Introduction
Regenerative agriculture is a transformational form that restores and enhances ecosystem health while maintaining food production. According to proponents, regenerative agriculture does not challenge the climate, planetary health, and food security. In place of conventional farming methods that degrade soil health or biodiversity among others, regenerative practices rebuild ecological systems, enhance fertilization of the soil, and provide resilience against climate change.[1]
The Ministry of Climate Change says that three-fourths of the land in Pakistan is degraded. Droughts and floods, deforestation, overgrazing of pastures, monoculture farming, and overusing chemical fertilizers and pesticides also contribute greatly to land degradation.[2] According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Pakistan, these challenges should be urgently addressed using regenerative farming practices.[3]
