If you're having trouble with your soil being of low quality, then you'll need to get some chickens. After you get your chickens they will need something to eat. But what? The first thing they'll go for is the pests that are lowering the quality of your soil. While getting these pests, they will be tilling the soil. After all the bugs they've eaten they're going to have to poop! Their poop will help give nutrients to the soil, creating good, healthy grass to provide them with more food. After all this food, the birds are all fattened up. What happens after that? It's time for harvest. First the blood will be drained and collected for organic fertilizer. Every part of the chicken will be used; bones for stock, meat for food, and feathers for compost. Everything is used and getting recycled. This is exactly what regenerative agriculture is.

Regenerative agriculture is a conversation and rehabilitation approach to food and farming systems. It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving the water cycle. For instance at White Oak Pastures we saw how their way of the production of animals and animal products were used to better not only the land quality but help the water cycle and preserve the land.
