Abstract
The article presents a systematic analysis of the theoretical and scientific foundations of regenerative agriculture, the evolution of its development, and international experience. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the integrated application of practices such as no-till and minimum tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation, organic farming, regenerative livestock production, managed grazing, and agroforestry contributes to restoring soil organic matter, conserving biodiversity, optimizing resource and production costs, and enhancing the resilience of agroecosystems. Based on international experience, regenerative agriculture is substantiated as an integrated environmental and economic model for sustainable development of the agricultural sector.
