  • The Carbon Series kicks off with Gabe Brown, legendary Rancher from Bismarck, North Dakota. US Energy had the opportunity to visit the Brown Ranch where Gabe supports 17 enterprises on his 5,000 acres. He tells his story of how and why he made the transition to Regenerative Agriculture and why the industry should embrace this model.
    Gabe believes Regenerative Agriculture provides solutions for building capacity and resilience while combating challenges around climate change, desertification, poverty, and food security. Visit www.UnderstandingAg.org to get more information and resources on how and why Regenerative Agriculture is a sustainable solution.
    The Carbon Series will be hosting the Carbon Summit on April 21st-22nd, 2022 at the Morrison Center for the Performing Arts at Boise State University in the heart of the Treasure Valley. Gabe Brown will be leading our team of keynotes at this event.

    Simply put, Gabe is a hero. For him to take the risk and make the committment to transition to regenerative agriculture has helped not only his farm, but the ecosystem around his farm, the customers who eat his products, and countless folks around the country and world who are inspired by his journey and take action. We are humbled he participated in our documentary and hope his story alongside all the other truth we shared reaches far and wide to support this change in farming practices.

      Thank you for the thoughtful comment and all your organizations work advocating for regenerative agriculture. Gabe Brown is a hero. He's got blood, sweat, and tears embedded throughout his career and journey to become a spokesperson for the movement. We've had the privilege of knowing Gabe Ruth...I mean Gabe personally, he is a champion of regenerative Ag.

    Here's a thing: 'But can you feed the world?' is a question most often asked by those who want to push farmers to focus exclusively on increasing yields, and then use those increased yields to drop prices paid for farm products (which somehow, never seem to translate into lower prices for retail consumers...), and to be brutally honest, my response is: when did I volunteer to be responsible for feeding the world? I'm interested in regeneratively growing enough to feed my family, make sure my older neighbours don't go hungry and then sell what's surplus above that to bring in a bit of cash to get what we can't produce ourselves.If I can't do more than that without ruining my land, so be it

Which I applaud him for coming back that 5th year. I wouldn't have made it to the 4th year. That's a lot of loss to just keep springing back from.

    This is very encouraging to hear this. I grow up on a farm. Be it the UK, in 1958-1972 I saw the effects of industrial agriculture move in and change the soil. Now this is moving back, away from this system. But the move has come from a network of small farm projects. We run a network group of organic small holdings and the crops are sold at farmer's markets. Take care.

      @Craig Whitley The solution is to eat plants. No need for animals at all to regenerate the soil. This guy does not say that if everyone ate this way they could not eat nearly the amount people eat now because there is not enough land. only factory farms can produce that amount, but those are terrible in a number of ways. Meat is not environmentally friendly in any way. This way would require more land, when already 77% of the worlds agricultural land goes towards animal agriculture while it produces less calories than the plants. Not to mention water use and deforestation, all of which this guy ignores in his fake solution.

    A few months ago a good farmer friend of mine loaned me his copy of Gabe's book, Dirt to Soil. My first 25 years of life was spent on big ranches/farms and with this personal experience in memory, reading Gabe's book really prompted me to review those memories and imagine how different it would have been had the concept of regenerative farming been known and applied back then. But that was then and now is now and I'm so glad to see the popularity of regenerative farming/gardening getting so much traction and rapidly growing. Now, shifting gears, I need a recommendation. I'm looking for a good picture book (more pictures than text) that shows the concept of regenerative agriculture and how it is applied from the micro to the macro. When videos are not an option, picture books, if done right, can be incredibly efficacious in bypassing a person's barriers to learning and getting the core message delivered. So, if anyone knows of such a book I would really appreciate you pointing me to it. Thank you.

    Gabe, instead of trying to find someone to invest in this idea I have by the influence of these videos I have watched of this regenerative agriculture. How could I get started here in Colorado and work a full time job as well as ranching. My dream ever since I was 12 years old is to own my own ranch. My papa use to tell me stories about him and Ben Johnson Jr the movie star working on the Chapman Ranch in Oklahoma before it got sold. Just those stories alone were inspiring because he would turn cattle around in about 3-4 weeks fatter than any beef out there before taking them to the slaughterhouse. They would bunch the cattle up and also feed them oats corn and molasses on their best green pastures. He also told me that each year those green pastures would get even better. They would spend long nights keeping the cattle bunched up on horseback. I really want to get into this and show that it can be done even here in Colorado where we only get 15 inches of rain a year. Just some ideas because I really want to work with the local restaurants around the Denver metro area. I also am connected to some of them because I work for Denver Beverage and deliver to them. Please anything even if it is just a fraction of a start I will take it.

    Key word is "nutrient dense food"! If food is nutrient dense you feel full faster and eat less. Today's foods are not satisfying so the body says, I have not received all the nourishment keep eating. Leads to obesity!

      One key to the concept you speak of is the hormone leptin, which many have never heard of, and its why we can be fat and yet the brain thinks we are starving to keep our appetite high. The story of the proper functioning of leptin starts with our relationship to sunlight and how hormones define our proper circadian rhythm according to light and dark cycles. According to Dr Jack kruse, we reset our leptin sensitivity by eating nutrient dense breakfasts of fat and protein within 30 minutes of waking at dawn. You eat enough, which can be 50 to 75 g of protein, to feel full and satisfied for at least 6 hours. Then, the 2nd meal,is more of the same, just less. He talks about a 3rd meal, but i think the 6 hrs between 2 meals and 18hrs of intermittent fast works well for me. Eventually, you can gradually add in a few carbs as you notice the changes. I lost 50 lbs in 3 months of eating like this, after my leptin sensitivity was restored by just changing my exposure to sunlight.

      Our mitochondria use electrons to make our basic source of energy. It sources these electrons from cytochrome gateways on its membrane. There are 2 cytochromes to take in electrons from digested carbs as glucose, and 3 to take in electrons from sunlight. These 3 cytochromes will shut down the need for food electrons from the other 2, which reduces our appetite. We are designed to eat sunlight, to put it a bit poetically.

      @swen6797 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Dr Christine Jones goes further to explain how regenerative agriculture makes nutrient dense food by explaining how brix levels are optimized in great soil. She even says a brix greater than 12 will keep away pests that usually entices farmers to spray to control.

    • @beemanminnesota7683
      @beemanminnesota7683 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@swen6797 There is plenty of evidence that fast food restaurants tinker with the food they serve so people will not feel satisfied. They have spent billions figuring out how to suppress leptin and increase the hormone ghrelin so people will go back for another burger or a pie. When the don't serve nutrient dense food that alone can keep one feeling hungry after they eat.
      Good luck on your quest for eating better through the low carb diet. I am also on low carb, I think it is a life style change for me because my bones and joint become painful if I eat a high carb diet. I have been on it for 5 years now and down 60 lbs.

The soil will benefit, the grass will never be eaten down too low so it will benefit, the microorganisms and the insects will LOVE it, the little creatures on the pasture (mammals, reptiles, amphibians) will love it because it's all natural, no -cides at all, the water cycle will improve, and my health will improve, along with my community. I just can't find affordable land though ... I'm still looking.
