In this video, we ask the question - can regenerative agriculture produce enough food to feed the world?
As the world population continues to grow, we are faced with the challenge of feeding everyone. regenerative agriculture is a potential solution to this problem, as it can help us to restore depleted land and regenerate crops. But is regenerative agriculture actually able to produce enough food to feed the world? In this video, we explore this question and find out the answer.

"I don't have" is the reason, and even excuse, that keeps so many strapped to the system. My Aunts had tomatoes in the flower beds. They moved to areas that didn't have room for the gardens they grew up with. But, they NEVER gave up their skills of gardening. One just threw seeds out into her flower beds to see what came up. Worked every time!! 3 of these Aunts are still with us. One is 99, one is 87, and one is 86. The one that tossed the seeds into the flower beds always made sure tomatoes were in the mix. She never liked a store bought tomato, and said the greens needed to be kissed by the dew and frost to taste the best. With one caveat- If you are not using store bought fertilizers- which she didn't. ALL of her kitchen scraps went right out to the flower beds. She always chuckled and said- well, lets see what we get back. 😆With that way of gardening, it throws out the "I don't have" reasons. Throw something out and see what you get back. 😃

Even if the argument were true that regenerative agriculture wouldn't produce enough to feed the world, it would still remain true that conventional agriculture isn't feeding the world either. Sure, we may be able to produce sufficient calories with conventional ag (via GMO corn and soy, and hybridized wheat), but for how long? And those calories are empty and devoid of life. They are purely sugars and starches that are severely deficient in bioavailable vitamins and minerals, the nutrition our bodies need. At the same time, conventional ag takes away pasture land from bison, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, etc. So now we have to figure out a different food source _and_ unnatural living conditions for them. Conventional ag also poisons the soil and water while denuding the land itself of all its health. Regenerative ag corrects all these problems of conventional ag-every single one. It _may_ be true that it _might_ fall short of supplying sufficient calories... perhaps, but I'm not convinced. However, the calories it does produce are dense with bioavailable nutrition (quality over quantity), while also integrating crop land with pastureland by mimicking natural ecosystems, intelligently working with and not against nature, while restoring and enriching soil and water health. And rather than denuding and depleteing our top soil by thousands of acres (or hectares?) every year, and so endangering our future capacity with conventional ag, regenerative ag actively creates and _regenerates_ top soil in perpetuity, meaning we will never be without adequeate land mass on which to grow life-sustaining, nutrient dense food; and we aren't stuck with what we have-we can _create more_ and so grow our food-making, world-feeding capacity with regenerative ag. all the wall it's collapsing and in free-fall under conventional ag.
