Can regenerative agriculture bring damaged soil back to life? This video explores how regenerative agriculture may improve soil health, support farmers, and strengthen food security in the Philippines.

Healthy soil is essential for growing nutritious food, retaining water, and sustaining farming communities. However, repeated chemical use, erosion, intensive tillage, and the loss of organic matter can gradually reduce the soil’s fertility.

Regenerative farming focuses on rebuilding the soil instead of simply extracting more from it. Common regenerative agriculture practices include:

• Adding compost and organic matter
• Planting cover crops
• Rotating crops
• Reducing unnecessary tillage
• Protecting soil from erosion
• Improving water retention
• Encouraging biological activity in the soil
