Role of Regenerative Organic Agriculture in a Changing Climate
Weather has always shaped farming, but today’s droughts, floods, and unpredictable seasons are becoming more extreme, and a farm’s ability to withstand these conditions depends largely on the health of its soil. This position paper draws on more than 40 years of evidence from Rodale Institute’s Farming Systems Trial, which shows that organic soils can hold more water, store more carbon, and produce stronger yields during droughts and floods than conventionally farmed soils. Two additional Rodale Institute research efforts: regenerative farming trials across the Southeast and a program testing which soil amendments are most effectively reinforce these findings. Together, these studies point to the same conclusion: healthy soil is one of a farmer’s strongest defenses against a changing climate, especially when weather conditions become most challenging.
