Regenerative agriculture restores soil health through practices like cover cropping and reduced tillage. In Punjab, India, crop rotations with maize and legumes enhance soil nutrients and reduce groundwater stress.
Rotating crops such as legumes, grains, and alfalfa improves soil structure and fertility. This practice can increase yields by up to 29% compared to monocultures.
IPM combines biological, mechanical, and minimal chemical methods for pest control. For example, Jordan Valley farmers use pheromone traps and natural predators to manage fruit fly infestations in date palms.
Utilizing organic fertilizers, composting, and green manure builds soil health naturally. These practices boost microbial activity, enhance nutrient availability, and reduce reliance on synthetic inputs.
