The best crops for the regenerative agriculture approach vary depending on the region, soil type, and specific goals of the farmer. However, here are some crops commonly used in regenerative agriculture:
Plants like clover, rye, vetch, and legumes are used as cover crops between main crops
Perennials, such as certain varieties of grains (like perennial wheat and rice), fruits, nuts, and legumes, have extensive root systems that enhance soil structure, increase organic matter, and reduce soil erosion
Crops that thrive in no-till systems, such as various grains, legumes, and vegetables
Crops that are more resilient to drought conditions, such as millets, sorghum, or certain varieties of maize and beans
Crops like hemp or certain varieties of legumes contribute significantly to soil health by adding organic matter and improving nutrient levels
