Olivia Boothman's recent conversation with FoodNavigator explores the alignment between the EU’s Nature Restoration Law and regenerative agriculture, and how nature and food production are intertwined.

Our Projects Officer, Olivia Boothman, recently spoke to FoodNavigator about the compatibility of the EU’s Nature Restoration Law with regenerative agriculture, highlighting the alignment of their goals, including a focus on improving biodiversity and enhancing soil carbon stocks. 🗣️ “Encouragingly, the EU Nature Restoration Law acknowledges that agriculture, when practiced according to regenerative principles, can form part of the solution to the nature crisis. This is a positive shift away from the dominant narrative which tends to segregate nature from food production.” Outcomes from regenerative agriculture are generally perceived as being wider than just nature restoration, as recognised by Regen10’s outcome framework, which is underpinned by the Global Farm Metric. 📢 To harness the full potential of regenerative agriculture to combat society’s many crises, Olivia advocated that, “It is imperative that government departments work together to realise these changes and, crucially, that farmers are supported through the transition to more sustainable farming and are recognised and valued for their contributions to society, not only as food producers but also critical custodians of the land.” 🔗 Read Olivia’s full conservation with Food Navigator here: https://lnkd.in/e6wnJ2mV #NatureRestoration #Biodiversity #SoilCarbon #RegenerativeAgriculture
