Description
Regenerative agriculture employs practices such as composting, cover cropping, and rotational grazing to enhance soil health and sequester carbon.
Technical
Compost piles reach 55–65 °C for 3–4 weeks, driving thermophilic microbial activity that degrades pathogens and weed seeds. Leguminous cover crops fix atmospheric N₂ via Rhizobium symbiosis, converting it to ammonium and nitrate that enrich soil organic matter. Deep-rooted perennials reduce bulk density and improve infiltration, fostering a more aerobic microbial environment.
