Why It's Important?
The ROO Field Days underscore the growing momentum behind regenerative agriculture, which aims to improve soil health, reduce inputs, and enhance farm resilience. By fostering collaboration among farmers, food brands, and environmental advocates, the event promotes practices that contribute to a sustainable and resilient food system.
