Only three months into starting a new regenerative food system, Mida (of @agrinatif) was surprised to find that we were already able to start harvesting. This is just one of 8 squashes found and possibly the smallest one of the bunch. Sure fire way to continue motivating our neighbor 🙌🏾 #growninhaiti #agrinatif #mida #teamwork #joumou #squash #haiti #ayiti #regenerativefoodsystem #regenerativeagriculture #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #soilhealth #abundance #harvest https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNtQWYulz3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

How we graze our woods…
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now considering we try to find a good balance between food for us and nature thriving, you would think we would keep our livestock out of our woods for a ‘easy win’ for biodiversity.
We don’t. Mainly because both the woods and the cows seem to do better when they get to meet each other.
We are careful though.
So on the farm we have four different type of wood grazing going on here.
1. Summer grazed
2. Winter grazed
3. Moorland edge set stocked regeneration
4. Ungrazed ‘new’ woods
We have wet woods and field edge woods that get summer grazed. This is where the cows (the sheep come into this later) graze a field at a time, in a two days graze, over 30 days rest pattern, we don’t have a high intensity mob graze system, we aim to leave a lot behind, including sapling’s and scrub, taking the cows out of the wood/field before they can possibly eat everything. We find the woods are bliss for cows in the summer heat, and that they browse the trees but regrowth and new trees survive, especially where the bramble has a foothold. (The cattle browse on the bramble to, but generally later in the year when the saplings are less lush and tasty.)
The winter grazed wood is a larger wood, historically coppiced and with very thin soil due to old open tin mines and rubble heaps. A small bunch of cattle get let into here and left all winter. They get fed hay and have the fun of it all for months. They love it. The wood gets less browse as the leaves have dropped, and most of the understory is in winter mode. There is a lack of understory throughout this wood except where we have started to coppice it again. The lack of light seems to be the main inhibitor to growth in the summer.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The moorland edge woods are natural regen. We have photos of the moor clear of trees, but a reduction (not clearance) of sheep has allowed a gradual creep up the hill of the birch and oak wood. The sheep graze in it, especially in hard weather, and as it’s so airy the lichen thrives. We will just let it get on with its expansion up to the point of the mass of archeology (which we have to keep a bit clearer, so burn every 6 yrs or so), keeping the sheep numbers steady (100 Hebridean sheep mouths inc lambs mixed with cattle and ponies over 200acres including open moor and gorse scrub)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The ‘new’ ungrazed wood has been shut off from grazing for years. It was planted larch in the 70s (drought didn’t help it establish…) and now it’s a lot of Hazel and poor dying young ash. The understory is very poor, too dark, but it’s fairly full of fungi so interesting in its way. I feel it needs a burst of pigs and that as the ash dies the understory will improve. (I can’t find a photo right now… sorry)
We also have corners of ‘never grazed wood’ odd bits where the rocks keep the cattle or sheep or coppice men out, I will do a comparison in the summer to show the understory.
Tumblr media
None of this is perfect, but it adds up to a huge amount of very varied biodiversity and a fair number of happy cattle and sheep. We have natural regrowth of trees of all kinds, from beech to oak to masses of Hazel. We have ragged edges to our fields, not clear line where the woods stop and the pasture starts. Wood pasture as well. It’s a mess, but it’s also a farm and it grows so much food for us and all the other creatures that live here…

Regenerative Agriculture: A Sustainable Approach To Farming
Tumblr media
Regenerative agriculture is gaining increasing attention as a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to farming. Unlike conventional farming practices that focus solely on maximizing yields and profitability, regenerative farming emphasizes soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. In this article, we will explore the principles, benefits, challenges, and potential of regenerative agriculture in addressing global food security, climate change, and environmental degradation.
Principles of Regenerative Agriculture:
This type of agriculture is guided by several key principles aimed at restoring and enhancing the health of agroecosystems while minimizing negative environmental impacts. These principles include:
Soil Health: Regenerative agriculture prioritizes the health and vitality of soil as the foundation of agricultural productivity. Practices such as minimal tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation, and composting are employed to improve soil structure, fertility, and microbial activity.
Biodiversity: Diversity is encouraged in both crop and animal species to enhance ecosystem resilience, pest and disease resistance, and nutrient cycling. Polyculture and agroforestry systems are utilized to mimic natural ecosystems and promote biodiversity on farms.
Tumblr media
Carbon Sequestration: Regenerative agriculture practices aim to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it in the soil through techniques such as agroforestry, rotational grazing, and the use of cover crops. This helps mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing carbon sinks in agricultural landscapes.
Holistic Management: Regenerative farmers adopt holistic management approaches that consider the interconnectedness of soil, plants, animals, and humans within agroecosystems. This holistic approach emphasizes collaboration with nature, adaptive management, and continuous improvement.
Benefits of Regenerative Farming:
Regenerative agriculture offers a range of benefits for farmers, consumers, and the environment, including:
Improved Soil Health: By enhancing soil fertility, structure, and organic matter content, regenerative farming improves soil health and productivity, leading to higher crop yields, reduced erosion, and better water retention.
Increased Biodiversity: Regenerative practices promote biodiversity on farms, supporting pollinators, beneficial insects, and wildlife habitats. Diverse ecosystems are more resilient to pests, diseases, and environmental stresses, reducing the need for synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
Climate Resilience: Through carbon sequestration and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, regenerative agriculture helps mitigate climate change and build resilience to extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves.
Enhanced Nutritional Quality: Studies have shown that regeneratively grown crops and livestock products may have higher nutritional content, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, compared to conventionally produced foods.
Sustainable Livelihoods: Regenerative agriculture offers economic opportunities for smallholder farmers, rural communities, and indigenous peoples by promoting diversified and locally adapted farming systems, value-added products, and direct marketing channels.
Challenges and Considerations:
Tumblr media
While regenerative agriculture holds great promise for sustainable food production, it also faces several challenges and considerations, including:
Knowledge and Education: Adopting regenerative practices requires education, training, and technical assistance for farmers to understand the principles and techniques involved. Extension services, farmer-to-farmer networks, and demonstration projects can help disseminate knowledge and best practices.
Investment and Infrastructure: Transitioning to regenerative farming may require initial investments in equipment, infrastructure, and resources, which can be a barrier for small-scale farmers and resource-limited regions. Access to finance, incentives, and supportive policies can facilitate adoption and investment in regenerative practices.
Market Access and Consumer Awareness: Building market demand for regeneratively produced foods and products requires consumer education, labeling, and certification schemes that communicate the environmental, social, and health benefits of regenerative agriculture. Strengthening local and regional food systems can also improve market access for regenerative farmers.
Policy and Governance: Regulatory frameworks, agricultural policies, and land tenure systems may need to be reformed to incentivize and support regenerative farming practices. Governments can play a crucial role in providing subsidies, incentives, and technical assistance to promote sustainable land management and agroecological farming methods.
Social Equity: Regenerative agriculture emphasizes equitable access to resources, knowledge, and opportunities for all farmers, including smallholders, women, youth, and marginalized communities. By promoting inclusive and participatory decision-making processes, regenerative farming contributes to social cohesion, community empowerment, and rural development.
Tumblr media
Ecosystem Services: Regenerative farming practices provide a wide range of ecosystem services, including pollination, water purification, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation. By restoring and enhancing natural habitats, regenerative farming supports ecosystem functions and ecological balance, benefiting both agricultural landscapes and adjacent ecosystems.
Conclusion:
Regenerative agriculture offers a holistic and sustainable approach to farming that prioritizes soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. By adopting regenerative practices, farmers can improve agricultural productivity, mitigate climate change, and enhance environmental sustainability while promoting economic livelihoods and food security for future generations. As awareness of the benefits of regenerative farming grows, concerted efforts are needed from stakeholders across the food system to support its widespread adoption and implementation on a global scale.

Zero Tillage: Transforming Agriculture Sustainably
Tumblr media
Zero tillage, also known as no-till farming This practice involves planting crops without disturbing the soil through plowing or tilling. By eliminating these traditional soil preparation methods, zero tillage offers numerous benefits. It helps conserve moisture, prevent soil erosion, and enhance soil structure and fertility and zero tillage reduces the need for herbicides, saves time and fuel, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions. This sustainable farming technique promotes long-term soil health and biodiversity.

It’s been amazing season before spring so far because of our supporters and partners. Thank you all very much as always!! The minimum numbers of CSA members has been reached however someone has been missing or out of contact, therefore We’d like to call few more members. There are no single order for this year too. so please consider to support us as vote of right food production. For your information, We are the farm team only sowing heirloom seeds and grow them without any chemical resources such as pesticides and fertilizers. We also produce pure raw honey of the best in Asian countries, organizing “seed to table” kitchen @omefarmkitchen too. Since Covid shock, We stopped individual order (except restaurants or cafe, bar) for home and started CSA membership, We directly deliver to someone who understands about us. This makes more sense to get concentrated to provide our veggies & honey to with effort. If you might interested and ask more, please come to @omefarmkitchen or @farmersmarketjp on weekend. 料理する際に欠かせない食材、イタリアンパセリ。春を迎えグングンと育っています。 2023年度のCSAメンバー、お陰様で募集人数集まりましたが、突然連絡取れなくなった方や、止むを得ず国外転勤になってしまった方がいて、追加で募集しています。 残り1週間程度ですが、今年も単発オーダーを受ける予定は特別な事情以外はないので、ぜひ支援と返礼というかたちで送らせていただければと思います。 私達も自分達に理解を示してくださる方の為に生産していく方がより力が入ります。 是非ぜひ宜しくお願い致します! #Spring #ItalianParsley #OmeFarm #Tokyo #communitysupportedagricuture #OrganicFarm #agriculture #heirloomseeds #seeds #omefarmkitchen #organicfood #organicvegetables #beekeeping #organicflowers #honey #Rawhoney #rooftopbeekeeping #compost #soil #regenerativeagriculture #循環型農業 #無農薬無化学肥料 #無農薬栽培 #植物性発酵堆肥 #養蜂 #非加熱ハチミツ #イタリアンパセリ #CSAメンバー (Ome Farm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqIYI0zvyLT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
