Eric Toensmeier teaches: Regenerative Agriculture
Session Overview
Join Eric Toensmeier, a world-renowned pioneer in permaculture and regenerative agricultural practices, in a comprehensive session exploring the transformative power of agriculture that heals the planet. This Deep Dive illuminates how regenerative agriculture enriches the soil, fosters biodiversity, and combats climate change, all while producing abundant, healthy food. Through a blend of scientific insight and real-world examples, participants will discover how these innovative practices can turn our food systems from major carbon emitters into crucial carbon sinks, highlighting the role of agriculture in restoring our planet's ecological balance.
Learning Goals
Understanding Regenerative Agriculture: Define regenerative agriculture and differentiate it from other farming practices, identifying its unique benefits and challenges.
Soil Health and Carbon Sequestration: Examine the mechanisms by which regenerative agriculture improves soil health and sequesters carbon, mitigating climate change.
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Resilience: Discuss the importance of biodiversity in agricultural systems and how it contributes to ecosystem resilience and productivity.
Sustainable Food Production: Explore strategies for maintaining food security and high-quality yields through sustainable cultivation methods.
Implementing Regenerative Practices: Consider practical steps for farmers, policymakers, and consumers to promote and adopt regenerative agriculture on various scales.
