Regenerative farming practices are better for our health

A new study looked at how regenerative farming practices — soil-building techniques, the use of cover crops, and planting diverse crops — affected the nutritional content of the food.

The results of the preliminary experiment, which included 10 farms across the US, show that the crops from farms using soil-friendly practices for five years or more had an increase in certain minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals that benefit human health.
