I am buying a few acres of land and start my life journey in permaculture, I am 26 now so hopefully in a few years I’ll be producing my own food responsibly.
Joel Salatin is an awesome example of permaculture with cows and chickens which are not just “carbon neutral” but actually help nature and the environment because they are living in nature in grass the way they were meant to. Justin Rhodes is great too. Permaculture is every type of food. Done intelligently so that the outputs are the inputs. The soil gets built every year and every decade.
@@WadcaWymiaru You can build soil carbon with it but just by judicious methods you can get similar effect. Using agricultural waste such as rice-hull biochar is to build up depleted carbon stores is great, but I suggest checking out how Mark Shepard has been accomplishing carbon sequestration through planting methods. Pretty amazing stuff.
Very nice! I am from India and here too there are a small band of individuals who are ironically finding news ways of doing agriculture from traditional knowledge systems and even traditions. I remember meeting this one person about 25 miles south of Chennai who stopped tilling the land and instead just spreading seed on it. He felt that by disturbing the soil you loosen the top soil and the wind blows it away. The crop grows, gets harvested and the stalks die where they stand feeding back nutrients to the land. His paddy fields are lush. Anyways, loved your film. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Masanobu Fukuoka made similar "discoveries" (new/old ways) of farming in Japan. His book "One Straw Revolution" came out decades ago. Then there's Permaculture, a global movement, and no-till farming. It seems in every particular region these ways are waiting to be rediscovered.
The logic is simple to understand. There is a certain amount of nutrients in any soil. Every time you grow a crop and ship it, you export nutrients. The soil has been depleted for a century or two, and now we grow food on chemicals and use the poor soil as only a growth medium. This can't produce healthy and nutritious food. No-till cover cropping with ruminating animals is the way forward, by going back to a more natural ecosystem. It's great to see that people are beginning to question the methods of corporate ag and consider the true cost of it.
Actually Agroforesting and Syntropic Farming methods, accomplished here in Brasil and in different countries, go way beyond what we have seen here, but we cant not despise the amazing endeavours we can see in this amazing video. The Nature wellcomes all real, sincere regenerative ways of producing food.
Gold only has real value for electronics and vanity. Soil's real value is perpetual if you don't abuse it. Soil can be more valuable every year if you cherish and nourish it. What an excellent presentation of great people doing great things in everyday life. Thank you all.
Once in a while these kinds of videos make us think that not everything needs to be obscenely profitable to make sense. This should be part of any high school and college syllabus because the only way to reduce depletion of natural resources is to understand their importance. One more thing, transgenic products need to be seen objectivly, separating what are the multinational corporations that run the big business and what are solutions to the world's demand for more foods from vegetable and animal origin.

I have a neighbor farmer who raised buffalo for about a decade but stopped due to aggression. He couldn't get near them and they injured his workers. My guess is you can't do it on just a medium acreage. Buffalo are big freedom-loving mammoths that don't take kindly to fences or being boxed in. Interestingly, when they were in the millions over the prairie, they were responsible for the rich farmland farmers found as they moved west because not only did they not crop prairie grass to death, they also plowed the diverse cover crop into the ground with their wide swathe otampeding. In the pummeled soil still rich in microbiotic life, organic and inorganic nutrients, the buffalo made composted soil open to new seed on the wind. You can see she gives them wide berth on horseback, while they watch her flank the herd. Buffalo ... no bovine for sissies. :D
Fantastic reminder that it's not always new technology that brings the future, but re-visiting the "old ways" which can be feasible in the new era. Also this reminds me how important it is to know how our food is made, where it comes from.
Soil is one of the most important things because that is where our food comes from. We all need to eat. Clean air, clean water, healthy soil, and a good economy. It can be done if we work together! Why not make a better world for us all?
It just brings home how we are not going to get through this climate crisis without learning from ancestral practices, particularly Native American land stewardship, and less invasive farming methods. Diversity, regeneration, bringing back the links between people and the land, it all goes together...
On the same note, there's this documentary about regenerative farming called The Biggest Little Farm if you're interested in this kind of stuff. Just came out June 2019.
That documentary is excellent, nicely filmed and inspirational. I recognize that it's a special approach that takes time and in the case of the farm in that film it was an expensive process over time. Not every farmer can do that, but they can find plenty in the film to apply and to be recharged by, I think.
This is a simply stunning look at the practices that are required to change our climate's future for the better. We encourage everyone to look into Holistic Management and to participate in our training events for farmers and ranchers around the world.
Thanks to the farmers/producers, Yvon, and Patagonia. So hard these days to remain optimistic. The positivity on display is refreshing and inspiring. A grassroots revolution seems like the inevitable and only viable solution. Not once was profitability mentioned as it is a non-issue in the grand scheme of things. But all these projects have been running long term and thus have proven viability.
True, and regenerative agriculture is more profitable than factory farming because they don't have to buy all kinds of equipment to spread chemicals all over the plants or to plow the soil.
How about the commodification of flout. What you buy in the shop has had the germ removed (80% of the nutrients) and the bran (another part) and what you eat is the starchy endosperm. Get your own grinder and grind your own flour as you need it.
Certainly the most important and exciting experiment yet & of-course innately connected to the production of premium quality garments, after all most of the fibres used in clothing production start out in the fields. We have seen this impact directly with our partner regenerative farmer Colin Seis, who's Australian Merino sheep are now producing a higher premium grade wool living in a regenerative system, than they ever had in a conventional/industrial "more-on" system. Great work Patagonia for building a loyal conscious consumer following and for spreading the imperative message of Regenerative agriculture, you have our support!

Love you all so much. Thank you incredibly so for your dedication to regenerative living for us all. Gratitude to Patagonia and the amazing collective partners of Unbroken Ground. So proud to support some of these sustainable regenerative foods at 21 Acres market, both the magic skagit flour and the lummi wild salmon I’m literally eating tonight! SO PROUD to be from here. Brilliant scientists with respect for nature, farmers, fishers, teachers. Thank you for leaving the world better than you found it 🥺♥️
A great film. I'm already on the lummi island wild website. Have been looking at patagonia clothing for months. I'm poor so i have to save utilizing the envelope system. Thank you all for lookimg at indigenous ways of life. Such as the buffalos for land maintenance and food, reef net fishing, and respecting all life really. Hip hip hooray!
Wow. So glad I stumbled across this. It wasn't posted so long ago that it's no longer relevant. It will always be relevant: responsibility and quality.
Very glad to see sustainability as an integral part of farming/ranching. It really is a no-brainer! Profit as the end reaps disastrous results from the means. It would benefit everyone to really question where the food you put in your mouth came from....Something I have done for the past ten years. I have drastically modified my diet from what it was before. I still have much room for improvement. Another thing we all can do is buy higher quality goods that last much longer than the 'cheap stuff'. It really is a savings in the long run and has a positive impact, cumulatively in the long run. Well done video......Thanks for sharing.
Wisconsin Farmer I have read everything he's written. I saw him speak ages ago at univ of mo. He was speaking via the English dept and his subject was propriety. What is moral and what is right? It was very good. This may have been 1980. 🤓
Wes Jackson deserves a Nobel prize for the work the Land Institute has done. Bring on the perennials. I have notilled crops for 30 years but this is just a transition which preserves what you have. Regeneration needs hay, pasture and animals.
Beautiful and earnest effort. The key is how to take these small experiments and make them a reality at the global level. Overcoming greed and avoiding starvation may prove difficult.
Its time, lets take the next 5 years off from industry, build up our food resilience and restore the lands to a point wherewe can sustainably feed the world witha fraction of the current effort.
So so so beautiful finally respecting the natural balance and respecting the cultures that belong on the land! Really really beautiful thank you this is so inspiring for future generations! I really hope to see more of this and for it to come to Europe! Xxxxxx
Thank God he woke up" Indigenous people from their..always know this...restoring not just the soil BUT the indigenous peoples...be good to see more on how they are restoring both,,,👌💜🙏🐎🌈👌
Wow, this is truly moving and eye opening. Thank you Patagonia and to all of the stewards that are working to preserve this precious planet that we’ve been loaned
Support people like this in every way you can unless they cross your religious boundaries. I will be buying Patagonia gear from now on, regardless of cost. I'd rather have 1 product that supports than 10 that tear down. Great movie, thank you for sharing. God bless all those involved in these projects.
Take a bow all involved, your a credit not only to your families, friends and country, but to the land and future of it. We NEED more of you and I salute you. Real hero's doing real things to make a difference. Wow.
Wow Patagonia you keep surprising me, this gives hope and courage to look for even more and more sustainable food sources.. Next video on Food-forests ??
I’m own a no dig permaculture market garden in London, UK 🇬🇧 I’m also vegan 🌱 but I don’t believe going vegan saves the world. Managing land exactly like this with regenerative practices is the way. Re-wild the planet 🌍
@@etoatoummhmm6391 I just did a COWculation (sorry, I saw an opportunity and I took it) and I determined that raising a dairy cow/calf pair on two acres (which means you get the meat from the grown calf, and the milk from the mom) and growing two acres of wheat will on average both bring in about 4.9 million calories, with my calculation placing the cow/calf pair about 75,000 calories above the wheat calculation. But comparing that to the whole 4.9 million doesn’t mean all that much to me. Though, even if I’m wrong, I do still think that there is value in the part that animals play in the environment and farm. Also we should be eating less animal products in general.
No till natural farming had been practiced by Fukuoka, the author of "One Straw Revolution" since 1947. Fukuoka was able to work with nature and be able to live a subsistence life with his family growing rice, Mandarin oranges, vegetables, .. without destroying any naturally grown trees, shrubs, grass, and weeds. He also did not need to get rid of wild lives, critters, ... and any pests. Our ecosystem has a dynamic balance. Nature does its work. No tilling, no fertilizer, no composting, no chemicals, no weeding, minimal human intervention, no insecticide, no pest control, ... He survived with his family happily with 5 acres of land and was able to build 4 inches of new top soil in 30 years. This is the only way humans can coexist with all other life forms in nature. "Regenerative grazing"?? 1 sheep needs 2 acres of grass to survive without bringing in additional organic matter. You need to get rid of all grazing animals and start planting trees to generate sufficient organic matter to build top soil before you grow your vegetables without importing any organic matter into your soil. Your infomercial is truly misinforming and misleading. Start by growing trees, not growing vegetables and grains or raising stupid ruminants.
I’m more than happy to pay just a little bit more for actual sustainably caught fish. I mean, I only eat fish a dozen times a year and I’m sure a great portion of the western world does too. I hope we can achieve this sustainability within my lifetime.
A new crop can be good but just don't go down the Monsanto route. Also everything this is a mining to fix can be fixed by having a mixed crop and not a monoculture. Mixed crops have an increased output (more food) they improve soil quality. Have a look at natural sequence farming. Something starting to blow up here in Aus.
Amazing video, easy to understand, beautiful work and good people. It may pass unnoticed, but as usual, almost everyone blue eyes, light skin... the buffalo was the best part in my eyes. It must be addressed.
Yeah, there was a white colonized disconnect in this doc🙄🤦. Hey we recognize that the buffalo belong here but don't recognize to return the lands stolen to the Natives😓🤦. Nope they gonna appropriate smudging (that was painful to watch) and invite natives to come and dance🤦🤦🤦
Yvone and Patagonia always on point. We do need a revolution, exactly right, and yeah, agriculture is the most important revolution we need to start with.
For anyone who just spent the last little while trying to frantically google the lyrics in the ending song during the credits before actually reading them, the song is called Conversation Two by The Brave Kind.
I am so inspired by this documentary. Tuning in from South Africa we are just beginning to tap into our natural resources, plants and animals for food production and earth regeneration. Almost all of our farming practices, foods and animals come from other parts of the world and it makes it makes it extremely intensive and "against the flow."
One of the nurture farmers in AZ figured out the animals have to be CHASED sometimes there. It has a LOT of tuft from volcanoes. It hardens with rains. Antelope and bison have the hard sharp hooves to break it up but only if they RUN. So predators are an important part of growing the GRASSES that are native there. Of course the predators can be humans on horses :}.
Awesome video! I have been looking for a company whose ideology aligns closely with mine and Patagonia keeps coming up. I may have to start looking for some job openings! haha
No question. Right on. One of the best explanations of regenerative agriculture is in David R Montgomery's book Growing A Revolution. His previous book, Dirt and his sequel, The Hidden Half of Nature finish off the series. And perennial wheat is only one among a whole suit of actions needed.
I’m currently studying sustainable agriculture and environment in university. It would be a dream to work for Patagonia in the future. I’m a loyal Patagonia customer and it would be a pleasure to meet Mr. Chouinard in person.
Thank you! One OC the best videos of all times! I wish millions of people will watch it and understand how vital work you do! Very educational and moving film.
I think cattle can also be used for regenerative grazing. People are just going to have to move the cattle around before they eat the grass down to nothing. That being said, the more people we have raising buffalo the better. It'll really help to bring the species back to greater numbers. Over all it's a wonderful video and it's exciting to see that there are people using these principles to grow food.
as a person who has been buying (and growing)organic food for 40 years ,ifeel the $ spent is the most meaningful way i can "vote"and support the( still much too small % ),Organic Farmers.the inspiring people in this film are heros, i didnt know the names of yet. thank you !
I believe the best way to help our world is to lead the majority of our resources to exclude animals, but this video really gives me hope that we are moving towards a real compromise to preserve the planet.
Love it, love it LOVE IT! Especially the part about our animal friends. If I had the space to raise cows I’d give ‘em seven years of life before any got the axe. Life should respect life, and my animal friends have as much of a soul as I do. Regarding regenerative agriculture - I confess I am just a small time dork in the mountains, but I’ve got carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, watermelons, lettuce, cabbage, spinach etc. growing, and my solution is above-ground mounding. A base soil of my local earth and drainage, and mounded around the plants is top of the line potting soil and compost! When the harvest comes I process the plants and knock the mounds over into the bed again, and it has built me phenomenal soil - especially in my raised beds. Cheers to everyone, keep spreading respect to our animal friends, and let’s get them out of factory farms for good!!
Finally big agriculture is realizing that the future is in regenerative agriculture. If only they had listened to the "crack pots" several decades ago.
no, the future is arranging the atoms into whatever you want to eat; we just want the flesh... what we do is boil the kettle and make a drink everytime, doing the same thing over and over. we need to move on from the primitive techniques from thousands of years ago.
Becoming a parent has changed my view of the world. Seven years and 2 kids later I look at the world, farming, food, politics and co-existence so radically differently. How to do better and be better, be more conscious and make a difference feels new to me. My kids will be better than me, but honestly films like this help and those people in it do so much, and I thank you.

Another thing we all can do is buy higher quality goods that last much longer than the 'cheap stuff'. It really is a savings in the long run and has a positive impact, cumulatively in the long run. Well done video......Thanks for sharing.
Great to see wise 'experiments' mixing First Nations approaches that work with science, a good purpose and committed investment.
Trespassing lol
Need to return the lands back to us Natives.
1:10 awesome synth work. I'm sure no one clicked this video for vintage synth, but glad it's there.
Wendell Berry and friends have been preaching this since the 60s.
Love Wendell berry. So few people to look up to now days, I wish there were thousands more like him.
Wendell Berry sounds like a cool dude. Thanks.
Look up his essays. They are all heart.
Wisconsin Farmer I have read everything he's written. I saw him speak ages ago at univ of mo. He was speaking via the English dept and his subject was propriety. What is moral and what is right? It was very good. This may have been 1980. 🤓
Just beautiful human beings, thank you for making better choices for the future generations!🙏🏾😊
It's amazing how much money they are able to make with their sweatshop labor and still toss a line of BS like this. They've got skreet creds.
Just finding this, and so so glad that I did. Gives me a bit of hope.
Wes Jackson deserves a Nobel prize for the work the Land Institute has done. Bring on the perennials. I have notilled crops for 30 years but this is just a transition which preserves what you have. Regeneration needs hay, pasture and animals.
Beautiful and earnest effort. The key is how to take these small experiments and make them a reality at the global level. Overcoming greed and avoiding starvation may prove difficult.
Regenerative agriculture is a movement that has already spread all over the world. A google and/or TH-cam search will show you how they do it.
Its time, lets take the next 5 years off from industry, build up our food resilience and restore the lands to a point wherewe can sustainably feed the world witha fraction of the current effort.
So happy to have come across your video today. God bless you all. I feel peace, joy, happiness beyond measure and a heart full of hope.
So so so beautiful finally respecting the natural balance and respecting the cultures that belong on the land! Really really beautiful thank you this is so inspiring for future generations! I really hope to see more of this and for it to come to Europe! Xxxxxx
This documentary really deserves oscar
Scientists telling us what, we have deep on our hearts, always known what was right by the planet and what was wrong. About time!!
Thank God he woke up" Indigenous people from their..always know this...restoring not just the soil BUT the indigenous peoples...be good to see more on how they are restoring both,,,👌💜🙏🐎🌈👌
Amazing video and I thank you for returning to the old ways of our people all over the world. RESPECT ❤
Wow, this is truly moving and eye opening. Thank you Patagonia and to all of the stewards that are working to preserve this precious planet that we’ve been loaned
what comes around goes around . We know so little, and are learning so much, how do we open our minds .
you get what you give .
Support people like this in every way you can unless they cross your religious boundaries. I will be buying Patagonia gear from now on, regardless of cost. I'd rather have 1 product that supports than 10 that tear down. Great movie, thank you for sharing. God bless all those involved in these projects.
Wow. Thanks. What a great documentary. Thanks for doing the work you are doing. Blazing the trail for the rest of us.
Take a bow all involved, your a credit not only to your families, friends and country, but to the land and future of it. We NEED more of you and I salute you. Real hero's doing real things to make a difference. Wow.
TOGETHER WE WILL CHANGE THE WAY WE BUY FOOD - YOU ARE VOTING WITH YOUR DOLLAR!
what's wrong with providing everyone with nutritious food for free? charging people for the junk food
@@stephentrueman4843 are you willing to work for free ?
@@Wurzel-jy7oi as opposed to the zero contribution to society most people make at work?
@@stephentrueman4843 Well, if you value your work like that, your work is worthless and I wouldn't hire a worthless individual.
Beautiful! Living as nature, instead of against nature…
Wow Patagonia you keep surprising me, this gives hope and courage to look for even more and more sustainable food sources.. Next video on Food-forests ??
Thankfully one video that shows a non-invasive approach to farming and fishing. Wish this movement becomes more widespread.
As of March 2017 USDA is going to pay farmers to grow organic
Finally
Thank you
June ribaldi I don't believe that will happen. I'm sorry but Monsanto owns the USDA. It's a trick. And that is the hard cold truth.
Beautiful! One small spark is all it takes to set the world on fire - once we reach that tipping point...
"If you want to feed your family healthy food, you gotta ask a lot of questions" damn.
Wow. The effort involved in regenerative farming. That regenerative fishery was next level..
I’m own a no dig permaculture market garden in London, UK 🇬🇧 I’m also vegan 🌱 but I don’t believe going vegan saves the world. Managing land exactly like this with regenerative practices is the way. Re-wild the planet 🌍
Yeah but a vegan diet uses 18 times less land.
Gary bullshit. And where do the inputs come from?
@@etoatoummhmm6391 I just did a COWculation (sorry, I saw an opportunity and I took it) and I determined that raising a dairy cow/calf pair on two acres (which means you get the meat from the grown calf, and the milk from the mom) and growing two acres of wheat will on average both bring in about 4.9 million calories, with my calculation placing the cow/calf pair about 75,000 calories above the wheat calculation. But comparing that to the whole 4.9 million doesn’t mean all that much to me. Though, even if I’m wrong, I do still think that there is value in the part that animals play in the environment and farm. Also we should be eating less animal products in general.
No till natural farming had been practiced by Fukuoka, the author of "One Straw Revolution" since 1947. Fukuoka was able to work with nature and be able to live a subsistence life with his family growing rice, Mandarin oranges, vegetables, .. without destroying any naturally grown trees, shrubs, grass, and weeds. He also did not need to get rid of wild lives, critters, ... and any pests. Our ecosystem has a dynamic balance. Nature does its work. No tilling, no fertilizer, no composting, no chemicals, no weeding, minimal human intervention, no insecticide, no pest control, ... He survived with his family happily with 5 acres of land and was able to build 4 inches of new top soil in 30 years. This is the only way humans can coexist with all other life forms in nature. "Regenerative grazing"?? 1 sheep needs 2 acres of grass to survive without bringing in additional organic matter. You need to get rid of all grazing animals and start planting trees to generate sufficient organic matter to build top soil before you grow your vegetables without importing any organic matter into your soil. Your infomercial is truly misinforming and misleading. Start by growing trees, not growing vegetables and grains or raising stupid ruminants.
I’m more than happy to pay just a little bit more for actual sustainably caught fish. I mean, I only eat fish a dozen times a year and I’m sure a great portion of the western world does too.
I hope we can achieve this sustainability within my lifetime.
A new crop can be good but just don't go down the Monsanto route. Also everything this is a mining to fix can be fixed by having a mixed crop and not a monoculture. Mixed crops have an increased output (more food) they improve soil quality.
Have a look at natural sequence farming. Something starting to blow up here in Aus.
Another ancient technique is restrain. Follow that and you don't need to fish! You can do fine with veggies.
Amazing video, easy to understand, beautiful work and good people. It may pass unnoticed, but as usual, almost everyone blue eyes, light skin... the buffalo was the best part in my eyes.
It must be addressed.
Yeah, there was a white colonized disconnect in this doc🙄🤦. Hey we recognize that the buffalo belong here but don't recognize to return the lands stolen to the Natives😓🤦. Nope they gonna appropriate smudging (that was painful to watch) and invite natives to come and dance🤦🤦🤦
Yvone and Patagonia always on point. We do need a revolution, exactly right, and yeah, agriculture is the most important revolution we need to start with.
A small step in the right direction! Keep on good work.
Beautiful film, beautiful nature and beautiful people. Thank you.
Amazing ...makes me happy to see that there is sacride values in agriculture
Beautiful documentary. Absolutely astounishing
Yes, we do really need to re-evolve.
Eye opening documentary! Thank all these pioneering people.
Thanks for listening
You can use beef cattle , chicken and pigs the same way you just have to move them. There are permaculture farmers doing it.
Gabe Brown is doing great work in this direction.
People like you give me hope for humanity, thank you
For anyone who just spent the last little while trying to frantically google the lyrics in the ending song during the credits before actually reading them, the song is called Conversation Two by The Brave Kind.
I am so inspired by this documentary. Tuning in from South Africa we are just beginning to tap into our natural resources, plants and animals for food production and earth regeneration. Almost all of our farming practices, foods and animals come from other parts of the world and it makes it makes it extremely intensive and "against the flow."
Another though provoking video from Patagonia. Thank you
One of the nurture farmers in AZ figured out the animals have to be CHASED sometimes there. It has a LOT of tuft from volcanoes. It hardens with rains. Antelope and bison have the hard sharp hooves to break it up but only if they RUN. So predators are an important part of growing the GRASSES that are native there. Of course the predators can be humans on horses :}.
Awesome video! I have been looking for a company whose ideology aligns closely with mine and Patagonia keeps coming up. I may have to start looking for some job openings! haha
No question. Right on. One of the best explanations of regenerative agriculture is in David R Montgomery's book Growing A Revolution. His previous book, Dirt and his sequel, The Hidden Half of Nature finish off the series. And perennial wheat is only one among a whole suit of actions needed.
I am falling for the brand Patagonia
saint moses par 2
Anshul Chauhan Same!
I’m falling for the ideology
Agreed these Patagonia Films makes me want to support this brand more.
It's almost like it's all part of their plan
I’m currently studying sustainable agriculture and environment in university. It would be a dream to work for Patagonia in the future. I’m a loyal Patagonia customer and it would be a pleasure to meet Mr. Chouinard in person.
Thank you for making this beautiful documentary
Thank you! One OC the best videos of all times! I wish millions of people will watch it and understand how vital work you do! Very educational and moving film.
This is a masterpiece.
I think cattle can also be used for regenerative grazing. People are just going to have to move the cattle around before they eat the grass down to nothing. That being said, the more people we have raising buffalo the better. It'll really help to bring the species back to greater numbers. Over all it's a wonderful video and it's exciting to see that there are people using these principles to grow food.
Vineyards too! eat, and drink natural. Ag must change!
as a person who has been buying (and growing)organic food for 40 years ,ifeel the $ spent is the most meaningful way i can "vote"and support the( still much too small % ),Organic Farmers.the inspiring people in this film are heros, i didnt know the names of yet. thank you !
I believe the best way to help our world is to lead the majority of our resources to exclude animals, but this video really gives me hope that we are moving towards a real compromise to preserve the planet.
GAVENTURE the planet needs even more animals. green dreamers are missing half the information.
Love it, love it LOVE IT! Especially the part about our animal friends. If I had the space to raise cows I’d give ‘em seven years of life before any got the axe. Life should respect life, and my animal friends have as much of a soul as I do. Regarding regenerative agriculture - I confess I am just a small time dork in the mountains, but I’ve got carrots, potatoes, onions, garlic, watermelons, lettuce, cabbage, spinach etc. growing, and my solution is above-ground mounding. A base soil of my local earth and drainage, and mounded around the plants is top of the line potting soil and compost! When the harvest comes I process the plants and knock the mounds over into the bed again, and it has built me phenomenal soil - especially in my raised beds. Cheers to everyone, keep spreading respect to our animal friends, and let’s get them out of factory farms for good!!
Don’t be afraid to learn something old ;-)
I am no expert but between this and Bill Gates' campaign for agriculture, I am more trusting and supporting of Yvon Chouinard's mission & vision.
Finally big agriculture is realizing that the future is in regenerative agriculture. If only they had listened to the "crack pots" several decades ago.
no, the future is arranging the atoms into whatever you want to eat; we just want the flesh... what we do is boil the kettle and make a drink everytime, doing the same thing over and over.
we need to move on from the primitive techniques from thousands of years ago.
Becoming a parent has changed my view of the world. Seven years and 2 kids later I look at the world, farming, food, politics and co-existence so radically differently. How to do better and be better, be more conscious and make a difference feels new to me. My kids will be better than me, but honestly films like this help and those people in it do so much, and I thank you.
This was an add for a video I was about to watch. I ended up watching this entire short film and not even watching my intended video.
Beautiful! Way to look in your heart and find the answer was there all along.
And that growth
Needs clean Water, Air and Earth
Soil is more Important than Oil.
