The care and creativity regenerative growers showcase yield benefits on and off the land. They grow food and fiber, draw down carbon, conserve water, replenish waterways, grow healthier foods, reduce their use of synthetic inputs, employ people within their communities, and ensure the long-term vitality of the land.
Ecological Benefits
- Improvements in soil health and fertility—the foundation of healthy water, nutrients, and carbon cycling—as evidenced by healthier crops, increased yields, improved soil test results, and vibrant microbial communities.
- Biodiversity on land, in the air, and in the water (following improved biodiversity in the soil), including richer plant, bird, and insect populations
- Reduced soil erosion
- Reductions in water pollution—including contributions to harmful algal blooms—due to fewer chemical inputs
- Improvements to water-holding capacity in the soil
- Personal and Regional Economic Benefits
- Cost savings from reduced use of antibiotics and chemical fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides
- Greater financial security from diversified revenue streams
- The promotion of rural economic development with local employment and healthier food choices
