<p>When you decide to uplevel your eating habits, going organic is a great first step—and it’s much easier than it used to be. Organic produce is readily available in many local grocery stores and at the many farmers markets held across the country. But if you want to do even more to support better farming practices and your health, start going beyond organic by seeking out products that have the regenerative value. Regenerative farming practices (including Biodynamic) are designed to support the land in more holistic ways, and we’re delving into what it means for a product to be grown using these methods. Alongside other brands offering regenerative products, Thrive Market Goods is also launching its own lineup of pantry staples. Let’s take a closer look at what sets these products apart.</p>
<h2>What Is Regenerative Agriculture?</h2>

<p>Regenerative agriculture is an approach that protects and enhances our natural resources. This holistic method of caring for animals and the land draws on decades of scientific and applied research, surpassing even organic practices. Regenerative agriculture views the land as one self-sustaining, living organism. Here are some highlights of regenerative farming:</p><ul><br>

<li>Rejects pesticides, herbicides, and artificial fertilizers</li>
<li>Increases biodiversity </li>
<li>Enriches soil </li>
<li>Improves water cycles</li>
<li>Works to reverse climate change </li></ul>
<h2>Benefits of Regenerative Farming</h2>

<p>One of the biggest benefits of regenerative farming is sequestering CO₂ in the soil and our forests. <a href="https://regenerationinternational.org/why-regenerative-agriculture/"target="_blank">Regenerative International</a> calls regenerative agriculture one of the best kept secrets in the fight against global warming. “The solution to the climate crisis (as well as poverty and deteriorating public health) lies right under our feet, and at the end of our knives and forks."</p>
<h2>Tips for Shopping for Regenerative Products</h2>

<p>There are a few things to keep in mind if you’re starting to incorporate regenerative products into your life. To ensure the product is produced using regenerative agricultural practices look for the Regenerative Organic Certification seal (launching in 2020). It features the letters “R” and “O,” with a plant growing in between. You can also research favorite brands (like the ones below) to read up on whether they offer regenerative products. Shop on ThriveMarket.com to see our full selection. </p>
