Rebuilding Soil Health in Aotearoa - Woolworths NZ’s White Paper on Regenerative Agriculture
Added yesterday
The Rebuilding Soil Health in Aotearoa New Zealand white paper by Woolworths New Zealand explores the urgent need to restore soil vitality in intensive vegetable production systems. It highlights how long-term intensive farming practices—such as repeated cultivation, short‑rotation cropping, and heavy nutrient use—have depleted soil organic carbon, compromising soil structure, moisture retention, and nutrient cycling. With climate change compounding challenges like erosion and unpredictable moisture, the report advocates for regenerative agriculture principles—minimising soil disturbance, maintaining living roots, soil cover, and crop diversity—as a science-informed response to rebuild resilient soils and support sustainable food systems in Aotearoa.
