It’s well documented that monocropping decimates soil health, by implementing regenerative farming methods endless benefits are achieved. Nutrients are replenished via multispecies cover crops, huge amounts of carbon are recaptured in both the growth of above ground biomass and below ground root structures, no-till farming prevents stored carbon from being released back into the atmosphere, crop yields greatly benefit from nutrient dense soils and the need for chemical fertilizers is eradicated.
