The future of Agriculture The adverse effect of climate change, occasioned by global warming is upon us all. The onus is on us all to make our collective habitation a better place, and avert the impending doom caused by thousands of years of abuse of mother earth. Despite the importance of agriculture to feed the ever-growing population of the world, the way and manner we have cultivated crops and kept livestock over the years have contributed to dreadful global warming. Excessive tillage of the soil, use of heavy farm machinery, cutting down of trees, and overgrazing, to mention a few are contributing billion of tons of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gases are responsible for greenhouse warming. While it is practically impossible to do away with farming, it is incumbent on us to adopt a better approach to farming. This is where regenerative agriculture comes in. This system of agricultural practice strikes a balance among the forces of nature, builds soil health, improves crop and livestock yield and resilience, and optimally helps to resolve the issue of climate change. This book details the meaning of regenerative agriculture and its benefits, the parallel between organic and regenerative agriculture, regenerative agriculture practices, and hints at starting small farms as well as regenerative and the future.
