C an regenerative agriculture (RA) produce an adequate amount of nutritious food for the growing and increasingly affluent world population while also reducing and offsetting some anthropogenic emissions? The question may be reframed: how can RA be adapted to produce enough food, be a negative emission technology, and advance Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations (2015)? System-based RA reconciles the need of producing adequate and nutritious food with the necessity of restoring the environment, making farming a solution to environmental issues. It encompasses a wide range of farming and grazing practices aimed at restoration and sustainable management of soil health through sequestration of soil organic carbon (C). There is no one-size-fits-all practice for diverse soils and ecoregions. RA comprises system-based conservation agriculture (CA), which includes no-till farming in conjunction with residue mulching, cover cropping, integrated nutrient and pest management, complex rotations, and integration of crops with trees and livestock (figure 1) (Lal 2015). RA is all inclusive, and its site-specific package(s) must be fine-tuned in the context of biophysical factors and the human dimensions. RA is soil-centric …

粮食和气候的再生农业

再生农业 (RA) 能否为不断增长和日益富裕的世界人口生产足够数量的营养食品，同时还能减少和抵消一些人为排放？这个问题可以重新定义：RA 如何适应生产足够的食物，成为一种负排放技术，并推进联合国的可持续发展目标（2015）？基于系统的 RA 调和了生产充足和营养食品的需求与恢复环境的必要性，使农业成为环境问题的解决方案。它涵盖了广泛的农业和放牧实践，旨在通过固存土壤有机碳 (C) 来恢复和可持续管理土壤健康。对于不同的土壤和生态区，没有一刀切的做法。RA 包括基于系统的保护性农业 (CA)，其中包括免耕农业与残留覆盖、覆盖作物、综合养分和病虫害管理、复杂轮作以及作物与树木和牲畜的整合（图 1）（Lal 2015 ）。RA 包罗万象，其特定地点的包必须在生物物理因素和人类维度的背景下进行微调。RA 以土壤为中心……
