Regenerative agriculture is based on various agricultural and ecological practices, with a particular emphasis on minimal soil disturbance and the practice of composting.[8] Maynard Murray had similar ideas, using sea minerals.[9][10] Her work led to innovations in no-till practices, such as slash and mulch in tropical regions.[11][12][13] Sheet mulching is a regenerative agriculture practice that smothers weeds and adds nutrients to the soil below.[14][15]
