My main claim is that regeneration work, together with resistance organising around ecosocialism (via unions, parties, media, communities), offers the most promising avenue towards desirable futures where no one is left behind. I will explain the opportunities and challenges of regenerative agriculture systems in this post as an introduction, and throughout the year in more detail.
The goal of regenerative agriculture is to bring life, resilience, and prosperity back to landscapes, communities, and ultimately entire ecosystems. It starts from a simple but profound understanding: soil health is the foundation of life and secures our capacity to heal both ecosystems and human bodies. Soil is not only a medium that provides nutrients to plants, microbes, and ultimately people; when healthy, it also acts as a sponge that retains water, cools the land, absorbs carbon, and buffers extreme weather events such as floods and droughts.
There are diverse types of regenerative agriculture and related programs for restoring the soil and other parts of the biosphere. Explore and see what's available in your locale. Here are some restoration ideas...
