Regenerative soils

Compared with their conventionally grown neighbours, food grown under regenerative practices contained, on average:

• More magnesium, calcium, potassium and zinc
• More vitamins, including B1, B12, C, E and K
• More phytochemicals, compounds that have been shown to reduce inflammation and boost human health.

Crops were also lower in elements broadly detrimental to human health, including sodium, cadmium and nickel.

The beef and pork raised on regenerative agriculture feed were higher in omega-3 fatty acids than meat from a conventional feedlot.
