Dear Colleagues and Students,
We are hearing a great deal about "Regenerative Agriculture", so I thought I would draw your attention to this very good perspective on the subject (thank you Susan for forwarding the message and the attached paper). The term "regenerative agriculture" comes from the organic movement and was first articulated by James Rodale of the Rodale Centre in 1983. However, it has been nuanced since and is making a comeback a dominant agricultural movement.
The paper, which is attached, was written by Ken Giller of Wageningen University. Ken is very well-respected as an independent voice in agronomy and crop science; he has conducted most of his work in Europe and Africa.
Best wishes, Martin
