Placing regenerative farming on environmental educators’ horizons

Regenerative farming offers the promise of rapid carbon sequestration at global scale. Also called regenerative agriculture, it is largely absent in social science environmental discussions. Learning and teaching about regenerative farming has been left outside educational channels at many levels until now. Pastoral farmers themselves have been at the forefront of a renewal movement educating other land users how to farm beyond conventional Western modern systems. Regenerative farming challenges ‘industrial’ or ‘capitalist farming’ models that continue to degrade natural systems across the world’s pasturelands. This article describes ground-up learning processes and value propositions of farmers involved in regenerative farming. They see it as a solution to the normative shift in recent decades positioning farmers as ‘bad guys’: reducing biodiversity, degrading land systems by erosion and excess fertilisers, over-using water catchments and lowering water quality for urban communities. Understanding the claims and potential of regenerative farming enables environmental educators to be more specific in identifying potential strengths, without neglecting academic evaluation and critique to bear on this strategic climate innovation.

将再生农业置于环境教育者的视野中

再生农业提供了在全球范围内快速固碳的承诺。也称为再生农业,它在社会科学环境讨论中基本上不存在。到目前为止,关于再生农业的学习和教学在许多层面都被排除在教育渠道之外。牧民本身一直处于更新运动的最前沿,教育其他土地使用者如何在传统的西方现代系统之外进行耕作。再生农业挑战“工业”或“资本主义农业”模式,这些模式继续破坏世界牧场的自然系统。本文描述了参与再生农业的农民的基础学习过程和价值主张。他们将其视为近几十年来将农民定位为“坏人”的规范转变的解决方案:减少生物多样性,侵蚀和过量化肥使土地系统退化,过度使用集水区和降低城市社区的水质。了解再生农业的主张和潜力,使环境教育者能够更具体地识别潜在优势,而不会忽视对这一战略性气候创新的学术评估和批评。
