Food for thought. Regenerative agriculture is being used by a small number of innovative farmers in Australia and elsewhere, using a range of holistic methods that work with the land and climate, such as short duration time of controlled grazing with long rest periods for the paddock and higher proportions of aboveground biomass, to improve soil health and farm profitability. The paper below uses a delta life cycle assessment, focusing only on the differences between regenerative and conventional production systems, to assess the potential impact of regenerative agriculture on a full range of midpoint impact categories and end‐point areas of protection for an extensive sheep system in Australia. https://setac.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ieam.4238 Colley, T.
