#RegenerativeAgriculture "does, in fact, regenerate ecological function including soil health, resilience, GHG mitigation, and biodiversity . . . When comparing this approach to a business-as-usual COM-based approach, and including soil C sequestration, the overall emission footprint of the regenerative agriculture approach was 3-fold less"

MORE PEPPERS!
