Regenerative methods can also be well adapted to different local conditions in conventional agriculture. These include the use of different plant varieties and cover crops, agroforestry and so-called rotational grazing, where cattle, sheep and goats only graze for certain periods of time to give the pasture plants and soil time to recover. Healthy soils help to restore the natural carbon cycle and increase the soil's ability to sequester carbon and thus combat climate change.
