Regenerative Agriculture

Growing your own food is magical.

There are six different types of regenerative farming and Marina O’Connell’s Designing Regenerative Food Systems: And Why We Need Them Now is a great introduction.

She cherry picked the best elements of biodynamic, organic, permaculture, agroforestry, agroecological and regenerative agriculture as used them at the Apricot centre in Devon which she founded with her husband Mark.

The Apricot Centre ‘aims to create and run a sustainable diverse farm, wellbeing service and business. It recognises that there is a fundamental link between the wellbeing of the soil, food and habitat, and the mental and physical health of the people in and around the farm, making for a wonderful environment for a warm and effective mental health/wellbeing service for children and families.’

All it omits are the accelerators referred to elsewhere: structured water, copper tools and electroculture.
