Current payments available for ‘carbon farming’ approaches are unlikely to prove a sufficient incentive for farmers in the U.S. — but quantifying and rewarding the benefits beyond climate mitigation could help to overcome this.
That’s according to a report from the Center for Growth and...
How can measuring sustainability on farms help us to understand and value the produce and services that farmers deliver? In this new series, we explore how metrics can inform the transition to a more sustainable food and farming system, and we meet some of the people who are leading the way when...
Although many of us associate carbon offsetting schemes with planting trees, there is an increasing focus on restoring soil carbon. Improving the health of soils, particularly on agricultural land, enables them to be more productive, to host more lifeforms and to sequester more carbon, making...
Desertification, the process by which fertile land turns into arid desert, poses a significant threat to our planet's ecosystems and human well-being. However, there is a ray of hope in the form of regenerative agriculture—a holistic approach that not only helps combat desertification but also...
Hi everyone,
I am a scientist developing batteries that self-recharge from soil. At the moment I am trying to find a suitable use-case for the technology, and precision agriculture is on my radar. If you could spare 1 minute to fill out this survey, so that I can learn more about your views on...

Hi
I am setting up a collaborative project to develop a biological method of control for black grass. For this I will be setting up the 'Black Grass Biology Group' where farmers will work alongside our technical team to develop a biological control method ON FARM.
If this sounds of interest...
Regenerative soil practices could move forward by revisiting the past
Colorado State University’s Department of Soil and Crop Sciences released the following study, “Restoring particulate and mineral-associated organic carbon through regenerative agriculture.” The conclusions should not be...
Hello,
I am currently conducting research focused on the on-farm soil carbon accreditation and trading industry in the UK. This research is for the dissertation for my master's degree in Social Anthropology. I am particularly hoping to interview farmers actively involved in carbon trading...
When the average annual temperature is 35º C all year round, crop seeds can dry out and die in the baking soil before they germinate. Even established plants can struggle as their roots simmer in the unforgiving glare of the sun.
This is a daunting yet familiar reality for Lucival Portilho. He...
Key Takeaways From FAIRR’s Assessment

A transition to a regenerative system will lead to low yields and margins in the short term, but long-term regenerative agriculture will “improve” soil quality.
That’s according to land agents Savills, which has recently published a report on the...
In recent years, the importance of sustainable agricultural practices has gained significant attention. As conventional, intensive farming methods deplete soil nutrients, contribute to deforestation, and increase greenhouse gas emissions, the need for regenerative agriculture has become more...
I’ve seen it all , now the great “new” idea is to use animals to keep the scrub short in order to reduce wildfires …. You literally can’t make this stuff up….

This year’s Groundswell Festival will feature over 100 sessions and 200 speakers, organisers have announced.
The regenerative agriculture-focused event aims to answer some of the questions raised by industry relating to regenerative agriculture...
How can you spot future-fit farming? Look for the bees. Over the last ten years, we’ve been working with farmers and smallholders, finding ways both to protect biodiversity and to secure our supply chains. Here’s why.
When it comes to pollination, nothing beats the humble bumble bee...
In the battle of ideas over the future of food systems, three concepts, ‘agroecology’, ‘nature-based solutions’, and ‘regenerative agriculture’, are competing for attention. In this briefing note, IPES-Food unpacks the use of these three concepts in international food, climate and biodiversity...
