Organic and regenerative are not necessarily the same thing. Organic can still rely on biocides and fertilizer input. Regenerative practices treat the farm, including the soil, as an ecosystem. Killing any part of the ecosystem by applying biocides of any type is antithetical to the practice. Once the ecosystem has been built there is enough biodiversity that pests problems are minimal.
I disagree with you that regenerative farming can't feed the world. Yields are as good or better than conventional farms. Fortunately, regenerative farming is more profitable so we are going to see a shift to regenerative regardless of the naysayers.
I've never said regenerative ag can't scale. Look through my comments, I _strongly_ believe regenerative ag can scale and is needed to solve alot of problems. The parent comment is talking about organic agriculture.
Organic is a legally protected term (in the US). There are certain things you can/cannot do which help constrain it's ability to scale. Regenerative ag is not protected. You assumed something incorrect I'm afraid. I've _very_ pro regenerative ag.
Apologies for the assumption. Whenever these threads pop up one of the biggest issues in discussion that I see is the conflation of definitions for all these different farming practices. To the uninformed organic and regenerative are the same thing. My comment was just an attempt to clarify that regenerative ag the article is talking about and organic farming are not the same thing.
