UNIT 1 – WHY REGENERATIVE FARMING MATTERS

What is Regenerative Farming?​

Regenerative farming focuses on protecting nature, improving soil health, and reducing pollution. It aligns with EU goals such as the Green Deal and Farm‑to‑Fork Strategy, which promote safe, healthy and sustainable food production.

Learners can identify regenerative farming as a system that:

  • Protects soil, water and biodiversity
  • Reduces chemical use
  • Supports long‑term farm resilience

Why healthy soil matters?

Healthy soil contains organic matter and living organisms. This helps soil store more water and hold more carbon, which supports climate‑smart farming.

Learners can explain that healthy soil:

·       Holds water better during dry periods

·       Stores carbon and helps reduce climate change

·       Supports stronger, more productive crops
