This holistic approach emphasizes practices that work with nature rather than against it, making farming systems more resilient, productive and environmentally friendly. Key regenerative practices include crop rotation, cover cropping, no-till farming, agroforestry, and biodiverse systems. These methods promote soil carbon sequestration, increase soil organic matter, and restore soil biodiversity. For example, crop rotation enhances soil fertility by diversifying plant types, reducing pest cycles, and improving nutrient cycling. Cover crops, such as legumes, fix nitrogen, enhance soil structure, and reduce soil erosion. Similarly, agroforestry integrates trees and shrubs with crops, which not only boosts biodiversity but also improves water retention and mitigates the adverse effects of climate change. Inclusive research should be given more emphasis to know the effects of continuous cropping system on physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soils, and suggestive cropping systems for agro-climatic zones across the country having better system productivity on sustainable basis, keeping the food security intact.
