Soil is Life - Part III Inspiration from a beautiful Italian Regenerative Farm

[@monicacruz4407]

Wonderful to see children growing up learning all this. There is some of this going on in Spain, as you know, more and more people realizing that this kind of thoughtful, regenerative approach creates better, nutrient dense food. Supermarket food has no flavor but more importantly, little nutritional value, people are seeking out properly grown stuff, or growing it themselves. Mulberry leaves 24% protein, News to me, I’ll plant some more varieties, thank you for that and your inspiring films 🙏💚👏

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

We live in the city and it was an eye opener how well developed these kids are in every sense. We made various videos also in Spain. I can share links if you want

[@monicacruz4407]

@@STORYTRAVELERS i’ve seen your Spanish film, also fantastic. It’s harder in Spain, people are naturally more conservative, stuck in their ways, if only they realised they are stuck in the recent past, not the ancestral way, perhaps there would be more of a shift. Fact is the Mar Menor is toxic, and Almeria and other industrial scale agricultural centres are just pumping out toxic crops to make short term money. It’s shameful the government allows this mafia , but as with everywhere, there are no governments or countries just facilitators and big business, and we allow it because most of us are too tired or too sick. Films like yours make a difference 🙏

@@monicacruz4407 yes I hear you, unfortunatley our system is addicted to petrochemical inputs, a vicious circle spriralling down. In the political debate you hear close to nothing about regenerative practices of agriculture. It's still merely capital driven while capital eventually is virtual, the real capital is soil :)

Great job Matteo and Paola, you are the hope, the seeds to grow for saving our land, our soil. I do hope to visit you soon, I live close to Iseo lake. This year I started to grow vegetable in my little vegetable garden using permacultura and synergical principles. I do hope you all the best and lot of farmers to follow your way of living and taking care of the soil. 👍👍👍👍

Inspring! Wwe need more of this in the UK. Our land is so degraded

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Thank you for wathcing. There's some examples in the UK, but way too little as yet

[@monicacruz4407]

Do you know of Knepp? One successful rewilding venture. Inspiring to go visit…

[@fortissimoX]

Well, we need this everywhere!

[@infiniteadam7352]

Just remember every pound or dollar we spend cast a vote for this or for chemicals and destruction of our land and inevitably ourselves...live accordingly. Once 51% of us get to a point where we are making conscious decisions the rest of the world will follow. That means that all of our choices matter, maybe we are so close and just almost there, maybe my or your choices today will tip the scale. Watch the documentary "I Am" that explains how that works, referring to the 51% thing.

Really lovely. I love the way they are trying things out to mimic nature. So exciting. But what an incredibly beautiful place to live. Those children are so lucky to have that life.

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

It really is!

[@erikk7277]

So inspirational, this videos should have millions of views! It provides the key concepts to stop desertification expansion and save water for the upcoming droughts. You should definitely make a TED Talk, so we can thrive together in a more sustainable way.

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Thank you for you positive comment, Mateo should definitely go for a TED. this matter is of live saving importance

[@JaguwarSims]

This is absolutely fantastic. This is how we should be stewards of the Earth. Beautiful, thank you!

Hello from South Africa. My goodness I enjoyed this series. Watched all of 3 back to back and I'm left breathless and in awe of this family and their farm.

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Wonderful you took the effort watching all three!

[@fortissimoX]

Amazing and inspiring! I wish you all the best, and I hope there will be much more farms like yours everywhere!

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Thank you hope so too!

[@marykappesser5145]

What an amazing system. So much for other to learn from. Great video. Thanks for sharing

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Thank you Mary, glad you appreciate it so much!

[@storiesfromthecascina]

thoroughly enjoyed watching this soil is life series! such inspiring work they are doing on this farm, and with so much love!

[@shawnueda8909]

Thank you for spreading the idea of regenerative, permaculture, biodynamic form of farming. Conventional ag is not sustainable! We too own and operate a farm. We are permaculture based and it warms my heart to see videos like this. Gives me hope instead of being an oddity. Input $$ from this style of farming is significantly reduced because we don't buy industrially made fertilizer such as anhydrous ammonia, rock phosphate, herbicides, fungicide, insecticide etc.

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Glad you appreciate it, pioneers like you point the wordl into the right direction

[@papaherms63]

This is amazing and fascinating. Respect to all of you. You all look so happy and contented with life.

Incredible, thank you!

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

You're very welcome!

[@suzannefronzaglio2427]

Such a beautiful productive and serene location for this wonderful farm and homestead. The lake in the background is stunning, what lake is that and do you have access to it (for fishing and whatever)??

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Thanks for the comments, It's lago Iseo in Italy, accessible for leasure

[@TheVigilantStewards]

Really enjoyed learning from these three videos, very impressed with his knowledge and implementation of design.

[@partidaportet27]

This guy is my hero. Awesome love love love it

[@tanyahempstead9119]

Great video. I hope we see more of this type of farming around the world.

[@courtneyheron1561]

Fantastic work!!! Thank you! 🙏❤️

Dit is baie interresant hoe hierdie woord oor die hele wêreld versprei , ja ek boer in Namibia en pas dit ook nou al 20 jaar toe.

[@leslieoscar]

Wonderful

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Glad you appreciate it Leslie!

[@sarahtrew9331]

Would be interested to know how he determines the spacing on the hexagonal planting system for the different plants

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Yes interesting question because every plant has a different planting distance

[@jackstone4291]

Yep. He guesses. They’re crammed in. All fine. If it’s good healthy soil then No worries and watche them grow!

[@CatherineandRob]

Hexagonal spacing distances for many veggies are covered in John Jeavons classic “how to grow more vegetables.”

[@sarahtrew9331]

@@CatherineandRob thank you 😊

[@soilbellefarm3710]

Yes!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@greenbote]

cool

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Thank you for watching :)

[@asadsultani1770]

[@wendyrussell4191]

Animals are not pollinators, insects are

[@STORYTRAVELERS]

Agree, in some case enaimals can help spreading seeds though
