Regenerative Food and Farming: Survival and Revival

09/27/2021

Regenerative agriculture and holistic livestock management represent the next, crucial stage of organic food and farming, not only avoiding toxic pesticides, fertilizers, sewage sludge, GMO seeds, and excessive greenhouse gas emissions, but regenerating soil fertility, water retention, carbon sequestration, and rural livelihoods as well.

Our Global Regeneration Revolution: Organic 3.0 to Regenerative and Organic Agriculture

07/12/2021

We have a lot of work to do. We are currently living well beyond our planetary boundaries and extracting far more than our planet can provide. We need to build the new regenerative system that will replace the current degenerate system.

Peer-Reviewed Publications on Well-Managed Grazing as a Means of Improving Rangeland Ecology, Building Soil Carbon, and Mitigating Global Warming.

Considerations for the Biden Administration Regarding a National Carbon Farming Program

05/01/2021

A national carbon farming program at the USDA level would be a tremendous leap forward with regards to incentivizing agricultural practices that can help mitigate climate change. However, the current primary focus on no-till and cover cropping is narrow in scope. While cover cropping is an extremely important and impactful agricultural practice, it is merely a part of a larger system needed to regenerate healthy soils on a nationwide basis.

Vandana Shiva: Bill Gates Empires ‘Must Be Dismantled’

04/05/2021

In an interview with Dr. Joseph Mercola, Vandana Shiva says, “… if In the next decade, if we don't protect what has to be protected … and take away the sainthood from this criminal, they will leave nothing much to be saved.”

Regenerative Grazing – Increased Production, Biodiversity Resilience, Profits and a Climate Change Solution

03/29/2021

Landscapes used for grazing are often some of most degraded lands on the planet due to deforestation and inappropriate grazing practices. The good news is that there are a range of grazing systems that are proven to regenerate these ecosystems, increasing ground covers, biodiversity, soil organic matter, water holding capacity, and production outcomes.

Pasture Cropping—The Innovative No-kill, No-till System Developed by Australian Farmers

03/15/2021

Colin Seis and Neils Olsen are two Australian farmers that are pioneers of a cover cropping system called pasture cropping where the cash crop is planted into a perennial pasture instead of into bare soil. It not only is more cost efficient but it increases soil organic matter and soil fertility.

Best Practices: How Regenerative & Organic Agriculture and Land Use Can Reverse Global Warming

03/08/2021

Scaling up a small percentage (5-10%) of best practice regenerative and organic systems will result in billions of tons (Gt) of CO2 per year being sequestered into the soil and into continuous, perennial above ground biomass. The identification, funding, and deployment of these best practices on 5-10% or more of the world’s total croplands, rangelands, and forestlands will be more than enough to draw down and cancel out all the current CO2 and greenhouse gases (43 Gt of CO2) that are currently being emitted, without putting any more CO2 into the atmosphere or the oceans.
