emerged as an innovative approach to food production, offering the potential to achieve reduced or even positive environmental and social outcomes compared to the soil degradation and greenhouse gas emissions of conv[...]
Article
Regenerative Organic Agriculture (ROAg) can have several beneficial effects on soil health and the delivery of important soil ecosystem services. Yet, the net effect of multiple ROAg practices (i.e. minimum soil disturbance, crop rotation, cover[...]
Article
CONTEXT In Europe, the ever-increasing disconnection between crop and livestock production generates major environmental externalities. Opposing this trend, a few pioneering farmers have reintegrated (i.e. intentionally organized the return of) [...]
