Madhya Pradesh Launches 1st Center of Excellence for Regenerative Agriculture in Sehore

The CoE functions as a demonstration and training facility for the most recent agricultural development technologies. It assists firms in focusing and aligning their present resources and knowledge around a specific competency in order to achieve and sustain world-class performance and value.

Farmers will receive free regenerative agriculture training from the Solidaridad organization. Sarpanchs from 125 village panchayats pledged to achieve sustainable development goals through regenerative farming, biodiversity in agriculture, livestock promotion, water conservation, and soil carbon conservation and promotion, according to organisation officials at a press conference in Bhopal on Thursday.

Regenerative agriculture is an extension of traditional agriculture that uses less water and other inputs while preventing land degradation and deforestation. 

It safeguards and improves soil, biodiversity, climate resilience, and water resources while increasing agricultural productivity and profitability.

Nico Roozen, the organization's founder who arrived from the Netherlands, launched the centre. Along with training farmers on regenerative agriculture through demo plots, the centre will be developed as a source of agricultural research-based knowledge.

Regenerative agriculture is founded on agricultural practices whose major goal is to regenerate soils, or enhance their organic content in order to improve fertility. This strategy conserves and replenishes soil organic matter by safeguarding micro and macro-organism habitats.
