Regenerative agriculture practices and multidimensional poverty in eastern rural India.

ABSTRACT: Rural households in developing countries face multidimensional poverty (MDP), i.e., deprivations beyond income, including health, education, empowerment, and living standards, while they are also being highly vulnerable to climatic risks. Regenerative agriculture (RA), a set of practices aimed at restoring soil health, enhancing biodiversity, and improving long-term farm resilience, has emerged as a promising strategy to boost productivity, diversify incomes, and promote sustainability. However, little is known about the impact of RA practices on MDP, and empirical evidence linking the two remains scarce. To this end, the present study examines the relationship between RA practices, such as crop rotation, agroforestry and crop diversification, and MDP reduction in eastern rural India. We a
