“Regenerative agriculture is widely seen as a promising pathway toward more sustainable farming, but we still lack sufficient insight into the economic and environmental impacts of scaling it up,”
Regenerative agriculture can deliver both economic and environmental benefits for European farmers, Wageningen University & Research (WUR) concludes in the research project Regenomics. Whether these benefits are actually present depends strongly on regional conditions, such as the availability of water and livestock manure. As a result, the transition to regenerative agriculture requires tailored, farm-specific approaches.
“Regenerative agriculture is widely seen as a promising pathway toward more sustainable farming, but we still lack sufficient insight into the economic and environmental impacts of scaling it up,” says project leader Mark Manshanden.
