REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE IS
one of the most hopeful movements of our time
Hickory Nut Gap employs managed grazing practices, which involve careful planning and observation, and frequent movement of herds. This leads to an animal impact on the land that enriches the soil and feeds the microbial life underground. This kind of living soil has the potential to sequester carbon instead of releasing it into the atmosphere, a major win in the fight against global warming. Farming practices that improve soil health also improve soil capacity to hold water, reducing erosion. Lastly, regenerative farming maximizes the biodiversity on the farm, so that populations of soil micro organisms, plants, pollinators, birds and small mammals are healthy and contributing to a holistic, functioning ecosystem.
