Abstract

Basic principles and practices on which conventional and integrated agricultural production is based, such as intensive tillage, monoculture, use of mineral fertilizers, irrigation, plant protection with chemical agents, manipulation of plant and animal genomes and 'industrial' animal production are among the main polluters of the biosphere and greenhouse gas producers. These practices are unsustainable and harmful over prolonged period of time. Regenerative agriculture deals with matters of the sequestration of atmospheric carbon into soil and biomass, increasing the biodiversity of production of agro-ecosystems, increasing and maintaining soil fertility and establishing, maintaining and managing cycles of nutrients, water and soil organic matter. Regenerative agriculture is an upgrade of organic agriculture and it is based on scientific and applied research.
