Regenerative agriculture and eco-schemes

In today's world, managing farms is not solely about producing abundant crops. It also involves caring for our planet, protecting the environment, and using resources sustainably. This chapter explores how farmers can become stewards of the earth and promote sustainable practices while achieving greater profits. Regenerative agriculture is an approach that aims not only to produce food but also to repair the soil. We will examine methods that restore soil health, retain water, prevent erosion, and promote biodiversity. This approach is implemented through eco-schemes, programs, and initiatives within the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy that support environmentally friendly practices and reward farmers for their efforts.
