Restoring and regenerating degraded soils refers to intentional actions that transform degraded soils into healthy, functional, resilient, and biologically active systems. It addresses physical, chemical, and biological degradation through regenerative remediation, restoration, and sustainable land management practices. Typical approaches include phytoremediation, bioremediation, organic amendments, regenerative agriculture, agroforestry, peatland restoration, and de-sealing. By improving soil structure, increasing organic matter, enhancing biodiversity, and stimulating biological activity, soil regeneration restores essential functions such as nutrient cycling, water regulation, carbon sequestration, and biomass production.
