[@hasenafarms6448]

Not to mention no till and regenerative practices also play a big role in carbon sequestration, which is how we reverse this whole mess to begin with. It's unfortunate they didn't mention that.

[@nickthomas6206]

well said. they left a LOT of the big critical points out of this. better than no mainstream coverage i guess

[@jasonhatfield4747]

Not very well explained but nice to see mainstream media paying attention to this. Industrial farming is CHEMICAL dependent and causes destruction and depletion of the soil whereas regenerative practices require no outside input and build soil over time. This puts carbon back into the earth instead of releasing it into the atmosphere as traditional chemical farming does. That’s the key difference.

[@violetviolet888]

Amendments to make our point more clearly: "Not very well explained but nice to see mainstream media paying attention to this. *Conventional* farming is CHEMICAL dependent *(synthetic inputs)* and causes destruction and depletion of the soil *and death of soil microbes* whereas regenerative practices require -no outside- *natural inputs* *a diversity of organic matter from wherever you can get it to* build soil over time. *These methods help sequester* carbon back into the earth instead of releasing it into the atmosphere as traditional chemical farming does.

I was surprised when I actually did this on my own i had this big old Belfast sink in my garden which was used as a flower bed many moons ago but the soil in it was literally dusty dirt completely lifeless and of no use at all but one summer I decided to plant wildflower seeds in it and by the end of the summer the Sink rammed full with wildflowers had changed the dirt and it became much more compost like and looked like proper soil, it made me realise how important looking after soil was

[@js.goldklang]

Sure no till is great but we need to move to perennial ag as much as possible. Tree crops like chestnuts, hazelnuts, fruits, etc, along with silvopasture and regenerative grazing should be the solutions emphasized in my opinion. But no till, compost, mulch, rotation should definitely be standard for annual ag.

[@violetviolet888]

It's a combination of all of the above. "annual ag."? You mean *conventional agriculture*.

[@js.goldklang]

My grandfather was cool!! He had college education in Engineering and Ag.Was in the Navy on a ship in the war. Nope He did not mono crop. He mixed the crops. It was dry land farming in West Texas. He planted a different crop in each land of that field. Cotton , milo, vegetable garden, sorghum, corn. He planted cushaw and okra on top of terraces, in the terrace bottoms, planted tomatoes and watermelon. Our garden was scattered all over that field! It made harvesting interesting all scattered, but a lot less loss due to disease,drought, and pest. Our cows grazed and pooped all over the field’s in winter months. Fall planting of barley and wheat, and cool weather crops. I do not ever remember him fertilizing!! He was practicing diversified farming when it was NOT the cool thing! Our neighboring big huge farmers fertilized, irrigation,and mono crop their fields!! He was using farm practice from days of recovering from dust bowl. He was cool!!

I'm slowly turning my yard into a regenerative food forest but it's really hard because it's basically beach sand. I've been doing Terra Preta, compost, chop & drop, leaf mulch, worm castings etc. It's hard to turn sand into soil.

[@flatsville1]

If you're in an area that doesn't get much below 32°, consider building a Johnson-Su Bioreactor. It will produce copious amounts of highly fungal compost via worm castings. They can be built under cover, like in a garage, barn or shed with a larger insulating ring of shrdeded leaves/pine needles to keep the worms from freezing & hydrated (from dying) over winter. Some addidtion of that Johnson-Su compost plus addirional organic matter should boost that sandy soil immensely.

[@dananorth895]

Patience, its a slow process over time. It's all bioengineering. Keep adding organic matter/mulch preferably composted. Azomite/green soil will boost minerals but take 9-12 mths. per bacterial co2/moister. Seaweed is quick fix interim. Always add plant matter back to soil. It drives me crazy seeing people hauling leaves etc off only to buy more stuff to add. Sterile farming has been destroying/depleting the soil since the days of Babylon.

[@PaleGhost69]

A couple ideas that might help are Hugelkulture, mulch pits, and planting for ecosystem succession. You can't go from beach to forest in one go. There needs to be a transition of the ecosystem. Focus on making your beach sand into grassland with pioneer species that can thrive there. Overgrow. Use that as a resource to push to the next stage. Check out "greening the desert project" with geoff lawton. There is a lot of stuff that will help.

[@mezenman]

Number one tip I can offer people is to buy your food local. Find an ethical local farmer and support them. Yes our prices are higher. But we sell a better product.

One point, they said regenerative ag won’t out perform conventional, but I think once soil biology and organic matter is well established it will out yield conventional. Hopefully more switch to farming like this.

[@claudiagates9157]

Please look into Mr Charles Dowding and his no dig approach. He's been doing this for over 40 years. Many so called farmers are so close minded that they didn't even care to listen to his explanation on why it's important to leave the soil as undisturbed as possible. Yet, they are starting to apply the same principles and pretend it's a new thing. Mr Dowding also explains that some soils might require some digging initially, like heavy clay soil, but not constantly. I learned a lot from him, am using his methods and my little vegetable garden is very healthy and productive. Have fun 😊

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

Oops ..my father could no longer physically farm.

[@AnyKeyLady]

A lot of farmers and gardeners have been doing the no till/ no dig method for a few years now as they have also learnt that by doing so it also releases the carbon dioxide that was taken in by the plants, just like when they chop trees down. The layering or "Lasagna" method of greens and browns, is what you would do in your composter or wormery, you are also doing on your planting area, allowing the existing micro life to break down the nutrients directly where it needs it. Homemade, organic fertilisers are made on site, using worm castings or poop and pesticides, if used at all are made with plants such as lavender, rosemary and peppermint.

[@barbarachu830]

So much carbon can be sequestered in the soil with regenerative farming practices. With the proper biology in the soil, and without tilling, the microbes create structure in the soil. This structure keeps the soil aerobic, holds water, and allows plant roots to go deep. Regenerative farming is the way to go to create mineral-rich foods that are healthier--

[@aenorist2431]

Yes, and not just farmers but they can also buy a lot more time for the rest of us, the ones being way too slow to decarbonize. Without no till and similar development, we have a few decades of soil left and then (amidst climate catastrophy) we will experience starvation on scales that make the holocaust look like a stubbed toe.

[@UmmYeahOk]

I’m not against GMO, but I realized this year that it could potentially be the downfall of humanity. You see, many GMO produce is designed to not be fruitful. For example, you can plant seeds from them, and while a plant may sprout, the odds of it ever bearing the fruit you want, or the root system, will never occur.

[@violetviolet888]

You are mixing up two entirely different concepts. You would benefit from being against GMO. GMO means the plants that create the food you eat are infused with built in pesticides that do NOT break down in our bodies, as they are built to NOT break down in the plants. They are persistent and cumulative over time when we ingest them. They persist in the soil. They kill the insects that birds rely on which means there are less birds. There are less birds to feed wildlife and those that are left dose the wildlife with toxins that build up in *their* bodies-just as in our bodies. As for planting seeds from GMO, they are sold to farmers by contract that they are not allowed to save the seeds or they will be severely fined. Many of the regular seeds for home gardeners are hybrid which means they will not grow true to the parent plant which is why it is not productive to save seed from hybrids. Solution: Go back to the way it was before 1940. Grow heirloom seeds, save the seeds each year from the strongest plant. Plant those seeds the next year. It's been done this way for millions of years.

[@UmmYeahOk]

@Probably 2021 what in gods name does climate change have to do with GMO produce?!? Sure, the weather can effect how a plant grows, but if it is genetically engineered to not be reproduced from its own seeds because they want you to buy seeds or plants directly from them, then mankind can’t grow crops without purchasing them from corporations. You were too busy flinging insults at people to even realize what the topic was about!

[@UmmYeahOk]

@@violetviolet888 agreed, but the problem is 2020 brought in a lot of amateur victory gardeners. With droughts and such, it is these victory gardens that will reduce the need from larger farms. But as amateurs, many may not know of heirloom seeds, or the practice, since this was never something taught to them by school or family members who traditionally would pass this information along down to the next generation. As one of those amateur backyard victory gardeners who never buys organic, my strawberries and potatoes grew differently, and never bore fruit. All the store bought stuff did fine though.

[@violetviolet888]

@@UmmYeahOk Victory gardeners alone are not enough unless it is a concerted mass effort with education and intention. I know newbies and gardeners. I've been teaching them for decades. The difference today is that education is at your fingertips. And experience with strawberries and potatoes which never bore fruit teaches you what *not* to do. This is a large part of gardening/farming: failure and trying again but smarter through research. Start with the following authors: Elliot Coleman, Mel Bartholomew, Douglas Tallamy, and David Boehnlein

[@violetviolet888]

@Logan Miller I did mean to say GLYPHOSATE is what is taken up by the plant, persists in the soil *and* in our bodies. There is a reason Bayer was required to pay more than $10 Billion to resolve cancer lawsuits. I'm well aware that there has been more than enough food grown on this planet to feed 12 billion people since 2010. We have 7.9 Billion now. 1/3 to 40% of all food produced ends up as *food waste*. As for productivity, devoting at least 10 percent of cropland to native flowering pollinator plants for pollination and predator habitat (even though some land was converted for this purpose) have been proven over and over to increase previous yields of the same crops by over 20%. Less work input, less money input, less time input, less water input. The healthier our soil microbes are and the more you enable nature to do what she does best, the healthier the plants, the more flavorful the produce.

[@sinhnguyen4815]

@ThoughtCrime that's pretty accurate. That's government serving its people however. If that business is not profittable, it is for anyone to chip in, even just ideas. That's how I feel. Ethanol is bio friendly. It is just bio gas in your tank, at affordable prices arguably. That's on the consumer side. Corn farming can be considered non friendly to the environment, it has been said. As far as farming goes, I think some agricultural technologies that are coming from the universities should get some credits. There is always a demand from consumers for gasoline but guess how many farmers there are? Not enough people or attention in the work force. It is subsidized anyways, right? As far as finance goes, the government has its incomes and contributions that make up its budget. It doesn't work on authority alone, though intelligence is one way it makes money. The government works with independent farmers to provide, and consumers make their own money to buy gas. Any demands are not enough. It's like that.

"A lot of broadacre farmers are no till, leving the crop residue on the feilds" "A lot" is not what you think. We've barely scratched the surface. In 1990, approximately 6% of the farmland in America was being farmed using no till practices. In 2004, approximately 22% of the farmland in America was being farmed using no till practices.

Silly question. How come tilling, a very very very old practice turned out to be - according to reg ag proponents - so obviously harmful? How did tilling ever became a thing?

[@violetviolet888]

"How did tilling ever became a thing?" Because of massive amounts of land and the "John Deer" Tractor for starters, then large, expensive farming machines - industrialization of conventional agriculture. Growing food should not be done on plots that are thousands of acres. It should be millions of small farms feeding their local community. Have you noticed when there is a recall from a farm it affects dozens of states at the same time? This is because of large scale industrialized systems. If something goes awry with a small farm, it does not affect 38 states at the same time. Or one bad cow doesn't end up mixed with thousands of others resulting in a recall in 42 states. It's not sustainable, practical or good for the environment in any way.

[@soffio2000]

Tilling became a thing to bury crop residues and fertilizers and act as weed control. Also to make a good seedbed. Keep in mind that ploughs used in ancient times were not very deep, as they had to be towed by animals. From my experience as an european student, no tillage is not as big of a movement here.

It's time consuming initially as your setting up/fixing existing conditions. Once you've set up new land or fixed old then it's cheaper.

DETAILS FOR THE FUTURE: I’ve been telling everyone that no one really knows how to farm yet! We’ve still got a lot to learn, and we shouldn’t use fertilizers. And we shouldn’t let FIVE CORPORATIONS grow and own all the food!! All people should own all things worldwide because then food will be free so no one starves. With capitalism where 5 corporations own all food, they MUST say “if you want MY FOOD you must BUY it, and if you can’t get money ever again, then starve to death!” FYI that’s very evil. But it’s the system, like a BEAST that controls everything, and has all the money! So that we all MUST BUY IT because they MUST SELL IT! It’s an ancient, system since the BEGINNING! So when (not if) all people OWN ALL THINGS WORLDWIDE, the corporations could say “ok, who needs food (worldwide), so we can get it to anywhere on EARTH, and since everyone owns it, it’s FREE”! Because then money will be eliminated, because it’s all just numbers in computers! Then all the money can be redistributed to every single person as a UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME! Capitalists have always done everything wrong, because they believe in “private property” because that’s how it’s almost always been done. But now we have PERFECT COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION to teach all people they’ll only need to work part time, and only on necessities! Jobs making weapons and military and vehicles should be eliminated, and those people will be able to start teaching their (older) kids (not babies or toddlers, unless they want to help!) about working with parents wherever they live, and everyone can learn more about best farming, everyone will pick crops for ONE DAY, and then the next day they might work somewhere else, or not have to work, so they can oversee their child’s online “education” which will be set up quickly, like we’ve done since the pandemic! And someone else will work that field the next day, and so on every day new people work the farm, not just ONE FARMER who’s a SLAVE to the land/farm, milk cows/chickens, etc livestock that need cared for every DAY! They can sign up or be assigned on a computer NETWORK, one for each area/farm near where they live. Of course it will be easy because we have PERFECT COMMUNICATION AND TRANSPORTATION TODAY! Because no one WANTS to starve to death! But today millions of Americans, and billions worldwide, are starving to death! Because of capitalism, work for a tiny wage or starve. And “buy and sell something or starve” because property is owned/bought/sold, which is wrong!!! Communal communities! No one could foresee having COMPUTERS just 30+- years ago, but now we have them! And don’t whine, you farmers, because you had to BUY your farm! It will be a more perfect system! And you won’t starve, and no one else will either, anywhere on EARTH! By just saying all people own all things! We can eliminate unequal wealth worldwide, and end world poverty, and end all crimes and wars, which will be PERFECT! And then we must also get all nations to start building only TOWER CITIES connected to maglev TRAINS WORLDWIDE! Because no more vehicles will continue being built! And all people can SHARE VEHICLES, and won’t need to BUY one for every single person, which is crazy! And then we can start farming vertically, without soil, look for it on KZbin! It’s amazing! Eventually the wild animals will have all the LAND to themselves, without FENCES making life difficult, if not impossible, like crossing ROADS AND FREEWAYS where they get killed, millions every DAY, which if we don’t change soon, there won’t be any wild animals left! Eliminate all vehicles worldwide ASAP! They’ll be needed for a while, but not much longer! God will destroy those who destroy the earth, so WE MUST CHANGE! God will bless you who understand!
