Regenerative Practices

  • Minimize soil disturbance
    • No-till (direct seeding, zero-tillage) 
      The soil is not worked at any point throughout the season. residue from the previous crop is left on the soil surface, and its root system is left intact. the following crop is seeded directly into the soil without tillage.
  • Keep the soil covered and maintain living roots year-round
    • Cover crops 
      Plants grown alongside, preceding, or following cash crops with the purpose of increasing soil fertility, reducing soil erosion, and suppressing weeds.
    • Organic mulch 
      Organic mulch involves covering the soil surface with a protective barrier to increase soil health, reduce soil erosion, and suppress weeds. the mulch can be composed of various organic materials such as straw, leaves, or compost.
    • Intercropping 
      Simultaneously growing two or more crops adjacent to one another, on the same piece of land and within the same growing season. crops are paired based on their differing, yet complementary, space and resource requirements.
  • Protect and enhance biodiversity
    • Companion cropping 
      Simultaneously growing two or more crops together in the same field so they complement one another by improving nutrient cycling, suppressing pests and weeds, and enhancing biodiversity.
  • Maintain living roots year-round (agroforestry and perennials)
    • Silvopasture 
      The planned and managed integration of livestock, trees, and forage in a farm system.
    • Tree crops 
      Tree crops
    • Perennial crops (grasslands) 
      Crops that regrow each year in a specific climate without needing to be reseeded.
  • Integrate animals on the lands and ensure their welfare
    • Integrated crop and livestock 
      A farm system that combines or alternates between crops and livestock use. crops and livestock may be used in different areas at the same time, or during different times in the same area (i.e., integrated spatially or temporally)
  • Optimize input use
    • Compost 
      Organic matter that has been recycled through a composting process into a form that can be used as a soil amendment.\r\ncompost is the stable, nutrient-rich product of decomposed organic matter—such as plant residues, manure, or food scraps—that has been biologically processed under controlled aerobic conditions.
    • Compost tea 
      A water-based compost that undergoes a fermentation process (with or without oxygen).
