What is regenerative agriculture?
Decrease reliance on costly inputs
A healthy soil microbiome can manage its own nutrient demands, and pests become managed by the rejuvenatved ecosystem.
Reverse soil exhaustion
Topsoil erosion is directly linked with overstressed carbon, nitrogen, and water cycles. Managing organic matter correctly can build and preserve topsoil, retain water, and carbon which benefits the nutrient cycle.
Nutrient content is key
Not only does soil health affect nutrition content, it improves the ability to store and transport product
The future must recognize the past
In modern agroecology we recognize that indigenous peoples have regionally adapted practices refined over thousands of years, and for important reasons. We seek to learn and incorporate that wisdom back into mainstream practice.

Public discussion forum
Soil Nerd is hosting a public access discussion forum for Regenerative Agriculture using the open-source software Mattermost. We are hosting this platform for free to encourage all those interested in the subject to join and be a part of the discussion.
Since there is no currently accepted definition of regen-ag, why don't we talk about it and learn and teach in turn based on all our unique experiences and requirements.
