In the Caribbean, the interconnectedness between soil quality, climate change and agriculture is viewed through a narrow lens. A major objective of regenerative agriculture is to convert economically viable and oftentimes degraded land into a socially and environmentally responsible resource. There is great potential for optimization of soil carbon levels in Guyana, especially given that total forest coverage extends beyond 18,570,000 hectares. The number of regenerative agriculture projects in the Caribbean is slowly increasing. Durga’s Den in Jamaica works in partnership with the hotel industry, using regenerative agriculture techniques, reforestation and offering training in these practices.
