An important article was just published that shows regenerative practices increase carbon sequestration in soil. It was a literature analysis and essentially a review paper, but it indicates that regeneration practices, especially in woody agricultural projects like vineyards and orchards, can increase carbon sequestration.
"Applying animal integration, non-chemical pest management, diverse cover crops, agroforestry, non-chemical fertilizer, and redesigning the system at the landscape level can all contribute to this species richness. Research is also emerging on the greater resilience to climate change of perennial plant communities with high species diversity, due to the greater probability of including species with traits adapted to climate change.
This finding is particularly relevant for viticulture, which has been identified as a potential carbon sink, and indicates the importance of adopting regenerative practices to enhance carbon uptake."
