REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE - THE WAY TO REGENERATE POST WAR UKRAINE
A two day conference in hybrid online/offline format 9-10 June 2023, Lviv, Ukraine
This conference is the beginning of a journey to build a vision for sustainable and regenerative agriculture in Ukraine as part of a post war recovery. It will be a unique combination of farmers and scientists from within Ukraine, expert speakers in the field of regenerative agriculture from around the world, and active citizens who are looking for new models of agriculture. Please come prepared to participate.
The conference will offer examples of commercially successful models from world experts, and will focus on finding relevant solutions for Ukraine in its current war situation, and also into a post war period of reconstruction.
Regenerative agriculture is now being adopted widely across the world in arable, livestock and horticultural contexts addressing the issue of commercial viability of farming without expensive inputs. Regenerative agriculture also reduces the impacts and causes of climate change through the development of soils that sequester carbon from the atmosphere, functioning water cycles and rebuilding natural systems and biodiversity.
The conference will focus on how we can heal the land, feed people, restore soils and provide jobs for family farms.

• Explore the world’s latest regenerative agriculture and eco-engineering approaches as practical cases
