What is sustainable agriculture?
Growing food shouldn’t cost the earth. That’s the core idea behind sustainable agriculture, a concept growing in popularity among farmers worldwide.
In simple terms, it is farming to meet the demands of a growing population, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Grounded in the three pillars of environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity, the idea balances each, equally.

How does regenerative agriculture support sustainable agriculture?
Regenerative growing techniques, such as no-or-low-till, diversifying crop rotation, livestock integration, and cover cropping, can play a huge role in this, as these practices reduce carbon emissions and improve the environment.
Alongside this, techniques that reduce carbon emissions on-farm can help growers to be more sustainable. Precision agriculture, digital farming, carbon sequestration, and boosting biodiversity are just a few ways growers can ensure productivity while working with the land, not against it.
