Regenerative Agriculture-Sustainable Agriculture Based on the Conservational Land Use

With the intensified global ecological crisis and the increasing demand for food and food safety, it has become a widespread concern of the whole world as to how to realize the sustainable development of agriculture. In this context, the regenerative agriculture was proposed and developed to cope with new challenges. This paper discussed the content, ecological and economic benefits of regenerative agriculture and analyzed the application scenarios in China, aiming to provide theoretical guidance for the introduction and development of this new agricultural model in China. To sum up, regenerative agriculture is a nature-based solution which has at its core the intention to improve the health of soil through elevated soil organic content and nitrogen elements as well as reduced chemicals input and mechanical operations, so as to realize the sustainable development of agriculture, namely enhanced soil carbon sequestration, maximized biodiversity and improved quality of water, vegetation and land-productivity. Compared to several other agriculture models with respect to multiple dimensions, regenerative agriculture stands out by simultaneously achieving improvements in food security, soil health, ecological environment and economic benefits. The advantages of applying regenerative agriculture were further proved with specific cases. At last, suggestions on the development of regenerative agriculture in China were put forward.
