SOLUTIONS & CONCLUSIONS

Global Solutions

1. Crop Rotation & Diversification

• Rotating crops helps restore nutrients and reduce pests naturally.

• Practiced in parts of Europe and increasingly in African regenerative farming models.

2. Agroecology & Polyculture

• Farming systems that mimic natural ecosystems by growing multiple crops together.

• Emphasized by FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) as a sustainable model.

3. Regenerative Agriculture

• Focuses on soil health, carbon sequestration, and ecosystem restoration.

• Gaining traction in Australia, the U.S., and across Latin America.

4. Policy Shifts

• EU’s CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) now rewards eco-friendly practices.

• U.S. is seeing pilot programs and grants for crop diversification and carbon farming.

Individual-Level Actions

• Support local, diverse farms via farmers' markets or CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture).

• Reduce consumption of monoculture-dependent products (e.g., ultra-processed foods, factory-farmed meat).

• Advocate for policy change: Support regenerative or organic farming initiatives.

• Educate & spread awareness about the long-term costs of monocultures.
