SO they're just interseeding w cover crop and calling that regen? I guess that will reduce runoff. Are they reducing chemical inputs? No glyphosate??

This is beautiful. Watching the soil biodiversity increases is like music to my ears. I should have been a farmer. I absolutely love watching farms transform into growing real food. Increased biodiversity, increased nutrition, increased harvests. Keep going, and please, keep sharing the success of working WITH nature.

It is a tiny step toward regenerative agriculture but they are still very far from the real regenerative agriculture. Some of the key techniques being used in real regenerative agriculture (not the industrial regenerative agriculture) to increase soil health are no tillage, no big machines compacting the soil, cover crops all year long, no use of chemical inputs and the integration of plants and animals. So these agriculteurs are still far from the real regenerative agriculture. Chemical companies are not promoting that approach, they rather use the same techniques as the cigarette companies in the 60s, they seed the doubts to not loose their lucrative business, they do not care about population health. Besides they need unhealthy people, otherwise their pharmaceutic business would go bankrupt.

What is the cover crop they used? How is the cover crop terminated? They told use their cash crop is corn which is interseeded after it dies with cover crop. The corn is then followed by barley as the main crop. Do they interseed barley with a cover crop and which one? Could they eventually switch from regenerative to regenerative organic with this transition?

Regenerative is organic since it doesn't require inputs. Also, cover crops vary from location to location depending on the climate, so he may not have said what he used because he didn't want to mislead anyone into thinking that would work on their fields in some other area of the country.

@@wendyscott8425 regenerative may be Organic sometimes, but the majority of growers are using herbicides and synthetic fertilizers. It is a move in a great direction. Unfortunately Organic isn’t always regenerative. USDA is in the clutches of industrial ag, it allows hydroponic, soil less, to be labeled Organic. No other countries do.
@wendyscott8425Күн бұрын
@ Agreed, although I haven't heard of too many regenerative ranchers or farmers using inputs. Why would they? I realized one day that the “organic” lettuce I was buying was grown without soil. So I stopped buying it. I’ve gone to a mostly carnivore diet now. It’s saving me money and time, even with the cost of the occasional grass-fed ribeye steak 🥩 I indulge in. 😋

While scaling regenerative agriculture is indeed crucial for land, water, and communities, the piece contains an inaccuracy regarding population growth. Contrary to the claim of increasing population, we're actually experiencing a decline in birth rates.

True. It's too bad he plants so much corn. I would hope he eventually gets into some cattle ranching. That's where some better nutrition can happen, both for the soil and consumers.

As someone who grew up in a very environmentally friendly household, the documentary Kiss the Ground was extremely interesting to me. It enlightened me on a lot of the practices that I learned from my family and have brought into my adulthood. It emphasizes the importance of things such as farming without utilizing pesticides and purchasing free range chicken along with various other things we can do to improve our planet. It also includes several of my favorite celebrities such as Woody Harrelson and Ian Somerhalder making it even more enjoyable to watch. The directors of this film, Josh and Rebecca Tickell also do a great job with the imagery to create an all around great experience.

As someone who actively likes to learn about healthier alternatives for different subjects, whether it be food, health, makeup, or climate change, the film Kiss the Ground was right up my alley. The directors Josh and Rebecca Tickell did a wonderful job bringing awareness to all the chemicals used in our agriculture and all the issues it brings to humans and the climate. By choosing actors like Woody Harrelson and Ian Somerhalder to narrate the film and farmers who are passionate about regenerating techniques for agriculture, makes the film super engaging emotionally but influential as well. This movie made me want to plant my own garden, get a compost bin, and get as many trees in the ground as possible. This movie shows that the answer to climate change is so much simpler than we realize and if we work together, we can make a huge impact for generations to come.

SOIL REGENERATION needs to be done for A DOZEN BETTER REASONS than the Non-Existent Climate Crisis: It would FIX: • Soil Erosion nearly eliminated • Adds 1/2" of Topsoil per year (to over 1 meter depth) • Increases Rainwater Holding Capacity of Soil by 10 to 20 times • No Poisons in our Food • Pests & Diseases are controlled with Balanced Plant Nutrition (See Advancing Eco Agriculture) • Soil Regen can occur WHILE producing higher Crop Yields • Soils become practically drought resistant • Eliminates Ocean Dead Zones from Over-Fertilization • Cropland Temperatures are ~10° Cooler on Hot days boosting Photosynthic activity. . • Cattle and other farm animals are FAR HEALTHIER & SO ARE HUMANS THAT EAT THEM. • Nutrient Content of Food increases MULTIPLES HIGHER. • Farm fuel use cut > 50% • Many other reasons. This SOIL REGENERATION MUST BE DONE. _________ ASIDE: CO2 isn't even close to the most abundant Greenhouse Gas (Water is ~100 times more "potent" than puny CO2 (puny at over 350ppm where its effects are saturated - no significant additional effect)....and 2023 / 2024 aren't even close to the hottest years on record (Records that only go back to the END OF THE COLDEST PERIOD since the glaciers ~~ 1850 & Only over US & UK)...the 1930's were far hotter. HALF the US WAS over 100° for weeks. Nothing even remotely CLOSE to that is occurring.

@DocSiders2 ай бұрын
@vivalaleta Actually I am a Geologist. Closer to a Climate Scientist than Michael Mann the Statistics Fraud. This warming period STARTED IN the Early 1700's. That's INDISPUTABLE. Tide gauges all over the world show over a Century of a steady TREND of Sea Level Rise Caused by STEADY OCEAN WARMING that hasn't changed in over a Century (same rate on decadal trendline). Nobody knows what caused this riding TREND... but YOU CANT APPLY CO2 as the Cause when CO2 hadn't started rising until HALFWAY....THROUGH...THE...TREND. No serious Scientist would defend SWITCHING CAUSES HALFWAY through a Monotonous Trend. Odds are ZERO that whatever caused the 1st 75 years of warming STOPPED EXECTLY WHEN Co2 Started its warming... when Emissions started to rise (around 1950). [We also have 150 year STEADY WARMING of the longest temperature record from Central England. STEADY warming for 150 years...not 60 years. No Geologist I know believes there is ANY Climate Crisis. They don't publicize that else they'd lose their funding that only THE BIG FOUNDATIONS OR GOVERNMENT Provides us.
