Create a
Regenerative Garden at Home by Maureen Frost
Upgrade your home garden so that it not only grows the best quality plants and produce but also benefits the planet. Regenerative Agriculture is‌ A way of farming and grazing that cultivates healthy soil by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring soil biodiversity. This allows you to grow nutrient-rich food while simultaneously drawing down carbon from the atmosphere to help in the fight against climate change.
It matters because‌ According to The Carbon Underground, the industrial farming practices of deep tilling, monocropping, and chemical fertilizers and pesticides have changed the soil so that it can no longer effectively absorb carbon. These methods also deplete crops of their nutritional value. Utilizing regenerative practices that can capture carbon in the soil will help to rebalance the carbon in the atmosphere and cool our planet and oceans in the process. Furthermore, focusing on the health and vitality of your soil will allow the food it grows to become as nutrient-dense as possible.
