The regenerative agriculture approach at AyurBhuvi aims to restore and enhance the health of ecosystems, improve soil fertility, and promote sustainable farming practices. Over the years, through sustainable practices, we have integrated regenerative agriculture practices with organic dairy farming (with local, native breeds) and the cultivation of medicinal plants. By adopting regenerative principles, we have created a synergistic system that benefits the environment, improves the quality of dairy products, and promotes the sustainable production of medicinal plants. This project proposes the integration of regenerative agriculture practices with organic dairy farming and the cultivation of medicinal plants.

​

Following are the key elements of our Regenerative Agriculture Practices. 

​

​Conservation and Restoration: We implemented conservation measures such as habitat restoration, ex situ cultivation, and establishment of protected areas to conserve and restore the populations of endangered and threatened medicinal plant species.

​

1. Sustainable Harvesting Practices: Develop guidelines and protocols for sustainable harvesting, processing, and storage of medicinal plants, ensuring that the collection methods are environmentally friendly and do not harm the long-term survival of the species.

2. Community Engagement: Collaborate with local communities, traditional healers, and Ayurvedic practitioners to raise awareness about the importance of medicinal plant conservation and sustainable utilization. Encourage the cultivation of medicinal plants by providing training, resources, and incentives to local farmers.

3. Research and Development: Conduct scientific research to explore the medicinal properties, chemical composition, and therapeutic potential of the identified plant species. This information can be used to develop new Ayurvedic products and formulations.

4. Capacity Building: Organize workshops, training programs, and skill development sessions for local communities, farmers, and stakeholders involved in the medicinal plant sector. This will enhance their knowledge and understanding of sustainable practices, cultivation techniques, and value addition.

5. Market Linkages: Facilitate market linkages between the local communities and Ayurvedic product manufacturers, ensuring fair trade practices and equitable benefit sharing. Promote the use of sustainably sourced raw materials in Ayurvedic products.

6. Policy Advocacy: Advocate for the integration of medicinal plant conservation and sustainable utilization principles into relevant policies and regulations at the regional and national levels. Collaborate with governmental and non-governmental organizations to ensure the implementation of effective legal frameworks.

7. Monitoring and Evaluation: Regularly monitor the status of medicinal plant populations, assess the effectiveness of conservation measures, and evaluate the socio-economic impact of the project on local communities.

8. Knowledge Sharing: Disseminate project findings, best practices, and success stories through publications, workshops, conferences, and online platforms to contribute to the broader knowledge base on medicinal plant biodiversity conservation and sustainable utilization.
