Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees. Get on Ecosia and be climate active every day: https://www.ecosia.org/ • In this short documentary on regenerative agriculture, we go through the basic arguments of how regenerative agriculture curbs climate change. • Regenerative agriculture has no rules. Instead, there are general principles and practices of regenerative agriculture, all of which aim to disturb the soil as little as possible and keep it covered at all times. Combined with reforestation, regenerative agriculture could even re-capture most of the CO2 emissions out of the air again. That is why at Ecosia we have launched a competition fund for farmers in Europe to support them in their switch to regenerative practices. • From agroforestry, silvopasture, permaculture or intercropping - the practices of regenerative agriculture are varied and which ones or which set of those you apply will depend on the climate, the quality of your soil and trial and errors on any particular farm. • For more details on Ecosia’s European regenerative agriculture fund, please go here: https://www.ecosia-regenerative-agric... • Thank you to Benedikt Bösel (Gut Bösel), Christina Chemnitz (Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung e.V.) and Paul Wöbkenberg (Ecosia) for their insights and time. • A big thank you to Ackerpulco (IG: @ackerpulco_farm), Emanuel Finckenstein (IG: @__finck__) and Benedikt Bösel (IG: @benediktboesel) for offering us their images. • ____ • Our main sources: • Project Drawdown • https://www.drawdown.org/solutions/re... • AFN, Agriculture Funder News: https://agfundernews.com/regenerative... • The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019... • One Earth: • https://www.oneearth.org/regenerative... • Metabolic: • https://www.metabolic.nl/publication/... • Farming First: • https://farmingfirst.org/2019/07/ineq... • Carbon Brief: • https://www.carbonbrief.org/in-depth-... • We also based some of our research on several articles by the UN FAO agency, World Bank and the World Resource Institute.
