Regenerative
Every year, the social and environmental costs of US agriculture is $85 billion. The decades-long drive for efficiency has optimised food output, instead of food quality, soil health, carbon absorption, animal welfare, biodiversity protection, and smallholder farmer livelihoods. Regenerative agriculture is the way to reverse these impacts, turning societal and environmental costs into benefits. But, as a recent report by Forum for the Future notes, scaling the solution faces multiple barriers, such as lack of market incentives, government support and customer demand. Given the size of the prize (and the cost of failure), we must persevere.
