Regenerative farming is unique among other sustainable and organic farming systems in that it focuses on quantitative, measurable outcomes, and without dogmatically prescribing how those outcomes should be achieved.
As a result, regenerative farmers are more outcome or result-oriented, as they seek higher yields, healthier food, and/or less waste. A regenerative approach creates evidence whether our sustainability goals –such as healthier, more nutrient dense food, nature recovery or clean water – are being met.
Here modern technology can help. Crops can be managed by observing and measuring variability through satellite navigation and geographical data systems and sensors located on machines or on the land. The data gathered about the condition of the soil, climate and crops is used to improve decision-making, resource use, and thereby to contribute to a more efficient and sustainable farming system. The main objective is to achieve greater yields with fewer resources.
