Carbon capturing: Thanks, regenerative agriculture!
Regenerative farmers (the types of farmers we work with) use a variety of practices - like cover cropping, crop rotation, and low or no-till farming to keep carbon (AKA the stuff that is warming our planet) in the soil (where it doesn’t warm the planet). Basically, the plant eats the carbon out of the air and puts it in the ground. That's carbon capturing!
Let's talk more about it.
Keeping healthy root systems active in the soil year round keeps a massive area of land functioning as a carbon sink year round: pulling carbon out of the air, where it plays a major role with climate change, and into the ground, where it makes healthier, happier food.
That's carbon capturing!
This is so different from how most modern grain farming is done - industrial farmers plant seeds, spray pesticides, and then harvest grains - ripping out all the roots and pushing all that climate-changing carbon right back into the air.
Better farming is hard work - but it makes healthier soil by encouraging biodiversity & complexity in the soil.
