After J.I. Rodale died in 1971, his son Robert Rodale expanded his father's agriculture and health-related pursuits with the purchase of a farm east of Kutztown, Pennsylvania. At the Kutztown site, Rodale and his wife Ardath established what is now known as The Rodale Institute to begin an era of regenerative, organic farm-scale research.
The Whatley Diversified Plan for Small Farms, which he adopted as regenerative agriculture (a method of sustainable agriculture) from his association with Robert Rodale, the Rodale Institute and New Farm, involves four core components: Creating a biodiversified PYO (pick-your-own or U-Pick) farm between 10 and 200 acres (0.81 km 2);
The most fundamental of those arguments goes like this: In a world where hungry humans are poisoning the planet, regenerative farming just might be the thing that saves us. And throughout ...
Soil. Soil regeneration, as a particular form of ecological regeneration within the field of restoration ecology, is creating new soil and rejuvenating soil health by: minimizing the loss of topsoil, retaining more carbon than is depleted, boosting biodiversity, and maintaining proper water and nutrient cycling.
