From Definitions to Dirt — a Practical Look at Defining the Term “Regenerative Ag”
Regenerative agriculture is one of those terms that can spark a debate faster than a coffee-row chat about tillage, but on this episode of Ruminating with RealAg, host Amber Bell sits down with Joel Williams of Integrated Soils to keep things grounded. Williams, an independent plant and soil health educator who works with farmers around the world, says the push to define “regen” is understandable, but it’s still evolving and looks different depending on climate, production system, and local realities. “I don’t like to box it in yet…,” he says, adding that focusing on outcomes such as actually regenerating the soil, landscape, or community, matters more than chasing a one-size-fits-all rulebook.
