Regenerative – The Word Defining Global Food and Ag in 2021 Dec 11, 2020 Regenerative could become the key word that sums up 2021 if the new COVID-19 vaccines are effective and their distribution can be scaled worldwide. But in any event, recent trends in the global food sector suggest regenerative agriculture will become more mainstream in 2021 as both consumers and companies realize we’ve got to find a way to tackle global emissions in the coming decade. Regenerative agriculture is a farming approach that has some similarities to organic agriculture, with the primary goals to build up soil health, sequester carbon, conserve water and improve air quality. Such farming methods also seek to decrease the consumption of fertilizer, fuel, and other resources used widely in modern agriculture. Not everyone agrees with the claims regenerative agriculture’s supporters have made about it could emerge as a leading way to take on climate change. Nevertheless, tactics that encompass this method of farming, including no-till planting and the inclusion of cover crops on farmland, can help make the food and agriculture sector become more responsible and sustainable.
