The Importance of Rewilding
Agricultural lands have been subjected to intensive management practices, such as crop monoculture, intensive grazing, and use of pesticides and fertilizers. These practices have led to a decline in biodiversity and soil health, as well as decreased resilience to climate change. Rewilding agricultural lands is an emerging approach that seeks to restore degraded ecosystems, promote biodiversity, and enhance ecosystem services.

Soil health is critical to any farming system, but it is especially important in regenerative agriculture. Regenerative agriculture is a system of farming that prioritizes the health of the soil, the environment, and the farmer.

The goal of regenerative agriculture is to create a more sustainable and resilient agricultural system, and healthy soil is a key component of that system.
