Joel Salatin: Ending Monocrops, Repurposing Waste, and Feeding Millions

[@lazenbytim]

This guy makes SO much sense. We have the same issue here in the UK, albeit on a smaller scale. the soils are exhausted. I'm personally thinking of getting into this type of farming. Plus I think it would be a great way to educate people one soil and farm management.

[@cne1975]

Crushed volcanic rock is an excellent way of rejuvenating soil the results have to be seen to be believed

[@markplott4820]

Tim - If each Homeowner had their own Produce Garden , compost Area, and a Chicken Coop for Protein , then they could Reduce Household waste and Reduce trips to the Grocery Store. Adding a Earthworm Bin is a good idea too. we need more Urban Farmers.

[@petrocksgarage]

@Det Yelram, while it sounds great to have your own chickens etc, there is a problem of lead poisoning with them. Seriously. In urban environments, the soil has a decent amount of lead in it. The chickens pecking at the ground eat the dirt containing the lead and then transfer that lead to their eggs. Google "home chicken lead poison". There are a bunch of articles and studies on the topic. For some anecdotal evidence, my wife is a Vet and a 8 month pregnant woman brought a couple of her chickens in because of some issues I don't remember. Turned out the chickens were suffering from lead poisoning. The lady had been eating their eggs for breakfast every morning the entire pregnancy and therefor was inadvertently consuming small amounts of lead. Any amount of lead transferred to a baby is bad. I don't know what happened to the lady or baby, but I hope everything turned out ok.

[@mylescahill3963]

I’m in the UK and am also looking into this type of farming. I’m going to start small with my chickens and some veg gardens

[@xoanabeata]

Joel Salatin is a legend and a saint. I love Joe Rogan for having him on

[@mightyquinn18]

Joel's knowledge of agriculture and farming is on a totally different level. He's a freagin genius. Not only is smart but he's a genuinely nice person. I have met him before and I have two close friends work for Polyface Farms. I heard him give a talk on historic US agriculture and he talked about how the US used to be teeming with wildlife and that the bison herds would be miles long.

[@zippydodahquirk9039]

Exactly what I was thinking. We aren't lacking intelligence in the US mainly the ethics and kindness he has. It's a rare combination to have both.

[@CheeerriOH]

Soil degradation is one of those hidden issues everyone should be very worried about in the medium term. Our population is sustained on over-farming practices that use artificial nutrients to grow the crops. That's fine now but what happens when we run out of petroleum. Not even from a climate perspective. There are finite resources that we are burning through to pump out as many crops as possible now to feed our populations. When its gone and we are left with awful soil with no nutrients left it will be a brutal transition back to traditional farming methods without fertilizer.

[@zmanjackson1888]

Farmers are already working on that transition with cover crops. Cover crops are sort of a "gateway drug" into regenerative agriculture. It's a biological disruption to the input dependent system. Here's an article I've written that helps explain things more in depth ourgoodbrands.com/what-is-regenerative-agriculture-why-matters/

[@IAmJacksonHill]

We will never run out of petroleum homie google “Texas”

[@CheeerriOH]

@@IAmJacksonHill You might not. But if you ever have children, they will live to see a time when we run out.

[@thadoc5186]

sutho We will find a different source of energy.

[@IAmJacksonHill]

sutho no, they won’t lol. Again, google “Texas” we have enough oil in America to never hit up the middle east again. We’re not down with fracking- which I agree with... but the idea that we’re running out was thought up just to make you pay the outrages amounts we do for gasoline. We will not run out of petroleum. We Will probably find a different source of energy any who, but if you do any independent research you’ll see it’s clear and obvious U.S.A. could be completely self efficient when it comes to oil. We will not run out of oil, and despite the gospel AOC is preaching we will not die in 10 years from “global warming/aka climate change”

We are ZOE Farms: a family-owned, family-operated farm following globally recognized best practices in producing food the way nature intended. We believe that food, when grown in accordance with the laws of natural systems, can heal our bodies and our lands at the same time. Thank you Joe for this episode!

[@great0789]

I have been a huge fan of Polyface Farms and Joel Salatin for many years now. He is an energetic and intelligent man. I love how well he visualizes patterns of nature and then uses them on his farm. Did you know that he had to re-do his fences at one point because the posts were getting too short?!? Here is why... Through his intensive rotational grazing practices... his grasses were shedding roots deep in the soil at such a high rate that... his topsoil grew extremely rapidly and made his fences short! I am talking thousands of years worth of topsoil grown in just a decade! AMAZING

[@superabbis4021]

That’s Incredible!!

[@delongbear]

THIS GUY IS FANTASTIC! I lived off the wild for a year and a half, foraging everything I ate from nature, I have never been so healthy as I did then. Living with nature is a beautiful thing.

[@hcr32slider]

Thick layers of forest mulch is awesome. My property is full of worms now and my fruit trees are booming

[@EverettBurger]

We don't use fertilizer. We use chicken droppings and straw as a mulch for our soil. Then, we ensure that we grow legumes during the off season to add nitrogen back into the soil. Lastly, we rotate our crops to ensure that we are not planting the same crop each year on the same spot.

As a forester he's oversimplifying managing our forests just so people know. It's necessary to do so because it's such a complex thing but it's not just a harvest or not harvest issue. In reality it's a combination. What he said was correct but I don't want people getting the wrong idea.

Most farmland is devoid of natural nutrients due to farming the same land over and over again. I was told by an agri-consultant that if farmers quit adding the fertilizers to the soil, the soil woule eventually stop allowing any type of plant life to florlurish, including weeds. That's a scary thought.

[@ZSC001]

Wood chips sound nice, but aren’t always what they seem. we got truck loads from the power company for free when they cleared a line near the house, unfortunately now we’ve got some nasty invasive weeds that came with the wood chips and they choke out everything.

[@wadebacca]

Composting them nice and hot eliminates the seeds, but then you don’t have mulch anymore, just compost.

[@dustinjohnson7728]

The point of the wood chips is to be used as deep bedding to absorb animal waste. Bacteria from the animal's digestive system start the process of breaking down the wood chips, the animals trample, scratch, and turn up the wood chips which aerates it and before long you have turned a ton of wood chips into nitrogen and carbon rich compost that you can spread on your garden beds before you plant. I used the same method when I was raising chicks in my brooder. I didn't clean out the brooder til the chicks were out on the run, I just added another layer on top of the previous. I never had a smelly brooder and when my chicks were grown I'd scoop out the chips and turned it over to make compost for my raised beds.

[@gettintherejanice6216]

if we our kitchen scraps we reduce our landfill waste dramaticly reduce the need to the egg industry. which reduces the corn. freeing the land for it to be for grass fed cows. that can regenerate the land. I love your farm modle and I believe there are a handful of farms adopting your principles but how can we get a big company that can really make an impact on the food system to overhaul there system its regenerative so in therory it should ultamitely improve there bottomline. we need this. I think small scale grass roots anyone who can doing what they can but ultimatly we will need the bigger or several medium sized farms to switch to this modle to make up for all the people who live in apartments and for whatever reason are either not able to do anything or do very little.

[@Hairygranny]

yep i have 3 chickens and i don't need to buy eggs and they eat all the scraps

[@lukey6534]

Cattle take nitrogen and phosphorus out of what they eat. You get the nitrogen back growing legumes that take nitrogen out of the air via bacteria on the roots of the legume. The phosphorus will still have to be added in some form. Superphosphate or rock phosphate are the most obtainable.

[@SouthernGothicYT]

I don't think families having chickens would "eliminate" the egg industry, but surely will force it to shrink. Think about it: hens get old and stop laying, or you have to wait for them to mature and lay their first egg. I grew up on a poultry farm, I should know. Not to mention, other industries like restaurants would have to rely on factories especially when usually health codes don't allow restaurants to farm their own produce on site without jumping through hoops with licenses and such.

Good points to consider. The points on foliage and water retention are worthy of discussion. Chainsaw's and Chippers would extremely difficult to manage on the scale he suggests. Also, pasture land needs direct sunlight to grow the grasses, being under the umbrella of trees (even though spaced apart enough to allow uncompeted growth), it will not grow but turn into compacted dirt. Also, after 150 years (or so) of "traditional" farming, yields have never been higher.

Carbon base, carbon is plant food, it is good in the earth, good in the air. There is no climate crisis.

[@bobcheese427]

Carbon isn't the main growth-limiting factor in soils, it's nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK). The carbon in plants comes from photosynthesising carbon dioxide molecules to oxygen, not the soil. I don't think he realises he's adding NPK (fertiliser) to the soil by adding composted woodchip.

[@wadebacca]

He most certainly does realize it. He was saying that carbon in the soil is key to its health, when he said they don’t fertilize he was talking about inputting outside fertility. He’s making his own by supplementing in the NPK in manure.
