It’s been proven that crops produced through the employment of low/no-till methods, cover crops, crop rotation, synthetic fertilizer minimisation and erosion control not only reduce GHGs but can actually sequester carbon in the soil. Soil is at the bottom of the food chain, yet its management has, by far, the largest effect on reducing GHGs from agricultural production. Practices include improving soil health and fertility using less water, energy and fertiliser maximising plant or crop biodiversity and integrating livestock operations. In a nutshell, regenerative agriculture (RA) is an outcome-based food production system that nurtures and restores soil health protects the climate, water resources and biodiversity and enhances a farm’s productivity and profitability. Sourcing regeneratively grown ingredients on a large scale can make an incredible difference when it comes to combating climate change.
