Regenerative agriculture is defined as farming and grazing practices that, among other things, reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil, resulting in soil that can sequester CO2 from the atmosphere and improve the water cycle. Regenerative agriculture practices build soil health and fertility, increase water retention, increase biodiversity and ecosystem health, and increase soil carbon sequestration. At Natural Grocers, we strongly believe that our food choices can affect real change, and one of the most measurable ways to support the health of the planet is to support farmers and ranchers practicing regenerative land management.

REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE

There is nothing more important than our food choices when it comes to our own health and to the health of the planet. Climate change is a daunting challenge that is facing all of us and we can all make a difference by choosing food grown using regenerative agriculture. Organic produce, grass-fed and pasture-based animal products and biodynamic olive oil and wines are foods that not only support our overall health and wellbeing but have the potential, when done right, to help reverse climate change.
