A Beginner’s Guide To Regenerative Agriculture

Why The Need For Regenerative Agriculture?

Introduction

With the global food system facing the perfect storm of a growing population, shifting diets & the impact of changing climates, growers are starting to look for solutions to help them weather the changes. Regenerative agriculture represents a shift towards more holistic farming practices. By prioritising factors such as soil health, biodiversity & water retention farmers can increase their crop's resilience and even boost productivity.

What Regenerative Agriculture Can Do For You

Using remote sensing data to conduct soil stratification and identify optimal soil sampling requirements.

Regenerative Agriculture encompasses a range of practices such as minimising soil disturbance, integrating livestock, reducing synthetic inputs and preserving water. Shifting to a regenerative mindset can help with:

• Increased Productivity: Healthier soils can result in increased crop productivity of between 10 & 30%, and when combined with reductions in input requirements can increase your overall profitability.

• Improved Soil Health: Reducing soil disturbance, smart use of livestock and cover cropping can boost soil health resulting in higher levels of nutrients & improved water retention.

• Increased Climate Resilience: Regenerative Agriculture is great way to drive increased levels of carbon sequestration in your soils resulting in well documented improvements in your crop's resilience to climatic events.

Crucially, with so many avenues to explore, deciding what methods to adopt into your management can be a real headache for farmers. 

Deep Planet’s Solution

Deep Planet has tools to help you block out the noise and start taking meaningful action to improve the future for your farm:

• Soil Zoning: Understand the natural variations in your sites soil health & identify zones in need of urgent changes in management strategy.

• Soil Organic Carbon: Monitor SOC levels at the block level and track improvements in Carbon against preselected baseline dates. Easily compare the impact of management actions & assess efficacy.

• Variable Rate Application: Reduce your overall application of synthetic inputs with customised maps for targeted application. Calculate fertiliser application by zone and quantify savings.

World Leading Research & Collaboration

Deep Planet has been helping our users to adopt sustainable, profitable regenerative practices for several years. We offer a range of solutions to farmers of any size, from data insights to back agronomy decisions at the field level to helping rangeland managers implement rotational grazing strategies & identify regions of overgrazing over hundreds of kilometres. This project, detailed in the publication "AI For Sustainable Agriculture & Rangeland Monitoring" underscores the potential of cutting-edge AI in promoting regenerative agriculture.
