regenerative soil farming for thriving economy

workshop joining instructions

urban farmers regenerative farming workshop programmeS

The key to regenerative agriculture is that it not only “does no harm” to the land but actually learn to improve it consistently with time, using methods that regenerate and revitalize the soil and the environment.

Regenerative agriculture is dynamic and holistic, incorporating permaculture and organic farming practices, including conservation tillage, cover crops, crop rotation, composting, mobile animal shelters and pasture cropping, to increase soil fertility and therefore increase food production, farmers’ income and especially, topsoil.

Importantly, learn ways nature, the soil, micro-organisms, insects, water, sun, and the constellation planets  works together naturally in synergy to improve each others success in the eco-system.  Learn also to draw lessons you can use in your team.
