Regenerative Organic Farming Practices These practices help build healthy soil that could help draw down more carbon from the atmosphere than conventional methods. To do this, farmers use a range of methods that have been around for millennia. Organic Organic farming means no synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, genetically modified organisms, antibiotics or growth hormones. Cover crops Farmers grow cover crops in addition to their cash crop to help increase soil organic matter, sequester carbon in the soil, and reduce erosion. Compost Farmers use waste from the farm and convert it into compost, which acts as a natural fertilizer and pesticide for soil. Crop rotation A systematic approach where crop varieties are rotated from one year to the next. Intercropping Planting multiple types of crops closely together can produce greater yields and improve soil health over time. Low- to No-Tilling Tilling is a common practice that involves digging, stirring, and overturning soil. Reducing the need for this practice can help soil retain more water, organic matter and potentially store more carbon. Related Stories We guarantee everything we make.
