regenerative farming

A new study says regenerative farming in South Dakota can be both profitable and help reverse climate change. The research suggests practices that rebuild soil health may store carbon while keeping farms economically viable. It adds to ongoing debate in US agriculture about whether climate-friendly methods can compete financially with conventional farming.

Farmers are using unconventional methods, including burying cotton underwear to test soil microbial health and raising turkey eggs, as part of efforts to improve soil quality and reduce environmental impact. The approaches highlight how regenerative and sustainable farming practices are gaining attention as agriculture looks for practical ways to help the environment.
