Getting your head around these terms is tricky at the best of times - I have been in the middle of very lengthy discussions around organic vs regenerative - I can point you to some very good articles explaining the difference. Have been an organic licensee for 12 years - wouldnt have it any other way - the certification is important - keeps you on the straight and narrow whereas there is nothing to stop a regenerative farmer / grower taking a short cut and using glyphosate or pesticide. What's worse Glyphosate vs ploughing/digging - def glyphosate
Thank you for your comment Sally - after speaking at Groundswell this year (first time growing flowers was part of the discussion!), I felt very uncomfortable learning about these issues. It's why I am writing this now.
I totally agree with you - I worry about the gift that regenerative is to the large chemical companies to hide behind.
But either way, when most farmers and gardeners are not organic, I'm keen to explore how much of this practise can be easily developed and transferred from the smallest of spaces to great benefit whilst treading that fine line between green wash and progress. Do send me those articles!
