Abstract
Soaring global demand for food has led to the intensification and misuse of agrochemicals in crop production with adverse impacts on human as well as environmental health. The regenerative agriculture and agro-ecological approaches can provide sustainable solutions for this overreliance on agro-chemical inputs in crop production. The goal of this farmer participatory research was to contribute to the knowledge base that would guide key processes of reducing use of harmful agrochemical inputs and safeguard the health of the vegetable producers and consumers, soils, and the environment.
