Regenerative agriculture offers a sustainable pathway to restore soil quality, and improve crop performance by integration of diverse practices i.e. no-tillage, crop diversification, cover crop, agro-forestry and organic amendments. These practices enhance soil structure, water retention, infiltration, nutrient cycling and microbial activity leading to resilient cropping systems with stable yields. Scientific evidences from different land use systems revealed its role in decreasing input dependency, mitigating climate change through C sequestration and strengthening ecosystem services. Thus, it provides a holistic approach for long-term agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability.
