It goes beyond the traditional boundaries of agriculture by focusing on restoring ecosystems, improving soil health, and promoting a sustainable coexistence between humans and the environment. This chapter explores the core principles of regenerative agriculture, highlighting its potential to address pressing environmental challenges associated with conventional methods. Key components include prioritizing soil health through practices like cover cropping and minimizing soil disturbance, promoting biodiversity through diversified crops and holistic management, and implementing water conservation techniques. The economic viability of regenerative practices is supported by reduced input costs, increased resilience, and diversified income streams for farmers. Socially, regenerative agriculture encourages community engagement and knowledge sharing and contributes to local food security. Although there are barriers to adopting regenerative practices, such as initial transition costs and policy challenges, many farmers have already embraced this approach. As emerging trends and technologies continue to shape the agricultural landscape, regenerative practices offer a beacon of hope for a more sustainable and inclusive future. They provide a pathway towards resilient, environmentally conscious, and socially equitable food systems.application/htmlenginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessregenerative agriculturesoil healthagricultural biodiversitysustainabilityagricultural resiliencehttps://purl.org/pe-repo/ocde/ford#4.01.06https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-97-7564-4_5Regenerative Agriculture; Soil Management; Agroecosystems; Climate Change; Crop Diversification
