What Is Regenerative Agriculture? And Why It Matters for What You Eat in Hong Kong

Somewhere between farm and fork, the conversation about sustainable food shifted. For decades, the best label a food product could carry was "organic" — a signal that no synthetic pesticides or fertilisers were used in production. Organic is better than conventional. But a growing body of farmers, scientists, and chefs now argue that "doing less harm" isn't enough. What the food system actually needs is active repair.

That's the premise of regenerative agriculture: not just protecting soil, but rebuilding it.
