Agricultural practices from ancient cultures around the world are again becoming popular with today’s land managers. While regenerative agriculture is not a new method to manage ranches and farms, renewed interest in the approach spotlights the broad benefits of improved soil health, including better water conservation and water quality.
In June, the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) cohosted a regenerative soil health workshop in partnership with the Small Producers Initiative, the Edwards Aquifer Authority, and the Medina Water Conservation District.
Interested landowners were invited to learn firsthand about regenerative agriculture practices, such as high-density rotational grazing and using cover crops, from ranchers and producers applying these methods to their land.
