A great infographic!

The soil on the left is the result of regenerative agriculture. Sheep and cattle were carefully managed and rotated on the land. They ate the grass, deposited t...heir urine and dung and were then moved away to let the grass grow back quickly. The cycle is then repeated at a later date. This allows the pulling of carbon into the soil. It is darker because carbon from the atmosphere (and more organic matter) is now in the soil. The soil on the right is from the neighbour's farm (where the corners of the paddocks meet) but only regular grazing methods were used there (animals were kept in one area). The soil with more carbon holds a lot more water (roughly 150,000 liters of water per hectare for every 1% of carbon that’s added) and is full of microbes. Whether we eat them or not, carefully managed animals play a crucial role in regenerating the land and getting carbon into the soil. We can also grow grains, vegetables and many other crops using Regenerative practices that improve the quality of the soil. #regenerativeagriculture #theregeneration @savoryinstitute
