Regen Practices for Carbon Negative Agriculture

Carbon sequestration and emission reductions from widespread adoption of regenerative practices can result in a GHG-negative Ag Industry.

A recent study published in Nature Food examined the potential for regenerative agriculture to transform the food system from a carbon source to a carbon sink. The findings are remarkable.

Key Practices:

• Adaptive multi-paddock grazing
• Cover cropping
• No-till/reduced tillage
• Integration of livestock with crop production
• Silvopasture and agroforestry

The Numbers:

When implemented at scale, these practices could sequester 3-8 tons of CO2 per acre per year. That's enough to offset not just agriculture's emissions, but a significant portion of other sectors as well.

What This Means for Farmers:

Regenerative practices aren't just good for the planet - they're good for the bottom line. Healthier soils mean:

• Reduced input costs
• Better water retention
• More resilient systems
• Premium markets for regeneratively-raised products
