Nurturing Our Future: 4 Reasons to invest in climate resilience on the farm
Farmers play a crucial role in addressing climate change, and our agricultural land holds significant potential for environmental recovery - yet much hangs in the balance with federal funding freezes and the uncertainty of how we transition to regenerative agriculture.
Soil-building has been a primary focus on Kearsarge Food Hub’s Sweet Beet Farm for the past 5 years. The difference in crop yield and resilience on the farm is tremendous.
Farms that are equipped to embrace regenerative methods can create a win-for-all scenario: sequestering carbon in the soil, responsibly managing resources, bolstering supply chains, and providing safe, nutritious food for a growing population.
