Soil to the Rescue: Regenerative Agriculture to Combat Climate Change

As climate change threatens global food production, researchers and environmental advocates are turning to regenerative agriculture as a solution. By improving soil health, crops can become more resilient to drought and extreme weather. Governments are being urged to offer financial incentives to farmers who adopt regenerative practices, which include crop rotation, cover cropping, and boosting the soil microbiome.

Forecast for 6 months: Governments will announce plans to provide financial incentives to farmers who adopt regenerative agriculture practices, with a focus on crop rotation and cover cropping.
Forecast for 1 year: The US Farm Bill will include measures to reduce farmers’ federal crop insurance premiums for those who adopt regenerative agriculture practices, leading to a significant increase in the adoption rate.
Forecast for 5 years: Regenerative agriculture will become a mainstream practice, with over 50% of global farmland adopting regenerative methods, leading to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and improved soil health.
Forecast for 10 years: Regenerative agriculture will be widely recognized as a key solution to climate change, with governments and corporations investing heavily in research and development to improve the practice and scale it up globally.
