Promote Regenerative Agriculture
Nearly two-thirds of the world’s poor rely on agriculture for their incomes. It remains the backbone of many developing economies, providing employment to a significant portion of the workforce and contributing substantially to gross domestic product. Regenerative agriculture is an approach to farming that focuses on restoring and enhancing ecosystem health, improving soil quality, and increasing biodiversity while producing food and other agricultural products.
Promoting regenerative agriculture practices can help increase productivity, enhance resilience to climate change, and boost smallholder farmers’ incomes. Crop rotation is an example of a regenerative practice. It involves alternating different crops in the same field to break pest cycles and balance nutrient use. By implementing these methods, farmers can create more sustainable and productive agricultural systems that benefit both the environment and crop yields.
