THE ECONOMIC PAMPHLETEER: Realities of regenerative agriculture
John Ikerd
Abstract
Regenerative agriculture is the latest phrase in the sustainable agriculture movement (Merfield, 2019). Many early advocates have become disenchanted with the concept of sustainable agriculture. Some claim it has been co-opted, misused, and essentially made useless by the defenders of industrial agriculture. However, regenerative agriculture faces the same risks if it is not defined in terms that ensure agricultural sustainability.
