What is regenerative agriculture? With Amelie Gaudin
Regenerative agriculture is currently all the rage these days in some circles. With a broad range of practices that can be classified as regenerative, it still can feel like a mushy term that means different things to different people (which is actually by design). Amelie Gaudin sits down with Phoebe Gordon to discuss what qualifies as a regenerative practice, how the focus differs from “conventional” agriculture, and the science behind it (spoiler alert: you’re probably already familiar with a lot of it!).
Come to an upcoming extension meeting!
