Cover crops slow the velocity of runoff from rainfall and snowmelt, reducing topsoil loss due to erosion. Over time a cover crop regimen will increase soil organic matter, leading to improvements in soil structure, stability, moisture, and overall health. Healthy soil sequesters more carbon from the atmosphere back into the ground, reversing climate change. As always, it is important to acknowledge regenerative agriculture practices like cover crops are rooted in Indigenous food production systems that predate colonization. #covercrops #regenerativeagriculture #notill #farming #indigenousagriculture
