It is not good to generalize a problem if it is related to a particular incident or person. But in agricultural practices, it can be generalized that we have a global problem to face in the upcoming future regarding natural resources.  In agriculture, our current practices(in most countries) are not sustainable. We have to face and will continue to face problems like least soil fertility, soil erosion, disturbed natural eco-system, most dependency on animal meat, least natural resources for future generations, etc.  Regenerative agriculture is a solution to such problems. We will discuss here the actual problems and their solutions with the explanation of regenerative agriculture. Regenerative farming and soil regeneration  Let's discuss what is regenerative agricultural practices, techniques, and their importance for sustainability.  What is regenerative farming? It is a bit complex to explain regenerative farming in a line or a definition. Practically, regenerative farming includ

We have to face major challenges in the upcoming future regarding natural energy sources, water sources, agricultural land, quality products, etc. Continuous overuse of available natural resources is creating the main problems.  Without any plan to sustain in the future, it will create humongous problems in front of human-related to his daily life.  We need a sustainable farming system that can help us to sustain ourselves in the future.

It can improve soil fertility and is good for sustaina

With the curent rate of global development, most people are unaware of the problems we are going to face in the future because we are making everything comfortable. In the upcoming future, we are going to face(facing some of them currently) major problems like energy sources, soil conservation, water conservation, and forest conservation. We are losing natural resources very fast and soon we will face the impact of it in our daily life.  We have to deal with these problems and encourage and implement the eco-friendly methods of agriculture and energy sources to sustain in future.
