Due to the rapid rate of soil loss, fossil energy dependence and climate change gases associated with industrial agriculture, the current model cannot provide sustainable food or energy in the future. It is imperative that international agricultural and energy policies be coordinated so that a transition to new regenerative systems can be achieved. Biofuels can play a key role in this transition by increasing long-term prices of all commodities, thereby creating the opportunity for farmers to invest in regenerative practices. Such a policy must be implemented simultaneously with national and international investments in research, extension and infrastructure of regenerative agriculture.
