I can remember exactly the first time that I saw the words in a high school textbook in the late 1960's, stating that *"We, meaning the United States of America, have to feed the world!"* in regards to the *Green Revolution* farming practices that were pioneered here in the United States of America; and that were producing record numbers of bushels per acre of corn and wheat in comparison to the various *5-year Plans* which had failed in the Soviet Union, time after time after time. Fast forward to the mid-1980's when I finally figured out that minimal tillage in my backyard raised bed garden boxes, in conjunction with year-round mulching with nutritient dense shredded hardwood leaves, as well as spacing seeds and transplants closely together so that the mature plants, regardless of the density of their leaf canopy, shaded out the soil as completely as possible, thus reducing moisture loss, and denying weed seeds and seedlings the necessary sunlight to compete with the food plants. *Without realizing it, ALL that I was doing was replicating on a tiny scale what Mother Nature had perfected tens of thousands of years ago with the various prarie ecosystems scattered across North America. Extreme biodiversity coupled with a soil biome that created its own fertility in conjunction with the fertility left behind in the form of urine and dung from the millions of migrating ruminant herbivores that existed in those prarie ecosystems. Those urine and dung deposits, coupled with the crushing action of their hooves, which stimulates plant growth, is what I was unwittingly attempting to duplicate in my small garden. I merely substituted annual heavy additions of the nutrient dense oak and maple leaves collected from unsprayed sources for the dung and urine of the bison, elk, moose, and deer. My yields from that tiny, less than 500 square foot raised bed garden measuring 2 feet deep, were astronomically higher than the yields printed on the seed packets or of the labels of the transplants purchased from garden centers and nurseries.* *Gabe Brown is absolutely correct in that the rest of the world needs to learn how to effectively feed itself. With approximately 50% of every kilocalorie of food grown never making it into the mouths and stomachs of the human beings that it was supposedly grown to feed; we as humanity need to start figuring out how to insure that the food plants and livestock animals currently being grown/raised are properly utilized and not wasted. This mantra that the United States of America is somehow responsible for feeding the entire rest of the planet has led to the terrible consequences of the Green Revolution farming practices which have destroyed the fertility of most of America's soils.*

When i met Gabe Brown, he just had his book out and had it available at the seminar. At the end of the day, i approached Gabe and asked him to sign my book, and when i didn't hand him a copy of his own book, but instead my copy of 'holistic management', he didn't bat an eye. He graciously signed as i requested, and included some amazing words of encouragement. That touched my heart and let me know without a doubt that Gabe is the real deal! I feel very privileged to have learned from him!

I’m in an “I” state, and 200 bushel corn is blowing the doors off, thats with either drip or linear application y drop irrigation. But that’s very short season varieties. 75-85 day. 105-115 is the norm in the area. We grow some open pollinated corn that hits mid 100’s, that is where we really shine, because the prices are more than double that of the organic market.

"Logan Duvall", you make a good point that "People do not change until it start to Hurt": I say, Offer a change that is unimportant to those who want to "wait and see"; IF They take the offer, when the time comes - "It works for them": NOW they are happy to try it when the bottom has fell out and your safety valve proves to be the "Saving Grace": Eg: Have some people buy a "Head Cow or Bull": The Farmer does his thing with the animal and the purchaser in the worst case gets his money back and a profit with the sale. Yes: The Farmer 1 - Does not pay for the cattle, 2 - makes 50% for that head of cattle. But still make 50% of the usual profit: Note the farmer has 90% lower cost of operation.

Logan, I am at the same place. Our medical system is totally broken. It's focus is on only two things, surgery and drugs. Both are about the money. They do not take a wholistic look at health. If they did, there would go all their money and position. I know a woman who is a naturopath and has been doing absolutely amazing things with some very sick people. Some have been sent home from the hospital to either die or with no answers and the only message being, "This is your life now." Probably the biggest thing she has done was to open my eyes. That was quite an accomplishment when she began with a meats and potatoes cowboy who dismissed her. Gabe- another amazing discussion!

Increased profits will get farmers to use these growing methods sooner than affirmations on nutrient density. Farmers need to know about increased profits to encourage them. After they have to make a living. Plus farmers won't have to use these horrible chemicals on their crops which are not good for their health either!!

Gabe, in his Ecosystem series made a convert out of me, got me in contact with Dr. Christine Jones and others, and spawned a continuing deep dive into Regen. Not a minute of which was wasted time. This is the answer to climate change, restoring long term drought and flood damaged zones, feeding the billions with more nutritious foods, relieving farm pressure and as a consequence creating beauty with nature buzzing and flitting everywhere. His most powerful line, _"I'd rather sign the back of a check (cheque) than the front of one."_ This part is private, except for Gabe: The carnivore diet restores health, vitality, energy, brain fogginess, defeats chronic illness and diseases everywhere it is adopted.

Nutrient density is hugely important, but that comes in the seed genetics. Commercial hybrid developments chase yield and transport hardiness not nutrition. Soil health enables land improvements and plant fertility which is awesome, but the research has not linked nutrition to soil, it's in the genes.
@SowingProsperity8 ай бұрын
I must respectfully disagree. Though genetic development plays a role in a plant's characteristics, the nutrient density in plants is significantly influenced by the soil. Nutrients include fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and various metabolites. A mineral's absence in soil directly results in its deficiency in the plant. When glyphosate, a chelator, binds minerals in the soil, these minerals become deficient in the plant. Moreover, if soil lacks microbial life, including fungi, which are crucial for producing metabolites and cofactors, plants may face critical deficiencies. If the theory that genes solely dictate nutrient density were correct, hydroponically grown plants wouldn't need nutrient supplements in their water.
