Regenerative Farming Soil Value Calculator

Regenerative agriculture is a conservation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming systems. It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving the water cycle, enhancing ecosystem services, supporting biosequestration, increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of farm soil.

Soil organic matter improves soil structure, water retention, nutrient availability, and microbial activity. Each 1% increase in soil organic matter helps soil hold 20,000 gallons more water per acre, reduces erosion, and provides essential nutrients for plant growth, leading to more resilient and productive farms.

While some benefits like reduced erosion and improved water infiltration can occur within the first year, significant increases in soil organic matter and carbon sequestration typically take 3-5 years. The timeline depends on factors such as climate, soil type, previous management practices, and the intensity of regenerative methods implemented.

Absolutely. Regenerative practices are scalable and can be implemented on farms of all sizes. Small farms often see proportionally greater benefits from improved soil health as they typically have more diverse operations and can implement changes more quickly than large-scale operations.
