Regenerative agriculture is a way to generate more resilient and sustainable farming models by the use of strategies like reduced soil disturbance, integrating livestock and using crop rotation to reduce the broader environmental impacts of food production.
But to be effective, regenerative agriculture needs to be supported by data and smart innovations that can help farmers make their way through the complexities of this transition.
This is the subject that Dr Harry Langford, an environmental scientist and agri-tech innovation specialist focused on advancing crop productivity in a sustainable way covers in this talk ‘Sustainable innovations for regenerative agriculture’, part of SCI’s SCItalks series.
SCI’s SCItalks are given by the most prominent and influential academics, thinkers and industry leaders who are working to translate scientific innovation into societal impact. These talks form part of an SCI’s charitable outreach which seeks to create public conversations about science-based topics in a way that is accessible to all. This is the second in a three-part SCItalk series on sustainability.
The video for the first talk in the series: ‘Regenerative agriculture - what does it mean for farmers, policy makers and you?’ is also available here.
