Regenerative agriculture

Regenerative agriculture consists of practices prioritizing the regeneration of organic soil matter and the restoration of biodiversity in degraded land. It is a responsible agricultural activity that, in addition to recovering degraded soil and producing highly nutritional food, promotes the interaction of multiple species of flora and fauna in the same space, ensuring a natural and sustainable balance.

The more diversity there is in a cultivated area, the more life there will be; the healthier the soil, the water, the plants, the animals, and the humans. When we return to nourishing ourselves with local and organic food from fertile soils, rich in nutrients, we will be able to understand the words of Dr. Linus Pauling: “Optimal nutrition will be the medicine of the future” because regenerative agriculture not only seeks to maintain the health of the soil but also our health.

In this sense, Mexico is experiencing a paradox: on the one hand, it is one of the most biologically diverse countries in the world. However, it is going through a dramatic food crisis in which Mexicans consume increasingly less diverse foods of deficient nutritional value.

Regenerative agriculture represents an enormous opportunity to increase soil fertility, reduce the exposure of bare soil, diversify cropping systems, improve the water cycle, and encourage communities to adopt sustainable and healthy practices for their environment. With a focus on sustainable and resilient practices, regenerative agriculture has the potential to provide genuine and lasting solutions to ensure the health of the soil, our communities, and our planet.
