How Regenerative Agriculture Works

Regenerative agriculture is an effective way to restore biodiversity and stabilize the climate, but what exactly is it? This video explores three different regenerative practices that have great potential both in food production and in healing the land.

Do you want to change the world?
We do!

We want to help so there is more trees planted every day than there are trees getting cut down.

We have therefore created a collection of organic and ecological shirts, see https://tinyurl.com/Natures-Voice , and we give 25% of the profit to The Nature Concervancy (https://bit.ly/2QkbDGg)
So you will get a beautiful organic/ecological shirt and at the same time plant trees.

It is a win-win, let us change the future of our planet together!
