Regenerative agriculture needs public-private support

Tuesday, August 4, 2020

Significance

Its main objective is to keep the soil fertile through biological methods that return micronutrients to the land, while reducing water and air pollution. The resulting decarbonisation of land in turn contributes to the restoration of the ozone layer.

Impacts

  • Environmentally conscious food consumption is rising, but cost is the biggest single deterrent.
  • Acquisition of smaller organic businesses by large firms risks degrading their links to the local economy and ecology.
  • Funding for research and innovation in this sector is set to increase.
