WHAT IS REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE?

Regenerative Agriculture is a method of growing food that heals the ecosystem as you do it. Most farming practices are extractive - yes, even your local organic veggie farm! They import fertility, grow crops, then strip all plant matter out leaving the land depleted. The industrial model…? Even worse. Manure lagoons, chemical pesticides, slaughter houses - create waste streams nature cannot metabolize. The results are devastating on a massive scale - top soil destroyed, water poisoned, and a health crisis of chronic disease that tops all developed countries.

Regenerative practices work with nature’s cycles, taking manure off the concrete slab and putting it back onto the pasture. Animals are rotated, distributing manure properly, which explodes soil fertility. As the soil gets healthier, the forage gets healthier, as the forage gets healthier, the animals get healthier and as the animals get healthier, the humans get healthier. The land supports more animals, so now the business gets healthier. With every unit produced the entire system improves. This is the promise of Regenerative Agriculture…. a win, win, win, that taps into nature’s virtuous cycles… a return to her inherent abundance.

We should demand nothing less from our food system. Visit your local farm and see if their practices are Regenerative. If so, buy all your food from them and never look back. Our world needs you!
