Chapter two

This chapter shows that regenerative agriculture is traditional farming mixed with indigenous knowledge that recognizes the natives understanding of land, people, and community. This chapter talks about trying to repair the damage caused in the past, seeking a sustainable path forward. To do this, we must listen to past wisdom. By "honoring" the earth as we can create a future where we work with the earth instead of hurting it.

 In Chapter 2 of Healing Grounds emphasizes "ecocentrism", a view that sees the land not as a commodity to exploit or sell, but as a shared home. This calls for a shift in agricultural practices, urging us to care for the earth with respect and understanding, and to return to it what we take.
