First, heal the soil | Allen Williams | TEDxBoston

[@StewartFarmApiary]

I was fortunate to meet Dr. Williams in Starkville, MS at the local farmers market two summers ago. The 15 minute conversation I had with him has made a huge difference on our 60 acre farm. I took just a small piece of his advice and tried it - the results were amazing. He is well worth the time to listen to his approaches in farming.

[@kyleclark5290]

Interesting how they flagged this video and Allen has a PhD from LSU and 400+ published articles. I'd say he's an expert in the field.

[@aimeemoran7549]

It *might* be because he seemed to be fundraising in the last couple of minutes, which would be clearly out of bounds, rather than questioning his science. Just a guess, though.

[@YVM3311]

I’ve become skeptical of Ted flagging . They have flagged several presentations that simply fall beyond high tech and big pharma and some other fascinating talks… even TED has developed a “standard paradigm” unfortunately

[@YVM3311]

Regen farming techniques receives a lot of back lash from the bio chemicals companies , fertilizer herbicide companies which makes billions and billions paid via the the farmers thru governmental subsidies…the bio chemicals are the big pharma of Ag , and they do not like The regenerative movement … money always speaks higher..

[@YVM3311]

Simple effective message . We need more and more on this. Rebuilding top soil needs to becomes a national priority and every farmer top priority as well.. all else will fall in place

[@B01]

​@@YVM3311 there are meetings at the highest level of Government (if you can't feed your troops you can't defend country)

this is something that ACTUALLY saves our plant. Support regenerative

“More life in the soil, means more like above the soil. Period.” “Soil restoration is the genesis of ecosystem restoration” “Soil is the foundation of all life” “Farming and ranching in sync with nature“ - Allen Williams This 10mins TEDx talk given by Allen is inspiring, motivational, and leaves you full of hope and looking forward to a better more harmonious future with rich soils, healthy ecosystems and abundant nutrient dense food.

Thank god for people like you. I am working towards regenerative grazing. Trying to get my water lines runs.

[@TiffanyNelson-ix1bq]

I sat through one of Allen's Regenerative Ag classes that was hosted in Western Oklahoma about 8 years ago.. Very boots on the ground and knowledgeable!

[@billmilliot5752]

"Statements in this talk have been challenged by scientists working in this field." That's rich, given that the study of the impact on soil from conventional and/or industrial agriculture is fairly new. TED, all of your talks are personal interpretations. That's why they're TED "Talks" to begin with. Also, no one has refuted the findings in the studies he refers to at the end of the presentation.

[@KimClark-1]

His recent discussion on Advancing Eco Agriculture podcast was awesome! Nice to see him spreading good news.

[@stylingsa7954]

Awesome so glad this brilliant man is on tedtalks Love from South Africa

[@etiennelouw9244]

I remember being taught about not over grazing land in primary school over here in South Africa.

[@timdavis9268]

And thats why South Africans and Zimbabweans are the best grazing managers (in my opinion)

[@jasonrashidnia]

Why didn't TedX put the link to his regenerative agriculture education in the description?

[@W4DSolutions]

Hey Tedx Talks, maybe in that awful note you posted add actual links to the data you're saying disputes his claims?? Because that seems only fair.

[@ruceblee969]

I want to know the EXACT reason why this video is flagged. But we won't know. It is evident that Ted Talk is also captured.

[@Marilou-g5t]

who funds Tedx that they flag this?

[@Marilou-g5t]

Everything i have heard Allen say in many interviews is logical. Tedx must be bought and paid for by BIG AG, BIG PHARMA, or some other entity which wants to keep farmers poor and cheap superprocessed food-like substances in the stores, rather than wholesome nutrient dense foods.

[@marlan5470]

Big Ag funds most ag schools and laboratories. So if students get to listen to Mr. Allen's words and do the math, the students will use less of their products.

[@Marilou-g5t]

@@marlan5470 big pharma paid for the milk quality class i was in with 2 vets and a vet tech about 15 years ago. Allen has a PhD, i believe in genetics. He has a great discussion on epigenetics! He is a 5th or 6th generation farmer, too. 100,000 Beating Hearts shows how big chem sold fertilizers to farmers after the 2nd ww. A graph on Steve Kenyon's youtube shows farmer vs big ag profits. Regen ag threatens all the big businesses and benefits the farmer and the farm's communities!

[@drakechampion4064]

I do know the leftist climate alarmists hate regenerative ag and men like Allen Williams and Gabe Brown because their findings debunk the climate change narrative pushed by the left and the media. Also, they are followers of Christ and they really hate that.

[@B01]

​@@Marilou-g5t I'm a soil consultant and soil microbiologist, he is completely correct and is FAR from the only one spreading this important message. Dr. Elaine Ingham, Gabe Brown, Dr. Christine Jones, Nicole Masters, Ray Archuletta, Dr. James F White, Dan Kittredge, I'd like to see them debunk those legends as well if they think Regen AG isn't science based

[@marlan5470]

TedxTalks is seriously MEDIOCRE flagging this talk. 💩💩💩💩💩

[@spooky_43]

So, the reason this video is flagged is because "Statements in this talk have been challenged by scientists working in this field". Care to provide those statements? Or links to these statements? How about just the people that are making these statements? Dont make claims you cant back up, TEDx

[@bencouragedalways]

Boo, TEDX. Yeah for the speaker that knows what he is talking about!!!
