No matter how tuned in or out of farming standards you might be, chances are you are aware that some foods are deemed "healthier" because of how they were raised. One example of this is organic farming, which includes everything from produce to coffee to wine. But what if there was another type of farming, an alternative to traditional and organic farming, that promised even more? This is where regenerative farming comes into play.
Nutrient runoff from agricultural production is a significant source of water pollution in the U.S., and climate change that produces extreme weather events is likely to exacerbate the problem. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign looks at how extreme rainfall impacts runoff and suggests possible mitigation strategies.
