Regenerative agriculture, from soil to sustainability
Description
Despite being a major contributor to global emissions, farming might just hold the key to solving the climate crisis. When agriculture is regenerative, it becomes a win-win for people and planet, increasing food security while protecting the environment.
We unpack this method of sustainable farming and explore how small-scale farmers can harness it to lead the way to a food-secure future. Hear from global regenerative agriculture leaders – and learn how IFAD is leveraging their techniques to combat climate change in rural communities.
This is Farms. Food. Future – a podcast that's good for you, good for the planet and good for farmers. Brought to you by the International Fund for Agricultural Development.

Most of our work falls under one of three major program areas: education, network-building and policy work. Here’s what we do:
Education: We educate consumers, farmers, policymakers, media and the general public on the benefits of regenerative agriculture and land management.
Network-Building: We invite groups to join our Partner Network and we assist groups or individuals at the local, regional or national level who are committed to building Regeneration Alliances.
Policy Work: We identify, promote and galvanize support for local, regional, national and international policy initiatives that have the potential to advance the transition to regenerative food, farming and land management. - Home - Fibershed - Fibershed is a non-profit organization that develops regional fiber systems that build ecosystem and community health.
