About this ebook
Restoration of agricultural ecosystems involves a concerted effort to revive and sustainably manage soil health, nutrient cycles, and carbon dynamics. By implementing regenerative practices such as cover cropping, agroforestry, and reduced tillage, farmers can enhance soil fertility, minimize erosion, and sequester carbon. This restoration process not only boosts the resilience of agricultural landscapes but also contributes to global efforts in combating climate change. Through the restoration of soil nutrients and carbon dynamics, we can cultivate healthier ecosystems that support abundant food production while safeguarding the environment for future generations.
