Among other things, the loss of soil fertility and the soil itself, degradation of our water and loss of biodiversity threaten our planet and, therefore, all living things. We embrace the concepts of regenerative farming as it strives to improve the farming environment through practices that:

1. Minimise disturbance: Reducing or eliminating tillage and chemical inputs lets the soil ecosystem do what it does naturally. Less interference means healthier, more resilient land over time.
2. Establish a living root system: Plants are quietly doing extraordinary work beneath the surface. Through photosynthesis, they feed the microbes living in the soil, creating a thriving underground community that keeps the land alive and productive.
3. Provide soil armour: Bare soil is vulnerable soil. Keeping the ground covered protects it from erosion, locking in nutrients and preventing precious topsoil from washing away with every rainfall.
4. Integrate animals: Livestock aren't just part of the landscape, they're active contributors to it. Through grazing, fertilising, and aerating the soil, animals play a vital role in restoring and maintaining the land's natural balance.
5. Enhance biodiversity: A healthy planet is a diverse one. Supporting the full web of plants, animals, insects and microbes isn't just good farming practice, it's essential for the survival of everything that depends on this earth.

By working with these principles and striving to achieve these outcomes, the planet will be able to care for all living things that it supports. At Untouched World, we are committed to supporting regenerative farming practices through our fibre sourcing.
