On 25th April, IF hosted a webinar in partnership with Yara International to discuss sustainable crop nutrition
Regenerative agriculture is an evolving, science-based and outcome-focused approach to farming, and has a significant role to play in safeguarding food security and sustainable nutrition. Central to this approach is the strategic utilisation of fertilizers.
While fertilizers have historically been associated with environmental harm, when strategically integrated within regenerative practices, they can foster soil health and bolster nutrient cycles, leading to resilient yields and food security.
In this webinar, we discussed:
While fertilizers have historically been associated with environmental harm, when strategically integrated within regenerative practices, they can foster soil health and bolster nutrient cycles, leading to resilient yields and food security.
In this webinar, we discussed:
- Which fertilizers can be employed within a regenerative farming approach, and how?
- The ecological benefits that a sustainable use of certain fertilizers can help to achieve
- The role of fertilizers in enabling sustainable crop nutrition through robust and regenerative food systems
