Regenerative Agriculture

At Nude Foods, one of our sourcing principles is that we get products (produce / meat) from Regenerative Farms that we have visited ourselves. We also give 1% to support farms transitioning to Regenerative Farming.

Let us explain why this is important:

Here’s the problem; since the early 1900’s humans have been engaging in farming practices that aren’t exactly nice to our farm lands. We’ve tilled the land, planted the same crop on the same land year after year and sprayed countless tonnes of chemical fertilizer and pesticides to keep everything alive. UGH.

These practices have caused our soils to degrade significantly resulting in BIG problems like:

Loss of productivity on the land
Production of less nutritious food
Pollution of nearby waterways
Release of CO2 in the atmosphere

In fact, 10-20% of the CO2 humans have released into the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution has been from our soils! 
WHAAAAAT?!

Regenerative Agriculture not only STOPS,
but reverses this cycle of soil degradation.

How? By:

No or low tilling
Planting cover crops and rotating crops
Applying compost and animal manure
Properly grazing animals.

Which:

Captures and stores CO2 so in the end can reverse global warming!!!
Improves soil for better crop yields and water retention
Creates new soil, plant, insect and microbial diversity
Makes the land more resilient to extreme weather and increases  its ability to sequester carbon dioxide

Why is this important to Nude Foods Market?

We want to have a positive impact on the environment beyond just reducing packaging. Regenerative Agriculture might be the best way to fight climate change and sustain the production of healthy food forever. You can opt out at checkout by using coupon code ‘nothanks’ and it will remove the 1%.
