The norm in the 21st century is for agriculture, typically agroindustrial farming, to be degenerative to it's environment and to rely on depleting natural resources such as energy, soil fertility and biodiversity. Restorative Agriculture, in contrast, is any agricultural system that results in the increase of soil fertility, biodiversity and either minimizes non-renewable energy usage or results in a net production of energy (that is to say - captures energy from the sun).
