Can regenerative agriculture scale?

In this video, we'll explore the potential for regenerative agriculture to scale and how it could help address food security issues around the world with expert Farmer Paul of PastureBird.
Regenerative agriculture is a growing movement that uses natural systems to produce food. In this video, we'll explore the potential for regenerative agriculture to scale and how it could help address food security issues around the world. We'll also discuss the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for this exciting new approach to food production.

I’ve been following your journey for many years now ever since I saw your farm on Justin Rhodes Farm Tour. As a fellow Marine, I applaud what you’ve accomplished and hope to one day follow in your footsteps.

[@bhavens9149]

Miss you from California, But so glad you're doing so well!

[@ceselb]

You've come a long way since I saw you on Justin Rhodes channel. We even have someone doing a similar setup my country, in the form of Ridgedale Farms by Richard Perkins.

[@ValeriaVincentSancisi]

He should write his own farm book. Good to see an articulate talented farmer making a difference .. "Beautiful Synergies" maybe it will out yield the conventional and make that way redundant . That is a distinct possibility just for sheer efficiencies alone. So go for doing rad stuff! I would love to see an animal integrated crop land at scale. Looking forward to it. I can't wait

[@chrisconklin2981]

Thank you for the presentation. May I call your attention to an older documentary titled: "King Corn". One issue is that a vast amount of corn goes to high fructose corn syrup for soft drinks. My interest is bread making and the return of the corner bakery. I guess that Regeneration is reorientation.

[@marlan5470]

A large amount of corn also goes to ethanol.

Awesome, so inspiring

What happens as the birds get older and move slower?

[@joshuabauman3209]

Central Valley would make more sense in CA than down in SoCal.

[@Bennie32831]

Yes

[@niccolealdrich4890]

I would love just ONE of those coops! How many birds are in that size? Buying land soon in MI- that's my dream chicken coop lol

[@leelindsay5618]

6 thousand...he mentioned it multiple times

[@tao.of.history8366]

anyone have thoughts about partnering with landowners who want to go pesticide free but are worried about weeds - rotate chickens onto the land every couple of years to rebuild soil & eat the weeds

[@jamesofallthings3684]

Can we do things locally and not have to monopolize everything into massive corporate entities that don't care about anything except green paper/ones and zeros?

Why did pasture bird sell the rights to the brand in Georgia to Purdue

[@RegenerativeFarmersofAmerica]

Pasturebird was purchased by Perdue but the original owner still works the company and is focused on scaling pasture poultry with Purdue

[@planetbob4709]

@@RegenerativeFarmersofAmerica I am really interested in the regenerative Ag growth here in Georgia. It is encouraging to find you guys are still in the mix here in Georgia. I am looking forward to when the operation here in Georgia starts doing educational tours. I am very interested to see more data on soil health, animal health and nutrition of the final product. I really want to see a big ag company like Perdue buy in whole heatedly to the regenerative ag trend and prove this works at the big ag kind of scale and not just trying to earn some green wash points.

[@debbyengland7512]

How often are the cages moved, what kind of loss is experienced with a full move?

[@RegenerativeFarmersofAmerica]

Cages are moved multiple times a day. No losses because they move so slowly.

[@vivalaleta]

Make corporate farming illegal.

[@selectbrands]

That would make Pasturebird illegal. They are owned by Perdue which does about $8 Billion in revenue annually.

[@vivalaleta]

@@selectbrands There's a way out - Pasturebird becomes their own entity. Nothing too large is tolerated and monopolies are outlawed again.

[@selectbrands]

@@vivalaleta Pasturebird chased the money and Perdue has more money than all of the regenerative ag farms in the U.S. combined. That's the larger problem. Money buys politicians and politicians create the policy -- so they certainly not going to outlaw the companies that are also funding their campaigns. 80 to 90% of small farmers in the U.S. rely on income outside of the farm to exist. The laws and policies have nearly wiped out small farming as a viable occupation. In fact, many farmers make more money taking government money NOT to farm their land. Whenever a small outfit does well, an industrial ag company comes in and buys them out or puts them out of business. In American, food has become almost entirely industrial and it's just making us sicker, fatter, and more dependent on big government and big government is funded by big corporations. 70% of what is in the grocery store comes from corn, wheat, or soy. No small farmer can compete with the industrial farms producing those types of crops for Cargill, Kelloggs, General Mills, etc. The meat market is also run nearly entirely by unscrupulous global giants like JBS. You can't make corporate farming illegal when farming in America is nearly entirely corporate farming now. It's a very big problem. How do you overcome greed and corruption at the highest levels of government and industry?

[@vivalaleta]

@@selectbrands Buddy, your dismal point of view was drilled into you by the system that exists. It's absolutely factual but there's a way to make farmers rich, doing less work, repairing the soil, making farm animals lives better and doing much with little rainfall. Gabe Brown, Allen Williams, Ray Archuleta - farmers like these trying to spread the good news. Running a farm this way will save it and it can be done anywhere using different techniques. Even large, industrial farms are experiencing droughts and worn out soil conditions that no amount of petrol fertilizers can fix.

[@vivalaleta]

@@selectbrands Also I don't see making corporate anything illegal at this point in time.

Power corrupts

[@chrismanspeaker9372]

So, after 3min and 19sec of this, I can tell you all, it cannot be done at scale. If it could be, they wouldn't have had to move across country for "cheap" whatever. And secondly, we are adding 25% more people to the planet in next 25-30 years. We already use ~44% of the available land surface for food. Anything that reduces yield/output from the land is not going to scale or work to feed 10 billion people. This method is great for soils and small family farms, it just will not scale.

[@RegenerativeFarmersofAmerica]

Bummed you couldn't watch and see the potential. You can also see our other videos showing it done large scale for other types of farming

[@AlanShirtsink]

Not with MBA buzz words like”scale”. Why don’t you just say grow? Having created many successful businesses over the last 40 years there are only two ways to make a business larger. The first is the true desire to do it and the second is to provide a better value for your customers. Anything else is just bs and babbling
