A Glimpse into Regeneration
Regenerative Practices
Regenerative agriculture is very context-specific. These are the values, guidelines and practices that guide our crops here at Reelie.
Living roots from diverse cover crops draw-down carbon and foster life for all kind of soil micro-organisms
Plants are deeply connected through healthy soils and practices like tilling destroy these important communication pathways
These not only affect the food we eat, but infiltrate the life of our soils and water sources
Nutrients from organic material produced by plants (sometimes considered waste) is recycled into the ecosystem
By carefully pruning plants, we can optimize their ability to capture energy from the sun and draw-down carbon
Creating more resilience by imitating natural ecosystems, biodiversity increases productivity and fertility of the soil
Incorporating animals into farms creates natural balance, fertilization for the plants and increased diversity within the ecosystem
Regeneration is a continuum, therefor it is vital to track measurable progress by regular soil testing
Why Regenerative Farming Matters
It’s a return to how food was grown for generations — working in harmony with the land so it can continue to nourish us for generations to come.
