Regenerative Agriculture

Rethinking our farming model with regenerative agriculture, or how to reconcile economic development and preserve resources

At a time when a quarter of the world's greenhouse gas emissions are caused by conventional agriculture, we urgently need to rethink our production methods. Regenerative agriculture offers constructive solutions. It is based on various agronomic practices inspired by organic farming, agroecology, and permaculture. Above all, it aims to ensure the long-term resilience and stability of the ecosystem by producing net positive impacts. Its priority is always to restore the quality of agricultural soils. Indeed, introducing more life and biodiversity into the dirt encourages the development of organic matter - making them more prosperous, more fertile, and naturally sequestering more carbon. Healthy soil will also impact water and air quality... and the whole ecosystem will become more stable in the long term and more resilient to climatic hazards.

Vitiforestry at the Ruinart Champagne House to regenerate ecosystems

Vitiforestry at the Ruinart Champagne House to regenerate ecosystems

Accompanied by Reforest'Action, the Ruinart Champagne House has been deploying a pilot project since 2020 in its Taissy vineyard, north of the Montagne de Reims, in the Marne region. A great plot of almost 40 hectares near the Montbré forest was considered an ideal setting. A rare unit area in the Champagne region, it has become a place for experimenting with vitiforestry - applying agroforestry techniques to the vine. Planting trees in the middle or around the plots, cultivating in layers, or developing assisted natural regeneration: there exist various agricultural practices. These techniques can regenerate the soil, preserve water, sequester carbon, and safeguard biodiversity. Multiple stakeholders are also involved in the territory.

An urgent need for funding to restore and preserve forest ecosystems

At the current rate and funding, it will only be possible to intervene in 8 to 12% of the metropolitan area of forests by 2050. The French High Council for the Climate is thus sounding the alarm in its 2022 annual report entitled "Overcome the findings, implement the solutions," while he also draws up a severe inventory of the impacts of climate change in France. We must therefore act quickly in France as well as in the world - as also underlined by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in its "2022 Annual Report".
