The importance of regenerative farming, environmental protection and reducing carbon emissions came under the spotlight during a panel discussion hosted by Nedbank at Nampo Harvest Day on Thursday.
Dr Hendrik Smith, a regenerative conservation agriculture researcher at South Africa Asset Research, said regenerative farming aims to bring agricultural practices closer to nature.
“Through natural science observations and experiences we've identified a couple of principles followed by practices that help us to do that,” Smith said.
He stressed that regenerative agriculture is not a new concept, but one that needs to be expanded and accelerated to address environmental challenges.
