Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and


farming systems. It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving
the water cycle, enhancing ecosystem services, supporting bio-sequestration,
increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of
farm soil.

As soil health improves, input requirements may decrease, and crop yields may
increase as soils are more resilient against extreme weather and harbor fewer pests
and pathogens.
Regenerative Agriculture
Water
• Water issues and Agriculture
• In a context of climate change and a fast-growing population, sustainable water
management represents a major issue, to protect water resources and secure their
supply in terms of quantity and quality
• Agricultural diffuse pollution significantly affects the chemical status and ecological
status of waterbodies in the EU - main pollutants from agriculture include nutrients,
pesticides, sediment (from soil erosion) and faecal microbes
• Agriculture is a significant source of water abstraction for irrigation and affects the hydro
morphology of surface waterbodies (modification of the stream flow, physical
modification of meanders)
Agricultural practices affecting water

• Adverse effects of agriculture on water status depend on the management systems implemented by
farm and forest holders
• Agricultural practices having an impact on water quality and quantity are associated with:
