Regenerative agriculture was a major focus at this year’s Climate Week, highlighting a path to restore soil health and reduce food insecurity.
Centered on techniques that rebuild the soil’s natural resilience, regenerative farming can improve water retention and contribute to carbon sequestration.
California—the U.S. agricultural powerhouse—is under pressure from extreme weather events such as droughts, wildfires and heavy storms. In many parts of the state, farmers are already exploring regenerative methods to protect their land and livelihoods.
Yet scientists warn that climate-resilient practices need faster, broader adoption. Scaling up these approaches globally will be critical for global food security in an increasingly unpredictable climate.
