Food system problems

While water stress, flooding and eutrophication are major problems as such, they are actually symptoms of deeper, underlying issues within food systems. The way our mainstream food systems are constructed and operate today are either directly causing or significantly contributing to these problems we face. There is a dire need to re-think our food systems.

Can we fix our food systems?

While conventional agricultural practices have contributed to several environmental problems like soil degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change, the future is not all doom and gloom. One emerging practice that holds a lot of promise for a better future is regenerative agriculture.

Regenerative agriculture is a system of farming principles and practices that aims to rehabilitate and enhance the entire agroecosystem. The goal is not just to reduce harm, but to actively enhance and rebuild natural systems. This approach emphasizes the restoration and maintenance of soil health. Healthy soils lead to increased carbon storage, improved water retention, and a richer, more diverse habitat for plants and animals.
