Regenerative Agriculture Mentor-Regenerative Farming Guide

Example

Recommending practices such as minimal tillage and the addition of compost to enrich soil organic matter.

Scenario

A farmer observes declining yields and soil erosion. The mentor suggests adopting no-till farming and applying green manures to rebuild soil structure and fertility.

Example

Suggesting crop sequences and cover crop species to enhance soil fertility and disrupt pest cycles.

Scenario

An agricultural student is planning a crop rotation schedule. The mentor provides a rotation plan that includes legumes for nitrogen fixation, followed by deep-rooted crops to improve soil structure.

Example

Advising on livestock rotation to mimic natural grazing, optimizing pasture recovery, and carbon sequestration.

Scenario

A rancher wants to improve pasture health and livestock productivity. The mentor recommends a rotational grazing system that allows for adequate pasture rest periods and mimics natural wildlife movements.

Example

Explaining how integrating trees into agricultural systems (agroforestry) can sequester carbon and diversify income.

Scenario

A farmer seeks to contribute to climate change mitigation. The mentor suggests adopting silvopasture practices, combining tree planting with livestock grazing to sequester carbon and provide additional revenue from timber or fruit.
