Regenerative
adjective | re·gen·er·a·tive | rəˈjen(ə)rədiv
tending to or characterized by regeneration, i.e.

Regenerative agriculture is a toolkit of farming practices that restore, rather than destroy, the land and ecosystems. They increase and enhance the existing conditions — biodiversity, soils, watersheds, as well as the social systems involved.


A regenerative consumer is someone who aligns her daily choices and purchasing decisions in a way that supports regenerative farms, farmers, and the producers who source their materials from them.
A regenerative lifestyle means sourcing one’s material needs from regenerative sources as much as possible — but also integrating the same principle of “regeneration” to all aspects of one’s life: using resources (water, energy, money, personal energy) in a way that rebuilds them rather than depletes them; eliminating pointless waste; doing what is nourishing and restores the vitality and joy of oneself, one’s community, and the wider ecosystem.
