We at Regen Aquaculture believe that the answer to agriculture’s strain on the earth is, actually, agriculture. To solve the problems outside requires change from the inside, and who better primed for active change than those converting their farming practices to conservative techniques like aquaponics and aquaculture? Because aquaponics conserves an average of 90% of the water used in traditional soil agriculture, its existence is not intended to replace soil but rather alleviate the demand on soil and share the work load. Our society needs healthy soil just as our fish need water. And we’re beginning to realize that drastic change can occur from minor adjustments. “Importantly, by increasing the water infiltration and storage capacities of soil, healthy soil can reduce the need for irrigation, which is how regenerative growers can reduce their demand for water and become more water independent". So, it is possible for regenerative and recirculating agriculture to consume less water and increase growth.

How Regenerative Agriculture Can Mitigate Drought

FAQs

Q1: How does regenerative agriculture differ from conventional farming?

Regenerative agriculture focuses on enhancing soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience through practices that minimize soil disturbance and promote sustainable land management, in contrast to conventional farming's more intensive practices.

Q2: Can regenerative agriculture be applied to all types of crops?

Yes, regenerative agriculture principles are adaptable to various crops and farming systems, making it a versatile approach that can be implemented across different agricultural landscapes.

Q3: What role does regenerative agriculture play in addressing climate change?

Regenerative agriculture contributes to climate change mitigation by sequestering carbon in the soil, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and fostering climate-resilient farming systems.
