The values and mindset of farmers are key to regenerative farming practices, according to a new white paper by a country-wide group of researchers in New Zealand. The paper identifies key research topics for further study to improve understanding and practice of regenerative farming, as well as outlining the core principles of this mode of agriculture. The authors say that while regenerative farming is not a "magic bullet", it does have potential to help move New Zealand towards its sustainability goals.
