taastamispõllumajanduse

Taastamispõllumajandus, also known as regenerative agriculture, is a farming and grazing management system intended to reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity. It aims to create a system that is more productive, resilient, and environmentally sustainable. The core principles of taastamispõllumajandus focus on minimizing soil disturbance, keeping soil covered with living plants or mulch, increasing crop diversity, and integrating livestock.

These practices are believed to enhance soil health by improving its structure, water infiltration, and nutrient cycling. Healthier soils can sequester more carbon from the atmosphere, acting as a carbon sink and potentially mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. Taastamispõllumajandus also seeks to reduce reliance on synthetic inputs like fertilizers and pesticides, promoting a more natural and self-sustaining agricultural ecosystem. This approach often leads to improved water quality and increased biodiversity both above and below the ground. While still evolving, taastamispõllumajandus is gaining traction as a promising method to address environmental challenges within the agricultural sector.
