Farmers understand their soil's limitations and tailor their cropping systems for sustainable soil management.
rowed from chemistry and widely applied in soil
science-it is what we call today, resiliency.
So, we have a grasp of sustainability, but what
does buffering capacity or resiliency mean? This
term is also defined in many ways depending
upon who you ask. In agricultural production,
resiliency is the ability to absorb or be buffered
from short-term extremes in weather, or
longer-term changes in weather patterns and
extreme events. The ability to quickly rebound
from extremes should also be implicit in this
definition. These terms should consider both
crop production and farm-level economic considerations
as well. If crop production is sustainable
and resilient, but results in economic
distress and failure, the production system is
neither sustainable nor resilient. In today's world
the concepts of resiliency and sustainability must
also be viewed in the face of an increasing global
population that will require a more intensified
food production system that increases output on
existing agricultural lands.
Another term that you will hear in discussions
of resiliency and sustainability is regenerative agriculture.
However, it is not so easily defined. But,
as the name implies the aim of regenerative agriculture
is to regenerate the agriculture ecosystem
from a degraded state rather than simply sustain
its current condition. The idea behind regenerative
agricultural systems is to promote a holistic
approach to improve soil health and landscape
biodiversity using multiple conservation practices.
Some go so far as to suggest that " artificial "
fertilizers should be replaced with conservation-based
practices, manure, and compost to
improve soil fertility .
