Plants in Regenerative Agriculture
Explore 814 plants mentioned in our knowledge base, organized by their economic role in regenerative systems. Each plant receives uniform treatment with regenerative agriculture context, knowledge base insights, and economics where applicable.
Browse by Economic Category
Perennial Tree Crops / Agroforestry
Long-term tree and shrub systems integrated into diverse regenerative systems. Per-tree economics reflect low-density integration (silvopasture, food forests, alley cropping), not monoculture orchards.
Soil Building Cover Crops
Non-cash crops grown to improve soil health, fix nitrogen, suppress weeds, and build organic matter. Investment in future productivity.
Vegetable & Specialty Cash Crops
High-value horticultural crops for direct market, wholesale, or processing. Labor-intensive but potentially high returns per acre.
Cash Forage or Grazing
Perennial and annual forages grown for livestock feed, either grazed or harvested for hay/silage.
Cash Grain Cereals
Annual grain crops grown for direct sale or on-farm feed production.

Rich Soil
High organic matter (>6%) and fertility
Rocky Soil
Shallow soils with limited depth due to rocks or bedrock
Saline Soil
Salt-affected soils with reduced plant options
Sandy Soil
