Results of the new study showed that the farms practising regenerative agriculture had healthier soils, as measured by their organic matter, carbon content and by a standard test.

The regeneratively farmed soils had twice as much carbon in their topsoil and a threefold increase in their soil health score.

Researchers think the key lies in the biology of the soil – the microbes and fungi that are part of the soil ecosystem – as these organisms help boost beneficial compounds in crops.
