'From the Ground Up - Regenerative Agriculture'

[@abaddon2479]

Just started doing this on my farm. I only have one cow but i sectioned of one acre into 5 parts for my cow to graze each section for one week, which will give all the others one full month of rest in between grazing. Still need to work out some kinks but my grass is looking much better.

[@kamikazemig1654]

ABADDON 247 good shit

[@DemonLord_D]

Are the others chickens or goats?

[@abaddon2479]

I am Curious the “others” would be the section of land that isn’t getting grazed by my cow. As I move the cow from one section to the other, the cow won’t be able to graze the last section he was on. Each section gets grazed for one week so the first section will get 4 weeks by the time the cows is done grazing the 5th section. But I do have chickens that follow the cow scratching up his poop.

I'm in the U.S. and I use regenerative agriculture on my small home farm. We have a 5,000 square foot garden, some chickens and a few sheep. We don't till our garden, we cover it with straw, and we don't use any pesticides (I try to bring in beneficial insects and animals to combat bad ones). We also graze our sheep the way the video speaks about. We learned from Greg Judy. And our chickens are super happy on their roughly 1/3 part of our acre pecking away happily at all the bugs and soaking up sunshine. It makes my heart happy to see how beautiful it is when we live with nature rather than fight it. It is very rewarding.

[@lovecatspiracy]

Around 10:00 thank you so much for your supportive words regarding under 5 acre farms worked by women. Sometimes I feel really small, useless, or ridiculous, since rather than seeking a wage, I assist my family by growing as much food as possible on our tiny lot. The more I improve the fertility of our land, tho, the more I approach that 70% of our family food supply figure. Really helped me improve my self esteem, thanks.

[@ritcheymt]

Love Cat, you are amazing. That you would experience low self esteem regarding your focus of raising food for your family is astounding to me. You have a healthy focus, contrasted with so many who just keep chasing more dollars with more consumption and more debt in an endless loop. Keep doing what you're doing! You will be your family's savior. You may also stumble upon a way to leverage your passion for growing your family's food into a profitable venture as well, which would really blow your family's minds, wouldn't it? It's amazing what people like Urban Farmer Curtis Stone, Joel Salatin, On The Grow or What The Fungus have learned about turning passion for self-sustainability into profits. Good luck, and keep your head up! You're doing important work!

[@patriciafisher1170]

love cat you are wonderful. Many years ago in the 80's I did the same on a 3 acre farm. I had five small children and my husband worked in town. So many ppl thought I should go and get a job. But I kept saying my job is my farm. We managed to provide ourselves with all our milk through goats. We had chickens and a huge vege garden that grew just about anything due to the red soil. I miss it terribly. And now live on a quarter acre in town. I decided that I would have a farm anyway so have chickens quails and grow as much as we can.

[@adventussaxonum448]

Have you read "Wilding" by Isabella Tree? It's about saving a typical intensive farming estate from bankruptcy by allowing large parts of the estate to revert to nature and stocking native breeds which are left to cope by themselves. As in the video, naturally wet areas are allowed to flood annually, reducing flood damage elsewhere and replenishing the meadows. The yields are higher, there's no fertilizer costs, everything is organic ( meaning premium product) and there's hardly any veterinary input. Not only is the business now a success but the area has become an oasis for rare breed birds and insects. All this in West Sussex.

Working paddock systems is something we’ve been doing in Ireland for years particularly in the dairy sector. Never knew it was a holistic way of farming

[@Alex2Bucket]

A lot (if not all) dairy farms in Australia regularly practice rotational grazing. It's far more profitable and better for the land.

[@milesthom3201]

Phil, yes we used to do paddock grazing for our milk cows in the seventies. But no way is that holistic. Regenerative paddock grazing is different altogether. They use “mob grazing”. Watch Gabe Brown on KZbin to see how it’s done

[@FARMERPHIL3690]

Miles Thom to my understanding mob grazing is where you put enough livestock into an area of ground to graze it within a day or so. That’s what we do most dairy farms work a 24 hour grazing system moving cows to fresh paddocks every 24 hours and a rotation of 21-28 days from when a paddock is grazed till it is grazed again. We try to run a 36 hour grazing on an average of a 26 day rotation on our own farm. If your interested head over to my channel and look for my video “a guide to our grassland management “

[@kamaburwell9375]

@@FARMERPHIL3690 As well as the rotational element, regenenerative grazing also involves growing the pasture taller, ensuring the animals only eat the top half of the pasture at any one time, using a much more diverse pasture, plus no superphosphate or urea (because they inhibit soil ecology).... I'm in NZ and all the dairy farmers practice rotational grazing, but it is not regenerative at all. But we're working to change that!

[@Alex2Bucket]

Kama Burwell depending how you define ‘taller pastures’, only grazing a plant to half high is potentially not the most effective use of the plant in terms of being benifical for the cow, being profitable and growing healthy pastures. Daughter tillers need sunlight and if you’re leaving behind too much residual, you’re shading those tillers from growing at their maximum potential.

This is probably one of the best videos I’ve seen on regenerative ag. How smart are our farmers? This is a huge window of opportunity. Our government could do so much to subsidise farmers to make the switch. According to the IMF coal is subsidised $10m a minute. Imagine how much we could transform the world of agriculture if we subsidised farmers $10m a minute. And imagine how many jobs we’d create? 70% of agricultural crops require harvesting and then then ploughing the soil, releasing all the carbon that had been captured from the atmosphere. Then when it rains we lose all that top soil. Leading to the environment degradation. Most of these crops like wheat and corn are used to feed cattle. Something they were not designed to eat. Just designed to bulk them up. So the cattle’s health suffers and then requires antibiotics. We then in jest it and it screws with our gut microbiome. Grass fed cows don’t suffer from the same problems. Coal is one part of the equation of climate change but if agriculture can sequester it, I’d imagine we would be neutralising a lot of the emissions from coal (I’m guessing). We need to question our priorities and apply systems thinking to the biggest problems we face. Everything is connected. Our greatest failing as a species was to think we could conquer nature. We can’t. We are nature. We’re connected to the whole thing. When the land is sick, we are sick. All the sickness and ill health we are currently experiencing is the result of imbalances in the system. We need to get back to homeostasis.

Whereas when you’ve got stock in every paddock, and you’ve got it grazed down really short, the plant roots are very small”.... those little amounts of rainfall ... do nothing in a conventional system because any growth is being grazed immediately, compared to the regenerative system... which allows the plants to grow big, allowing the roots and soil to hold water (my rephrasing). 9:41 Is that Lambs Quarters in the field??? That is one of my favorite greens to nurture for salads, sautéed greens, anything you do with spinach, this plant is better and sturdier!

Its incredibly simple to take care of the Earth but its amazing how many people think that life revolves around glass, concrete and urbanization.

Congratulations in changing how you farms but your still tilling the soil. Thank you for sharing. Go Off-Grid, grow your own food.

These Farmers now 100 times more about our earth, than corrupt politicians, I really have a lot of faith in what people like this are doing

Such a wonderful message, brought tears to my eyes. All my best wishes for Australia and the world from Sweden. (We always buy organic when not Swedish and otherwise preferably locally produced organic or transitioning, and fair trade laballed, naturally! It is more expensive, and sometimes there are scams, but we also have good journalists that expose scammers!) Amy Browne, thank you, and please keep documenting, it is so important!

Geoff Lawton who teaches Permiculture in Australia and around the world shows how to save the water that falls in a desert area. He shows how to have a producing forest. Another person is Allan Savory, whose Ted Talk is on how to reverse desertification and climate change. He admits he was wrong to want Elephants removed and learned that herd animals HELP the land. In America they have found that Buffalo help the grasslands.

This is great, then it got better @ 12:49 when he said my favorite word -- cooperation!💗💕

if you have a chance, please read Dr. Bruce Lipton's Book 'The Biology of Belief' ... actual evolution is explained by this ... unfortunately Charles Darwin didn't live long enough to modify his famous quote 'the survival of the fittest' to 'the survival of the fittest and most co-operative'!

[@thewhittierhousewife3898]

@@keithnajar5802 I appreciate your generous recommendation, and I'll look into it. However, I must confess that I'm a steadfast creationist.😃 In all fairness, I don't think Darwin coined that phrase, I think someone else did. Darwin borrowed it, and in so doing, may have put his own spin on it, because human knowledge/philosophy is ever changing; rarely static.💗
