About Eva’s Farm
Eva Regenerative Agriculture Farm is one of the few farms in Hong Kong that partakes in regenerative agriculture. Under the technique's influence, crops have grown stronger, vegetables are fragrant and pests have disappeared.
Regenerative agriculture or regenerative agriculture is a specific sub-item under the organic farming law. Its operation is similar to that of general organic agriculture. Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are not allowed, but special attention is paid to the health of the soil and the recovery of unhealthy soil.
Regenerative agriculture emphasizes maintaining high levels of soil organic matter, minimizing plowing, increasing biodiversity, crop rotation, cover crops, green manure, compost, soil covering, etc. The current organic farming method, especially focusing on commercial producers, may not have completed the operations of the aforementioned points. The purpose of regenerative agriculture is to sequester carbon in the soil and above-ground biomass to reverse the global accumulation of atmospheric carbon, while at the same time increasing production, enhancing resilience to unstable climates, and improving the health and vitality of rural communities.
Regenerative Farming Law includes four principles:
1. Continuously improve the entire agricultural ecosystem, including soil, water, and biodiversity;
2. Set specific operations and overall decisions for specific environments to show the elements of individual farms;
3. Ensure and develop a fair and interactive relationship among all stakeholders;
4. Individuals, farms, and communities must continue to grow and evolve in order to realize their inherent potential.
From these four principles, especially the first principle, a variety of operation methods are derived. Regenerative agriculture continuously improves the entire agricultural ecosystem, such as organic annual cultivation, perennial crops, no-tillage farming, aquaculture, holistic management grazing, integrated animal production, pasture cultivation, forestry， and animal husbandry production, agriculture and forestry production, bio-carbon, composting Liquid, compost, etc. It may also need to integrate various operations in accordance with other principles in the future. Regenerative agriculture hopes to continue to change the trend of climate change so that the earth can be regenerated.
