Still, if you can grow SOMETHING in brackish water land it's a real advance, and if (IF) nobody wants to eat it, you can make beer, sake, soju, vodka out of it, it can be feed, it can be emergency food. Internet idiots neglect the common obvious fact that there are big disasters here and there in the world, and sometimes we might want to distribute food out of storage to a bunch of people!

However, perennial rice also has some potential challenges, including: Organic matter buildup: Perennial rice can build up organic matter to the point that it immobilizes soil nitrogen and phosphorus.

The production problem in China has to do with bad & ignorant farming practices. Over farming. Destruction of the environment. People who don’t know the first thing about farming & don’t listen being in charge of local government. Factory & mining poisoned water. Lack of infrastructure to deliver and portion out sufficient water to farms, especially when production is expanded by order of the central government. The city authority brings a bunch of city people out and disc under & throw wheat seed at a bunch of land adjacent to the existing farms to (expand production). They cut down a forest of trees that are in the way of progress. They don’t create infrastructure to water the new crop area, never return to tend it, and it all dies because the farmer can’t get or afford extra labor to tend it either, and because he doesn’t have extra water from them for that. The government saw the farmers were living poor, so it built some apartment buildings and bulldozed their village because its an eyesore. Stole their chickens, cows & other livestock and said its because it looked bad and they weren’t permitted to raise them, thats for factory farms, but the government officials sold those animals to permitted ranchers or a slaughter house and kept the money.

This is just mimicing some of the benefits of natural systems, and you can't do better than a population of millions or billions of plants breeding on their own.

If everyone kept with traditional farming where they bred forward with what did best, and bred from multiple local varieties and species which already are adapted to the local environment, then we would already have good producing stuff that's sturdier than anything we as a global civilization rely on today, and we wouldn't need companies to make our food if we gardened with the fertile soil we live on as much as is reasonably possible. It's a good hobby for mental health, and people who cant work in a "normal" job can grow plants and feed ther community as well as themselves. Having plants right there to c9nsibe waste from animals and humans is objectively the cleanest way to live, that's how mexico city was the most populated city on earth until european contact, they used their chinampas to clean water and produce food. We say we're advanced, but is it truly smarter to let your environment become unhealthy and conducive to disease. We need to go back to a community based approach to food or we will keep destroying forrests and wetlands to farm, we often live in places that are great for growing plants, regenerative agriculture and rewilding will help people with food security and bring pest populations under control, because nature has already spent millions of years figuring how to keep this stuff balanced.

We need to start making farm jobs more appealing to people in USA. Right now, most farm labor is undocumented, and manned by immigrants. If only we could localize more, and make food an important part of society again. I see tons of abandoned homes and land that could have rows of hybrid green houses built right into the communities. We do it with cannabis already on mass scale, why not food? wtf. Wouldn't you like a local market, with food there, grown by your neighbors on a decent wage? Restaurant and grocery store dumpsters full of food all the time, and the places that use to be able to give out leftover food, aren't allowed because someone got sick 1 time and lawyers changed laws. Probably what 1/3 of those fields, end up in dumpster? think about it. The loss of mass farming has to be insane compared to smaller more localized ops.

Could it be...rice?

Double the yield and halve nutritional content.

[@GuruPanda-xx3og]

Double yielding, double diabetes

Good topic but way too much rambling to hype watch time. clickbait!

n'importe quoi : ça fait plus de mille ans qu'en chine, certains agriculteurs font deux récoltes par an ... ce qui n'a d'ailleurs pas empêché la chine de connaître des famines désastreuses ... en agronomie, la culture miracle ou la variété miracle, ça n'existe pas : l'amélioration des rendements se fait par de multiples petites innovations au fil du temps et par l'avancée de la technologie.

When yields go up nutrition tends to go down. Not always but often

If the human race is to be perennial is has to sow perennial

Sad that the information presented by your channel has sparked the interest of soo few. But yet idiot pranks in dying US shopping malls or gritty streets are watched by millions.

Interesting video. Would have been improved if the bot you used for the narration didn't sound like a used car salesman. Or here's a thought: be truly regenerative and pay a live human being to narrate. That will be one less person facing hunger. The explanations are teetering on the edge of insulting; like how you might explain to a small child. Except you throw in a bunch of questionable assertions along the way, like how this rice research avoids use of radiation on the crop. Really? That's not even a thing. As for ending world hunger, I am less sanguine about that, when hunger is being driven by food waste and price gouging. Still, perennial grains are worth developing.

@@SuperVlerik it is a real human you are insulting as well as the script writer. Sorry you didn't like it

[@SuperVlerik]

@@RegenerativeFarmersofAmerica Maybe work on the tone of voice then. It's off-putting.

[@RegenerativeFarmersofAmerica]

@@SuperVlerik we did. He keeps changing it up and The more we try to change it the more we get accused of using AI.

[@SuperVlerik]

@@RegenerativeFarmersofAmerica Sorry to have insulted this. I am a big proponent of Regenerative, which may be why I took offence at what seemed a dumbing-down of the topic. I get that you're trying to reach new people, but maybe the narration could err more on the side of just sounding like a normal person sharing something cool with people who are likely to agree that it's progress. Those less informed can catch themselves up. A little extra curiosity being a healthy thing, and all that?

[@RegenerativeFarmersofAmerica]

@@SuperVlerik We will take that into consideration for the next videos. You hit the nail on the head that we are trying to reach people who are not actively involved in farming which does need to be lowered quite a bit. As farmers ourselves we're probably struggling with how to do that well since we have been obsessed with this for quite a while. The next few videos are going to be kind of all over the place as we're trying to explore that connection. I will also say we are a little bit distracted as we're working on a project to support farmers better than just spreading awareness

Your film took 1/2 hour of viewers time this film. Shame on you for your KZbin greed
