To ask the question, “can regenerative, sustainable agriculture feed the world?” Is to ask the wrong question. We need a lot more people on the planet, to be engaged in producing food for themselves, and the communities around them rather than having centralized industrial-based agriculture.
The other day my neighbour came over and ask me if i can sell him some eggs because he wants organic. I told him he cant buy it from me but we can trade for some vegetables from his back yard garden.
Don't hold your breath. All around the world, governments (by direction of WEF) are either shutting down farmers by insane regulations, and or paying them off to shut down and walk away. No meat. No eggs. Bugs only for you and me.
The "Need to Grow" documentary showcases several innovative solutions to address the global food and agriculture crisis. Some of these solutions include: 1. Regenerative Agriculture: This farming practice focuses on restoring soil health and increasing biodiversity by using techniques such as cover cropping, crop rotation, and reduced tillage. 2. Aquaponics: This system combines aquaculture (raising fish) with hydroponics (growing plants in water) to create a closed-loop system that produces both fish and vegetables. 3. Composting: This process involves converting organic waste into nutrient-rich soil through microbial decomposition. 4. Vertical Farming: This method involves growing crops in vertically stacked layers, using artificial lighting and a controlled environment to maximize yields and reduce water use. 5. Mycoremediation: This technique uses fungi to break down toxic pollutants in the environment, such as pesticides and herbicides. Overall, these solutions offer promising ways to address the challenges of modern agriculture and move towards a more sustainable and resilient food system.
As I get near the end of my days, I'm increasingly grateful for the hippie movement of the 1960s-70s, when the western world came to recognize that our food, and air water soil, were killing us; why it was happening, and the enormous importance of naturally grown food. We began to heal the planet even as destructive systems increased. Get back to the land.
I recently watched an interview with TheoFarms and the quote is basically that Lactose intolerance is really Pastureized milk allergy. Fecking awesome.
I love that people are talking about local, organic, raw food but I wish that we could talk about how we can make this food accessible to all people. Especially those living in poverty, who often don't get a choice but to eat processed food that is low in nutrients.
We have, and are, living in a lot of poverty right now, from several years of not being able to work properly from Crohn's, which, I have found, is VERY related to the crap we put in our bodies. (Not saying it's 100% caused by food, just saying, there's a huge part of it that is worsened by our food system.) Big journey of learning and experimenting - I'm sure a lot of people down this path have found the same things. Personally, we do a lot of wild foraging and it's a pretty amazing way to get out there and eat some decent stuff most of the year, and we're moving towards growing a lot of our own as we go on this journey. I agree, 95% of what comes from the food bank, etc, is just more health-detrimental garbage.
You can grow at least *some* veggies even on a balcony (almost free), grow quails/rabbits (requires more monetary input, but you get eggs/meat)! It's a matter of choice and will - some poor families just do not *want* to bother hard enough and only relay on gvmt - that *is* a problem too~
👍👍👍💖💖💖🇬🇧 I’m so excited to see this video ,I don’t live in America but it still makes me excited .if America can change ,there is hope for the world . Thank you.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 A much needed movie showing the public how proper farms are managed, how animals are treated and fed food that’s right for them. Factory farming has destroyed the food industry!! Getting back to sustainable farm is healthy for all humans. You are what you eat!! Do you live to eat or eat to live. I was raised on a dairy farm and know how real food tastes!! Eat organic!
Restortional OR Regenerative Agriculture IS the way to evolve further in food production. And, absolutely certainly, we, true farmers, can feed our local communities and the rest of the world is ready to follow the best practices. The first raw organic milk Ielegally put on supermarket shelves in 2008 is still the bestseller. The only milk legally sold should be raw organic. Safe. True. Sustainable.
The funny thing is - reg. agriculture is actually NOT evolving further BUT going BACK to the basics... just with more scientifically proven backpack on your shoulders.
Gotta approach it from all angles. Every supermarket employee in charge of purchasing produce should have this understanding. Every kindergarten student worldwide should be taught to grow their own food sustainably
Congratulations to Joshua Weissman! Happy for you and proud of you for gaining control of the food you were eating and for losing the weight so that you could feel and live better.
Excellent. I watched Food, Inc. I have watched Living Soil Film on TH-cam. Historically, people had their own gardens, herbs and flowers to decorate the front entryway, seasonal fruits and vegetables in the back to feed the family. I remember my elders telling me of Victory Gardens during World War II. I have read of people putting in neighborhood gardens in a blighted lot in very poor neighborhoods, and it feeds the neighbors, the people who live there, and brings more beneficial insects and regenerates the soil.There are more documentaries like this out there. I've also been reading recently that researchers are finding out that reintroducing predatory animals into an ecosystem has positive effects on the whole system, examples wolves in Yellowstone.
Farmers have virtually zero power to make these changes... They are slaves to the destructive, industrialized systems that do this damage in exactly the same ways we as consumers are simply to be able to pay the interest on the debts they must carry just to operate....
Amazing production!! This topic and how to get more people participating in it is vital in turning processed foods back to natural healthy foods. Our planet gives so much, it is our job to make sure we care for it so it can take care of us.
To put it simply: anytime we make money as the priority of life all kinds of problems will show up. Anytime we make life as the priority all kinds of problems disappear.
Growing up in the 60s-70s there was only one fat girl in each class (not trying to be offensive). That was the reality. Now, when I go to the beach there is only one woman or man with a trim, fit body. That's got a lot to do with food and a sedentary life. We are fed crap is my point.
Great video. We’ve started our large gardens to feed our large family organic foods. We’d love to learn sustainable farming and perhaps grow most of our food but are not sure how… we have our layers and gardens but still have 26 acres of decent land. It’s quite a journey…
Home Grown. Two words that have been around since the Beginning of time and will to the very End! If you not growing your own food or smoke you better know your producers!
@@Mindy56743 You pay for worthless food, you'll be eating at all day. That's why it's made that way. Buy good food and you don't have to eat as much. Can you pay the medical bills?
I used to grow å lot myself, in my garden when I had my own house. I want real food, helthy food, food worth eating. Mad I'll pay more for ut, but my health is better. I live in Norway.
There are a lot of bio diverse farmers on you tube that you can learn from, and grow some of your own vegetables and fruits. You don't need a farm. There are urban growers too. I get a lot of information by asking on you tube
I imagine there are plenty of homesteads not using these kinds of methods and I imagine many just don't know all they could know -- still fertilizing, tilling, doing things in a way that could be done better and not knowing that certain aspects of what they're doing could be done in a better way. It takes a lot of learning for people to learn even some of these techniques and get used to what we can do... there's so much. I mean, I've been into farming and gardening my whole life, and I only just started learning about regenerative agriculture in the past 2 years, and even with 2 solid years of research and putting things into practice, there's still SO MUCH I need to learn. And I'm able to work on the computer (as an artist) while listening to these people talk about specific methods and watch like 10+ videos a day, and I'm still just barely scratching the surface of all that can be learned -- so I don't think most people homesteading will really know all there is to know -- this video just scratches the surface of 'use less pesticides, utilize animals to build soil, use less harmful practices to grow things; compost better... etc etc.' It's kind of a tiny window into a HUGE subject. :)

You can try not to bring down other subjects which are also very important. And actually i am a student who is being taught this sort of a thing in school, and i believe its not talked about nearly enough but nobody likes a transphobe (also they actually dont touch on lgbtq+ in school nearly as much as you think they do)
This ducumentary oversimplify the problem. People in poverty and extreme poverty arent in food safety. And they cant farm without land and cant have land as it is concentrated by a few rich people and neo liberalism wont let a land redistribution happen. its beautiful to have regenerative agriculture. but the product is more expensive, the yield is less. the us need to stop subsidizing corn, beens, and beef. Then poor people wold by basically priced out of daily meat diets. Also, organic doesn't mean no pesticides, there are organic pesticides that arent regulated yet. Im not saying it deserves to be asked. Were it on my hands all people would have access to plant to live from is they would like to use it expropiating great rich land hoarders that just lease the land for profit. There must be a sweetspot of mostly pesticide free farms that are cheaper for the masses. As organic produce is so inefficient that there is not enough land to feed the world organically. Ever worse if we arent 100% vegetarian. i liked it but we need to see things in perspective and people living pay check to paycheck wont buy the more expensive produce. i know as I've been there.
You cannot exclude animals from food production (you should exclude a middlemen, like vid suggested) - it's the way nature works; grazing animals are the key species for land management (think of buffalo as a N.American example); intensive multi species rotational grazing nourishes the land, controls parasites, contributes to local biodiversity, improves microclimate. Humans should eat *less* meat - that I can concur - but not *no meat* at all, we are omnivorous creatures after all (again, vegans can continue being vegans, but it doesn't mean *everyone* should do the same). You get more variety (aka more food/money) of food with multi crop & animal management from the same sized plot, than from monoculture farming; so, yeah, while yields of single species are lower, the overall production is higher. Organic pesticides can me made at home (i.e. pepper solution), no need to spend any money, and they *repel* bugs, not kill them, they have no averse effects on both humans & animals. Besides, interplanting flowers & herbs that repel bugs (i.e. taggets, marigolds, basil, onions) with your veggies eliminates a need for spraying even organic pesticides. It's just a matter of *initially* spending more thought & effort into organising your garden; the more mature it becomes, the less effort it needs from you to manage it. It's not a rocket science, and with modern access to information, *anyone* could take a step doing it, even on your tiny windowsill. Even poor can grow at least *something* for themselves, you only need seeds; I can agree it's impossible providing entire meals out of a balcony/window garden, but it is a step. As far as I know US have multiple programs providing free land and tax reductions in scarcely populated areas - why not move from a city then?
I love this message, I stand with working in the environment you have and creating an ecology that is alive and thriving. However, if you truly want a food revolution and to impart this message on everyone, you need to have a more diverse group of people you’re interviewing. White people aren’t the keepers of Earth’s knowledge. And it’s not just in the fields and large acres, it’s in urban backyards and patio gardens too. Don’t let your message stop here, take it to the streets. Literally.
Yes! I agree…this job is for everybody hands to be in it in order for this to work,……unfortunately due to human limitations man will never be able to solve its own problems…only God can handle this. But until then we can all or whoever wants to can do our part that goes against self destruction.
The big cities must be urban farmers and at 50 year move to country and fifty years live on meat! Why can't you buy cream for day farm down the road. With the farm being sued by dairyco
It would be very interesting to have a conversation between Vandana Shiva and the WEF, whose proposals are entirely contrary to what she is promoting. For example, King Charles, a founder of the WEF, in his first legislative act as King give Royal Assent to a bill enabling the incorporation of "genetically optimised" organisms in the food chain without a requirement for a declaration. This means far more than simple genetic modification by addition of a gene from a related species. It could mean the inclusion of novel pharmaceuticals. or any number of other harmful concoctions. The WEF proposes industrially manufactured protein from insects, wiping out entire historic cultures of natural nutrition in a planned cultural genocide.
I don't think we should look at the industrial food complex as bad. I know many large scale rice, cotton, corn and soybean farmers. Ive never heard any of them say, "let me see how I can poison the planet today" Chemicals are tools and have their place. It's how we have been able to provide for 7 billion people. If the demand for pasture raised animals and non gmo was there, large scale farmers would change their growing practices, but its not. Much of the US grown corn and soybeans are used as animal feed for the Chinese meat demand. The poorest half of the world is not worried about a free range chicken. They just want to eat. If you can get them a free range animal for the same cost they buy industrial raised meat I'm sure the may consider changing. We are 100 years into industrial farming. We can't scream and blame. Most of us have benefitted from large scale AG in some way. The best idea is to use science based education and have more food transparency.
Herbivores feed and water the land as they eat and walk on it. It's the way the land survived until the animals were removed from the land. A very sad time.
Everyone needs nature in there life; grow what you can where you can create your own compost collect your own seeds over time, use permaculture as a model for whatever scale you can achieve, if just fifty percent of the world population did this then there would be no shortage of good healthy and a damn site more tasty real food with real nutritional value.
I would have loved to be able to watch this, but far too many commercials now, It's like watching something on ABC, NBC or CBS, ridiculous! TH-cam is reaching the end.
Those farms with animals roving free look so beautiful. Now, let's talk about productivity and economics. How affordable food produced in such ways is, is enough food can be produced? Alas, that side is completely absent from the documentary.
Lindo ver as expectativas e sonhos , lindo de viver , é impossível alimentar , IMPOSSIVEL , alimentar o mundo com orgânicos e outras formas de cultivos que não a industrial , em grande escala , indústria de alimento, a verdadeira revolução . foi as descobertas cientificas feitas pela EMBRAPA e outras tantas instituições pelo mundo , desenvolvendo possibilidades de como alimentar uma quantia , cada vez mais , crescente de seres humanos , hoje o Brasil é um EXEMPLO DE SUSTENTABILIDADE , HOJE PRODUZIMOS 5 OU 6 VEZES MAIS NO MESMO TERRITORIO QUE ERA USADO NOS ANOS 70, CONSEGUINDO ASSIM COLOCAR MAIS COMIDA NO PRATO DO POBRE FAMINTO ! NÃO SEJAMOS INGENUOS .
Love your avatar! I think getting people to realize it exists, and then delving into it themselves, is a great start. I've been looking HEAVILY into this stuff for 2 years now and I still feel like I'm only scratching the surface; getting into specific techniques might just be too much for one video I think -- but I hear ya! Lots to learn!
Great video. Im a farmer in the south of Portugal. I see in the US how green it is, do you not get the geoengineering airplanes? we've had no rain here for quite a few years now and even in spring its so dry. How do you guys manage that?
Please look up Gabe Brown or Ray Archuleta and regenerative ag. Your soil can sequester a maximum of rainfall if it's a good shape and you keep armor on the ground.
This is a man made problem and man needs to commit collectively to fix the problem. This is causing illness adding to Dr bills we need to globally get on board to go back to the basics of healthy food production that is not fill of GMO and hormones .
To ask the question, “can regenerative, sustainable agriculture feed the world?” Is to ask the wrong question. We need a lot more people on the planet, to be engaged in producing food for themselves, and the communities around them rather than having centralized industrial-based agriculture.
100%!! Well said. Loving my 1/4 acre "food forest" / mini orchard. So much fun perennial fruit & veg growing in a standard suburban plot

I told him he cant buy it from me but we can trade for some vegetables from his back yard garden.
"We can't wait for govts and corporations to make the shift, people must"
Right now WEF wants to rule us all. So so sad
Don't hold your breath. All around the world, governments (by direction of WEF) are either shutting down farmers by insane regulations, and or paying them off to shut down and walk away. No meat. No eggs. Bugs only for you and me.
Government and corporations are the problem
Governments and Agencies are the reason this country shifted away from self-reliance because there wasn't a profit in it. People need to shift back.
A civilised society is one where the poor can afford organic food.
Or at least grow their food, which most can even if in buckets

In life you either pay the farmer or the doctor - would seem sensible to spend our money with the farmer.
one or the other 100%

Grow the food also. And with many
As I get near the end of my days, I'm increasingly grateful for the hippie movement of the 1960s-70s, when the western world came to recognize that our food, and air water soil, were killing us; why it was happening, and the enormous importance of naturally grown food.

Seeds don't cost a lot. Buy seed and plant for yourself. Don't depend on others feed you a healthy meal. Just saying.

It's just a matter of *initially* spending more thought & effort into organising your garden; the more mature it becomes, the less effort it needs from you to manage it. It's not a rocket science, and with modern access to information, *anyone* could take a step doing it, even on your tiny windowsill.
Even poor can grow at least *something* for themselves, you only need seeds; I can agree it's impossible providing entire meals out of a balcony/window garden, but it is a step. As far as I know US have multiple programs providing free land and tax reductions in scarcely populated areas - why not move from a city then?
I was drinking an organic fruit smoothie while watching this
Yes.
I love this message, I stand with working in the environment you have and creating an ecology that is alive and thriving. However, if you truly want a food revolution and to impart this message on everyone, you need to have a more diverse group of people you’re interviewing. White people aren’t the keepers of Earth’s knowledge. And it’s not just in the fields and large acres, it’s in urban backyards and patio gardens too. Don’t let your message stop here, take it to the streets. Literally.
Corporations use race division in order to achieve a goal. What's yours?
That's some racist shit there,no different from any other bigot.
Yes! I agree…this job is for everybody hands to be in it in order for this to work,……unfortunately due to human limitations man will never be able to solve its own problems…only God can handle this. But until then we can all or whoever wants to can do our part that goes against self destruction.
The big cities must be urban farmers and at 50 year move to country and fifty years live on meat!
Why can't you buy cream for day farm down the road. With the farm being sued by dairyco
I wish you had Jon Jandai in this film
Sir ji app ka Amazing jobs🇮🇳🇮🇳😍😍👏👏💓🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Also look into agroforestry and syntropic farming.
It would be very interesting to have a conversation between Vandana Shiva and the WEF, whose proposals are entirely contrary to what she is promoting. For example, King Charles, a founder of the WEF, in his first legislative act as King give Royal Assent to a bill enabling the incorporation of "genetically optimised" organisms in the food chain without a requirement for a declaration. This means far more than simple genetic modification by addition of a gene from a related species. It could mean the inclusion of novel pharmaceuticals. or any number of other harmful concoctions. The WEF proposes industrially manufactured protein from insects, wiping out entire historic cultures of natural nutrition in a planned cultural genocide.
I don't think we should look at the industrial food complex as bad. I know many large scale rice, cotton, corn and soybean farmers. Ive never heard any of them say, "let me see how I can poison the planet today" Chemicals are tools and have their place. It's how we have been able to provide for 7 billion people. If the demand for pasture raised animals and non gmo was there, large scale farmers would change their growing practices, but its not. Much of the US grown corn and soybeans are used as animal feed for the Chinese meat demand. The poorest half of the world is not worried about a free range chicken. They just want to eat. If you can get them a free range animal for the same cost they buy industrial raised meat I'm sure the may consider changing. We are 100 years into industrial farming. We can't scream and blame. Most of us have benefitted from large scale AG in some way. The best idea is to use science based education and have more food transparency.
great movie
Herbivores feed and water the land as they eat and walk on it. It's the way the land survived until the animals were removed from the land. A very sad time.
Everyone needs nature in there life; grow what you can where you can create your own compost collect your own seeds over time, use permaculture as a model for whatever scale you can achieve, if just fifty percent of the world population did this then there would be no shortage of good healthy and a damn site more tasty real food with real nutritional value.
They sell raw biodynamic milk at a farm near me in Sussex, UK, in returnable glass bottles.
Wow, you're really lucky. I hope it continues.
Indigenous tribes knew all this all along. . which is another part of why they were hunted during the industrial revolution!
Investing in crypto is the best way to earn financial freedom.
Investing in today is priceless because tomorrow isn't promised, trading Bitcoins,gold, silver and crypto secure a better tomorrow.
Without doubt crypto is so money making.
It's nice to hear people discuss about investment, because investment always beat cash.
This is the kind of information that we don’t get from most youtubers..
@Joel Jackson that won't bother you if you trade with a like Mr Jay Frank.
wow .nice one
I would have loved to be able to watch this, but far too many commercials now, It's like watching something on ABC, NBC or CBS, ridiculous! TH-cam is reaching the end.
Those farms with animals roving free look so beautiful. Now, let's talk about productivity and economics. How affordable food produced in such ways is, is enough food can be produced? Alas, that side is completely absent from the documentary.
It can be done. Dyson is one company experimenting with these methods on a large scale.

Lindo ver as expectativas e sonhos , lindo de viver , é impossível alimentar , IMPOSSIVEL , alimentar o mundo com orgânicos e outras formas de cultivos que não a industrial , em grande escala , indústria de alimento, a verdadeira revolução . foi as descobertas cientificas feitas pela EMBRAPA e outras tantas instituições pelo mundo , desenvolvendo possibilidades de como alimentar uma quantia , cada vez mais , crescente de seres humanos , hoje o Brasil é um EXEMPLO DE SUSTENTABILIDADE , HOJE PRODUZIMOS 5 OU 6 VEZES MAIS NO MESMO TERRITORIO QUE ERA USADO NOS ANOS 70, CONSEGUINDO ASSIM COLOCAR MAIS COMIDA NO PRATO DO POBRE FAMINTO ! NÃO SEJAMOS INGENUOS .
so very good. ya listening corporates?
if you actually look at the emissions, guys, the world is toast just from agri alone but we dont see it
Not a single vegetable grown in this documentary, that is what is wrong with the American diet.
Sure, Jan
Then you did not watch the full video! This is how to repair the soil
Evil loves confusion.
Great topic
But by trying to cover so much in one film it resulted in a very shallow story
Would have been better to go deeper into a few examples
Love your avatar! I think getting people to realize it exists, and then delving into it themselves, is a great start. I've been looking HEAVILY into this stuff for 2 years now and I still feel like I'm only scratching the surface; getting into specific techniques might just be too much for one video I think -- but I hear ya! Lots to learn!
Nice
Key word there is "small" farm. Do we all want to turn into small farmers? I doubt it...
8 billion humans and growing in 2023
nice
Great video. Im a farmer in the south of Portugal. I see in the US how green it is, do you not get the geoengineering airplanes? we've had no rain here for quite a few years now and even in spring its so dry. How do you guys manage that?
Please look up Gabe Brown or Ray Archuleta and regenerative ag. Your soil can sequester a maximum of rainfall if it's a good shape and you keep armor on the ground.
@@vivalaleta Thanks amigo. Just got Gabe browns book.
@@cedriccbass-jp8ky Fantastic! I'm so excited for you.
Is there a subtitle Spanish version of this video?
This is a man made problem and man needs to commit collectively to fix the problem. This is causing illness adding to Dr bills we need to globally get on board to go back to the basics of healthy food production that is not fill of GMO and hormones .

If theirs' is the answer then why so many people in India go hungry and why so few in the countries with industrial agriculture?
