Contextualised approach
Contextualised approach
The 2030 Social Development Goals have given international exposure to the need for secure, grounded food networks. SAI’s Research paper for FERTASA defined the context-based approach to farming known as ‘regenerative agriculture’ as ‘an outcomes-based approach that protects and improves soil health, biodiversity, climate and water resources while supporting farming business development’. In order to be able to claim that regenerative farming is being done on a farm, a farmer must identify at least 2 impact focus areas for improved outcomes within their specific context. This adds new risk assessment, monitoring and reporting criteria to the planning and execution of the best existing, potentially modified farming practices. The process can be summarised as follows:
Risk assessment as part of the crop planning process;
Identification of desirable outcomes in relation to universal metrics;
Principles and practices for improved performance; and
Monitoring and assessment of progress.
