Episode 39: 7 Farmers You Should Know

Regenerative Agriculture is farming with nature rather than against it. Farmers who work regeneratively treat nature like a dance partner rather than a sparring partner. It’s mimicking on a small, human-directed scale what nature does on a large, wild scale. Regenerative farmers focus on building healthy ecosystems by replenishing the humus which has been lost by centuries of extractive and shortsighted farming methods. They focus on: Organic matter, hydrology, mineral cycling, ground cover, and plant spacing NOT Yield, weeds, disease, pests, artificial inputs, and chemicals These are seven regenerative farmers who you should know about (or even buy food from).
