Wonderful!

We are all in a process of transformation, i changed 42 years ago , when i shifted to vegan core beliefs, realised we need a new way of cooperation with all nature, no harm , going beyound farming with a slaughter house there. So really thats where organics can go, eg biocyclic vegan agriculture thats growing in Europe.

You guys are beautiful,the universe smiles on you

I actively vote by buying my meat locally from farmers who care about their animals. My diet is 90% red meat. I've lost fat, blood sugar and cholesterol is now great (according to my NP), and I'm mentally sharper than I was 10 years ago.

You DO need to tell your story as loud and as wide as possible. The story is inspiring and motivates people to support these small farmers. How are people going to taste their food and know it is organic and sustainable until they know they even exist. We actually need this story.

🌱 GMO 🌽This was very troubling to me: "AP News "US wins ruling in a trade dispute with Mexico over it's bid tio ban genetically modified corn." .... for human consumption from US Export North American free Trade Agreement. ...So I guess they can't nullify that contract.... They did not want it for human consumption... US said there is no science that it's detrimental. What has happened to us? How do we change this?

Rich rolls thank you so much for sharing this on your platform. There is so much potential for regenerative agriculture: from how accessible it is for a massive amount of the population to participate in as well as the ongoing effects it has on the environment the earths health and humans. Pure food pure medicine good jobs & a health ecosystem. Love to hear more of this

Excellent very informative talk. I hope Africa kicks Gates and his GMO chemical agenda out of the country. There are other solutions besides his profit from famine model. Partnering that bright orange corn with other crops and cover crops and teaching compost making would be just one way forward. Keep the seed open source and heirloom if possible. Countries like India, Africa, Mexico need to keep Gates and his cronies out and strive for self sufficiency through organic, models and permaculture , agro ecological systems.

Grass-root networks of farmers, foodies, and consumers have the real power to change "bad science" and the corporate takeover of food.

Thank you Real Organic Project!

Superb information about the history of organic farming. Thank you very much for doing a such a valuable program

focus on nutrition and the organic part will follow.

Here is an explanation as I underastand it. "One percent of the farmland is certified organic, while 7 percent of the food sold is organic" Farmland produces a whole food like a tomato or an ear of corn. Many of these whole foods become ingredients in manufactured products. Many product only have slight changes that differentiate them from eachother. But none the less they become another SKU and another product to sell. Now yes on the surface one lb of produce should not equal seven lbs of manufactured goods. But I thought the food statistic was for sales value. There is money to be made in manufacturing. Am I understanding these statistics to be sales value? Does this mean that one dollar of mixed plants matter can make seven dollars if they are manufactured into something else?

I hope and pray that in the next four years we can grow by leaps and bounds. The Organic Consumers Association is also a great group.

Shared! I forgot to leave a rave review until now 😄 Thank you! another great conversation, I so appreciate your work.

Lindly, I like your living pathways. I'm curious what you have growing in them.

All the things he said at the begining its about animal agriculture, becouse big amount of corn and soya its destiny to feed animals. Animal exploitation must stop

Great idea, no sales tax on organic!!

Small farms will feed other organisms too

I don't believe humans are causing climate change. I did for years, but I've changed my mind. However, I do think we are horribly polluting and poisening our world. We are losing the biodiversity of our soil and our forests. I believe we should never throw something that can be composted in a landfill. We should be composting all food scraps (that don't go to feed livestock), and recycling paper, metals, plastic, glass, fabric that we can. I hope we can quit using pesticides and harmful chemicals on our fields. I pray we can bring back regenerative, rotational grazing to build healthy soils and give the animals we consume the happiest and most peaceful life before being harvested.

Martin Frick still has a white supremicist imperial mindset you can clearly see this in this interview

@8:32 This exchange is the only part of the interview you need to hear to understand that Mr. Frick is nothing more than a bureaucrat with talking points, but really has no physical “boots on the ground” experience or data to back up what he is saying. Telling people to grow their own food when every adult in a household is working at least one job to live doesn’t work. Implying that they can grow their own calories, impervious to inflation. My God, have you ever grown your own food, sir? To imply no costs are involved, like one can just simply go out, toss out some seed, and there you have it! This guy is completely out of touch.

the profit motive keeps rearing its ugly head as I ponder solutions...local greed, global greed. We must overcome.

Just when I start imagining I've learned from your podcasts as much depth as I can hold, ROP gathetz in yet more deep perspectives on building a more rational food system from yet more in-the-trenches change agents. A treasure trove here for choosing an answer to "what can I do". Deep gratitude for your always thoughtful additions to the podcasts!

RFKJR speaks to this very most important message. Thank you. Iove your channel. LET'S DO THIS!!!

Sustaining a degraded resourse is better than further degradation. However, we need regenerative practices. Regenerative practices will naturally lead to being organic. Know YOUR farmer, unless you grow your own food. If you wish to get farmers to farm regeneratively/organic, farmers must be shown how to transition and farm profitably like Understanding Ag discusses and teaches.

How can we make sure that conventional farmers SEE this film?

It's okay to not speak negatively of anybody, and the danish organic example is great and inspiring, he seems to be full of energy and power. I just hope they do what they can to disarm the danish pharmacy GM lobby, which is on the frontline trying (very succesfully) to erase traditional control over GM varieties in the EU and open the market for them by making laws that let GM goods go on market without distinguishing labeling...

Eliot Coleman is a gem. It makes me so happy just hearing his voice. It gives me hope and reminds me there are still good people alive! God bless him

Excellent!!! Thanks for sharing this so we can share it. Go real organic!!!

Excellent road map to success

There's so much about Scandinavian living that makes sense. I wish we would follow their lead more in Ireland!

So very heart-warming... 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 🌳🕊💚

Thank you!!!

Thank you for this. I’m hoping to start researching the topic of increasing soil OM by addition of “home made” amino acids and local microbes. The idea being: adjust the C:N ratio with a natural N source to allow microbial biomass to increase using more recalcitrant C sources (leaves, maybe even wood)… Cheers

I totally agree with Abby about not demeaning conscious eaters by calling them "consumers!" Back in the 1990's, however, it was organic farmers who decided to stop calling those who used chemicals "chemical" farmers and to use "conventional" instead so that we could keep the door open for dialogue.

I just got off the plane you old fart, 😂😂😂 WOOOOOOOOOhoo

Crazy ass lady😂😂😂

🙏🌱⚘️❤️

Yes, thank you Elliot and Abby!

They bastardize the word 'organic' and bought out the label One man's waste is another man's treasure -- Haslem vs Lockwood 1871 . . . look at your naval and contemplate what happened to that alleged 'waste' at the hospital ???

CONsumer CONventional Both con words ... conception is the most evil (opposite to live) which is an idea = immaculate conception ... a 'belief'. Belief is the enemy of knowing. Knowing is information. 'And you will KNOW the TRUTH and the TRUTH will MAKE you FREE'

I will forever call myself customer, eater and will encourage others to do so as well. Thank you Abby for sharing your wise words. Thank you Eliot for your questions. Learned a lot.

🧑‍🌾👋

Thank you for the video

Such a wonderful interview of two of the organic industry's all time best people!

Amazing journey!! why the empty chairs? BTW CO2 is the gas of life...

Thank you both for what you do!!! It’s so sad to hear that companies lied about spraying basil. And congratulations on creating a resistant variety.

Wow, lying about spraying organic food is just sad. Thank you both for your work!!! congratulations on creating a resistant variety basis. That’s a big deal.
