▼ Our Definition of Regenerative Agriculture

Regenerative agriculture is farming in nature’s image, rooted in regenerating soil, instead of extracting from it. FoxRAP takes it further. We believe regenerative includes all aspects of ag that have been degraded through industrial agriculture: soil, habitat, nutrition, farm life and livelihood, human and biodiversity, interdependency, communities, landscapes, ecosystems, and social and land justice.
There’s no official definition of regenerative agriculture and it’s not one thing. It’s often described as a set of practices, which, at its most basic, include: keeping living roots in the soil, keeping soil covered, minimal soil disturbance, crop rotation and diversity, and integrating livestock.
Modern regenerative ag draws from decades of scientific and on-the-ground research, including from indigenous communities, communities of color and those from the Global South, who receive little to no credit for refining these practices through the centuries.
