- Regenerative agriculture involves rotating livestock to graze farm pastures and naturally fertilize land without chemicals (eg pesticides, synthetic fertilizers), resulting in rich, healthy soil.
- This spring, packaged food giant General Mills announced that it would apply regenerative agriculture to 1 million acres by 2030, or 25% of its North American source ingredients.
- Regenerative agriculture is celebrated because it builds organic matter into soil and draws more carbon out of the atmosphere.
- However, some doubt its effectiveness and view it as a marketing ploy.
