Agriculture sits at the nexus of some of the world’s most pressing challenges: climate change, food security and nutrition, water and soil quality, biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods.
Regenerative approaches to agriculture have become even more relevant at a time when COVID-19 is disrupting food supply chains and exposing the fragility of current systems.
