We have a problem.
Generations of mindless consuming has resulted in land abuse and crop excess. To meet the demands of a world needing everything money can buy (regardless of waste, repercussion and mismanagement) our soil, our crops, and our meat has failed us.
What's the solution?
Regenerative agriculture.
Regenerative Agriculture goes back to working with rather than against natural systems; grazing animals in ways that mimic plains game on grasslands, using old methods of crop farming, from before the time of chemicals, when the sun was the only source of energy, monoculture didn't exist and the?carbon?and water cycles were still intact. Regenerative Agriculture is about farm management that works with nature rather than against nature, forming?carbon?loops rather than a series of?carbon?emissions that take?carbon?from the?soil?into the sky.?This rebuilds the?soil, stimulating the microbiology and fixing the water cycle.?All of which maximises the photosynthetic potential of that?soil?capturing more?carbon?and cooling the planet.
Recently I've been privileged to spend time digging deep with farming heroes such as Farmer Angus and Joel Salatin. My take away from these podcast interviews and solution focused planning?
There is hope.
We are all farmers by proxy, how?
- You are in control of your choices; the food you buy, and?
- We are all able to have our own permaculture patch
You can make today’s decisions to create your own tomorrow.?
