Drawing on traditional and Indigenous agricultural practices, regenerative farming aims to improve the quality of soil while growing plants.
? Carefully tended soil produces stronger plants, and "data indicates that plants grown off of healthier soils tend to have more phytonutrients," says Dr. Rowntree. Indeed, a 2022 study assessed vegetables grown from regenerative farms and found that they had higher levels of B vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals than their conventionally grown counterparts.
