Abstract
Regenerative agriculture is a comprehensive and sustainable approach to addressing contemporary agricultural challenges, particularly in semi-arid and arid regions like Iraq. These areas face numerous obstacles, emblematic of the wider Global South. This study is grounded in sustainability theory, systems thinking, and adaptive methodologies, aiming to enhance environmental health, economic viability, and social equity. The investigation is structured as a blueprint with two main sections: first, diagnosing the problems in agriculture and their consequences, and second, presenting holistic solutions under the framework of regenerative agriculture. Key issues include the legacy of post-colonialism, neo-imperialism, urbanization, climate change, political instability, and water scarcity, which collectively undermine rural development and economic diversity. The study advocates for regenerative agriculture to foster resilience and sustainability, revitalizing local knowledge and practices. It emphasizes cost-effective techniques, requiring minimal input and aimed at ensuring profitability, creating an adaptable blueprint for sustainable rural development in arid regions globally.
Abstract (croatian)
Regenerativna poljoprivreda je sveobuhvatan i održiv pristup suočavanju sa suvremenim izazovima u poljoprivredi, posebno u polusušnim i sušnim područjima poput Iraka. Ova područja suočavaju se s brojnim preprekama koje su karakteristične za širi Globalni Jug. Ova studija temelji se na teoriji održivosti, sistemskom razmišljanju i adaptivnim metodologijama, s ciljem poboljšanja zdravlja okoliša, ekonomske održivosti i društvene pravednosti. Istraživanje je strukturirano kao plan s dva glavna dijela: prvo, dijagnoza problema u poljoprivredi i njihovih posljedica, a drugo, predstavljanje holističkih rješenja u okviru regenerativne poljoprivrede. Ključni problemi uključuju naslijeđe postkolonijalizma, neoimperijalizma, urbanizaciju, klimatske promjene, političku nestabilnost i nedostatak vode, koji zajedno ugrožavaju ruralni razvoj i ekonomsku raznolikost. Studija zagovara regenerativnu poljoprivredu kako bi se potaknula otpornost i održivost te obnovilo lokalno znanje i prakse. Naglašava se primjena isplativih tehnika koje zahtijevaju minimalna početna ulaganja, s ciljem osiguravanja profitabilnosti, stvarajući prilagodljiv plan za održivi ruralni razvoj u sušnim regijama širom svijeta.
