Europe's farms are reeling from the Iran war. Regenerative farmers saw it coming

Cikk tartalma röviden

The war on Iran is causing a crisis in European agriculture by threatening fertilizer supplies and increasing fuel prices. Regenerative farms, which rely less on synthetic fertilizers, are better positioned to cope with these disruptions. They enhance soil fertility through natural methods, improving biodiversity and public health. Despite their benefits, regenerative farming adoption is slow due to labor intensity, funding issues, and market pressures. The EU's agricultural policies are also criticized for being difficult to access. Regenerative farms show similar yields to conventional farms but with significantly lower costs and environmental impacts.
