Regenerative agriculture is a management philosophy that seeks to improve soil health. At its core, regenerative agriculture is the process of restoring degraded soils using practices (e.g., adaptive grazing, no-till planting, no or limited use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizer, etc.)

Regenerative agriculture can help: 

• Improve soil health: Regenerative agriculture aims to reverse degradation and make soil healthier than it currently is. 
• Increase biodiversity: Regenerative agriculture supports biodiversity and increases the diversity of organic residues returned to the soil. 
• Improve the water cycle: Healthy soil can store and infiltrate more water, which can help prevent flooding. 
• Increase resilience to climate change: Healthy soil can help combat climate change by storing carbon. 
• Support biosequestration: Regenerative agriculture can help support biosequestration. 

Whether you're a land steward eager to elevate your management or a concerned citizen wanting to support regenerative grazing in your daily life, there's a home for you at Savory.

SB675 creates a pipeline within the state of California to provide funding to targeted and prescribed grazing using ruminats. Find a copy of the bill here.

Yes absolutely! 

Depends on size of land, how many ruminants, and the goals for the land (holistic context).
