Regenerative agriculture (which describes a range of soil and crop management practices, including zero-tillage, cover-cropping and diversified rotations) offers multiple potential benefits to farmers. These can include increasing soil carbon sequestration and improving soil health, including soil biological activity, and soil physical structure. These changes to soil properties can maintain and support crop yields. However, many significant knowledge gaps remain. Many regenerative farming practices are studied in isolation, but in order to meet Net Zero emissions targets and decarbonise UK food production systems, farmers will need to adopt multiple practices at one. More information is needed to demonstrate impacts on soil health, biodiversity, and carbon stocks in order to inform farmer and policymaker decision-making, and support accelerated transitions to more sustainable practices. This project addresses this challenge.

再生农业（描述了一系列土壤和农作物管理实践，包括零耕作，盖子作品和多元化的轮作）为农民带来了多种潜在利益。这些可能包括增加土壤碳固执和改善土壤健康，包括土壤生物学活动和土壤物理结构。土壤特性的这些变化可以维持和支持作物产量。但是，仍然存在许多重要的知识差距。孤立地研究了许多再生农业实践，但是为了满足零排放量的目标和脱碳的英国食品生产系统，农民将需要一项采用多种实践。需要更多信息来证明对土壤健康，生物多样性和碳库存的影响，以告知农民和政策制定者的决策，并支持加速向更可持续的实践的过渡。该项目解决了这一挑战。
