NOTE to anyone filming speakers - If the speaker is showing slides, PLEASE spend at least 2/3rds of the time on the slides, NOT the speaker. In this presentation, viewers cannot even SEE many of the slides at all. As cute as Gabe is... we can learn more from what he is trying to show us than by looking at him. That said, THANK YOU for posting this presentation!

Am I the only one to notice that farmers need to know as much as lawyers, programmers, engineers and scientists? I listen to this kind of stuff very frequently, and despite my best efforts, starting from the ground up (no pun intended) I find that there is still an infinity to learn. There are a number of subjects that I talk about, but this is what really gets my yayas off. At the end of such a video, I feel inspired, invigorated and the world becomes a bright, shiny new place. It is the same feeling I had as a small child. Maybe that's a clue as to what I should be doing. Now, all I have to do is figure out what to do with winter.

This should be made available on all long haul Flights.

There is so much hope in this path. Never stop spreading this message tell everyone you know about this

I used to be into circus and dance videos, life changes, this is my favorite video on the internet

I created a thriving garden out of hard clay...just place a lot of discarded vegetables, sometimes fruits, on the land. The discards come from the local market where merchants will throw out what they cannot sell or those that are discolored, etc. Free. Zero cost, gave me good excercise daily as I lugged home some 20kg. After 12 months it is thriving with some 40 species of plants were donated, migrated in from elsewhere. Birds, bees, spiders, earthworms, geckos, snails, etc. Even an occasional monitor lizard. I live in Singapapore, hot, humid, sunny. No till, no pesticide and the plants sort themselves out and reach for the sunlight. I trim some so that they do not crowd out others. Nature is fun.

Look at how many people he was speaking to, maybe 50, 60. Look at how many people watched this video. 67,000 THIS is the power of the new printing press. youtube combined with mobile devices and high speed wifi. Let's all video record, with permission, anyone who has expertise on this subject and does a great presentation, adn upload them , so that more people can learn and educate themselves and we can bring about the age of aquarius and the return of eden.

For Farmers out there who actually wish to replicate Gabe Brown's success, you literally have to go through a sort of therapy of deprogramming from the industrial business model and first understand how nature installs and maintains all of it's ecosystems around the globe. The same basic fundamentals and principles work universally. For example, when purchasing a pouch or bag of mycorrhizal fungi, don't expect it to be some quick fix magical dust that will poof profit that first season. You MUST gradually build up the soil health through cover cropping with plants that are truly mycorrhizal colony hosting, not with ruderal plants like Radish, Canola, Mustards, etc which ONLY thrive in a bacterial system. The soil has to be gradually built up, much the way Gabe intelligently illustrated a drug addicted must slowly be weaned off heroin. I think people often miss that very important point.

Brilliant! And I see no reason all these principles can not be applied to the home gardeners operations, or small farm, too. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

My back yard is about a 1/3 acre. I.m thinking of turning the whole thing into a garden after watching this! Monsanto must not like this guy! The most important point Gabe made is that we need to work with nature not against it. It has always amazed me how much time, effort, and money we spend on having a nice green lawn. Imagine if every American yard was producing food instead of pretty green grass.

I could listen to Gabe Brown speak all day!

Thank you Gabe Brown for creating something that moms can be happy to feed their family. I learned a lot listening to this. Now I need to go out and get some dirt under a ground cover.

I would like to personally thank Gabe Brown and everyone who helped him develop this system. I am not from a farm neither is any of my family so when I decided to go to school and become a farmer it seemed more and more like it just wasn't possible to start from nothing but by using this system to build healthier soils, it might just be possible to be successful.

I'm not a farmer but I love Gabe Brown. Listening to what he has to say gives me some hope for the planet.

I am not a farmer but enjoy learning things of nature for my own entertainment. I enjoyed your entire video and have no doubt of your methods effectiveness. I hope all other farmers will follow in your footsteps.

*I love that he refers to Nature as "Her'. Well done, Mr. G... 🥰

I am convinced that we must work on several fronts in order to produce the food needed for 7 billion people in a regenerative way. First, let’s start with the idea that we already produce (conservatively estimated) twice the amount of food needed to feed everyone on the planet. Production isn’t the main issue, localization and distribution is. Secondly, we need to educate consumers to make healthful choices that will regenerate their own bodies. This will shift demand, to a degree, in order to deal with the economics of our food system. Thirdly, we have to get at scale in order to regenerate the landscape on a level that will have the requisite positive impact in 2-3 generations. As several NRCS experts I am aware of point out, and something they deal with on a daily basis, we can’t preach from a soap box at American farmers and think we’re going to convince them to change their ways. We have to approach the American farmer as a partner in making needed changes in agriculture and not an enemy or obstacle. We must stop vilifying the majority of American farmers who are simply trying to earn a good living for their families, send their children to college, and save for retirement. Why must we partner with them? Scale is why. We who are permaculture enthusiasts are not going to change the actual landscape to sequester enough carbon, regenerate enough soil, and purify enough water if we’re doing it 10-20 acres at a time. Yes, many people have had a change of heart about their own personal lives this way, but this pace of change won’t ramp up to the scale we need for this planet. If so, the needed change would have already taken place because tens of thousands of people are PDC certified. This is only a part of the total equation. To get at the larger part of the equation, we must convince the owner or tenant of the broadacre landscape - the “conventional” farmer - to look through a different lens in order to view their landscapes differently. The key to gaining their attention is to demonstrate to them in real and actual examples, that they can increase their profitability by adopting a new approach to agriculture. Even operations such as Joel Salatin’s or Mark Shepard’s aren’t at enough scale to make the changes needed to reverse the negative effects. But, their operations are examples of a model that’s working to produce a good income while being largely regenerative. Rather, I’d look to the farmers that Raymond Covino and Ray Archuleta are helping to make changes to adopt polyculture no-till cover crop systems with a diverse cash crop that include animals in the matrix. Gabe Brown is a prime example of someone who is stewarding thousands of acres with such a system. He is outcompeting his neighbors in productivity and profitability while holding water in the soil, eliminating synthetic inputs, building soil, sequestering carbon all while securing a future for his family. We can make this happen, in my opinion, if we don’t lose the key audience in the dialog of regenerative agriculture - the conventional American farmer.

2024 and this is relevant, vital content. Many thanks!🤗💚🌱✨

Thank you so much for this extermely important information. This info will be incorperated into our farming operations here in central Texas. It confirms a lot of the research that we have been doing, but it also takes it too a new level. Our farm team looks forward to a visit to the Brown ranch at some point in the foreseeable future. May God continue to bless all of your hard work and your sharing of this wonderful knowledge which make so much common sense. Thanks again

One of the best talks I have seen in a long time! Congrats Gabe on reaching 11% OM on one plot!

Absolutely the best

Great information, I have clay soil and I’ve have amended it with compost and wood chips. I also have been adding microbes. Finally, my fruit trees and vegetables are taking off. The soil is so soft now I can dig with a shovel! Great video!

This is inspirational! I enjoyed this video so much!

Gabe you are brilliant sir. Respect to you, keep pushing this message, i believe by doing what you are especially the way your doing it will eventually change the world.

Wow! Thank you. This is GREAT!

This video is gold. Thank you for sharing Gabe Brown's knowledge.

I've been trying what principles I can in my backyard seems to be working phenomenally. My cats also love all the new hiding spots.

Amazing talk. Just wish that all the slides had been shown. That was very frustrating.

I could listen to you talk all day!!!!❤️

Thank you for taking the time to upload this.

Mr Gabe Brown is the messiah for all Farmers. One the theeeeeeeeeee best videos on Carbon Farming.

Finally- a farmer who understands how economical using tried and true cover crop planting can be! He's also increasing nutrition by using nature's method of fertilizing! Bravo! I hope he gets the message out worldwide of how easily we can eradicate hunger and the effects of drought on crops by improving the soil. Imagine feeding people, cattle, and chickens with one field! Wake up Agricultural Colleges!

Completely fascinating, and strangely logical. Glad there are folks out there who think like Gabe.

Fantastic speaker, so glad I found this. I just watched another video the other day that spoke about less plants, wider apart to help with moisture and I kept thinking, this is so wrong. Looking forward to starting my fields off right.

Thanks for making this video, I appreciate it.

23:19 - Neil Dennis actually runs up to a million pounds of livestock per acre (not a million head). Just in case this is not obvious to some listeners, Gabe meant to say 'pounds'.

I love to see this happening.. it makes us all better.

looks like 5 monsanto employees said they don't like this.....

Your talk on Building an healthy soil, I love the order on how you produce good crops.

Heal the world... Deep.. Thanks

Great soil health video

Fantastic information. From a backyard garden farming to a broad acre farming, this is what we all need to learn to understand. Working with Nature = Healthy Soils. Knowledge + Action is Power. Thank you for sharing :-)

Loved this talk - thank you so much Gabe Brown, it was indeed inspiring and so full of helpful ways to see what can positively happen to counter all the gloom and doom. I also wanted to say to Transcend Productions that I really, really wanted to see the image of the comparison of Gabe's farm's egg nourished by the his wholesome healthy soil vs that of a commercial egg production facility, regardless of the name it is sold under. Being a visual person, to me an image is worth 100 words and I'm sure just the yellow of the yolk from healthy soil would be startling! Perhaps you might consider attaching it to the end or insert the full photo somewhere. Thanks again! P.S. I'm thinking of having an organic Harvest Dinner in October and afterwards, sharing this film. - Bon Appétit : )

Incredible!!! Fantastic presentation!

Annoying that the camera is aimed so low on the screen. I want to see the pictures.

Impressive Gabe.. well done for taking a leap of faith or a dash of madness those years back..

Great talk.

Great content, although editing was quite disappointing if this video was actually made by a production company. You would think that the slides should be shown when the presenter is pointing out specific portions of the slides, but far too often we were shown a side view of the presenter at those times.

I so wish that all his slides had been visible. Great video, though! Thank-you from Littlehampton in England!

Wow, that was the most compelling and positive hour of information I have ever heard. If there were time in his administration I would petition President Obama to award this man the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I am contemplating sending this link to my Congressional delegation, and perhaps every member of the U.S. Congress. Solving Global Warming and the Healthcare Crisis, Truly here it is! This posting needs 10 million hits.

I'm inspired-and hopeful for our future!

Thank you for the video...

Excellent. Learned a lot from this.

Thank you

The big take away for me is "add life to your soil"...makes sense to not use synthetics to do this.

Learning so much!

The fact that Gabe Brown has neibours who are fortunate enought to have him as a neibour and Gabe is more then will to work side by side with them and yet they look the other way, and keep signing the front of the checks, that just shows that no matter the evidence people still refuse to believe there is another way to farm.

great speech

39:42 absolute gold

I am so glad that I watched the Netflix documentary and learn more and more everyday. Thanks a lot for the information. The more farmers know, the more they will realize to stop using this junk product of RoundUp, which is killing our soils. God bless!

Learned a lot from your video thank u.

Wow. I am totally impressed by your logic. Wonder how your cover system could be incorporated into desert areas with where flood or furrow irrigation is dominant. Thanks for the great video!

I have seen alot of his videos and this one by far is the most detailed for understanding. It could be more but I'm just being picky :)

Excellent!!!

I'm having a go at growing veg in my backyard that was formally something that would be a code violation in the U.S. I've dug the soil to remove bindweed and brambles and nettles making raised beds then reading the backs of all the seed packs following the long convoluted slowing, potting on, planting. And then I thought how would nature deal with this? So my plan from now on it cultivated wildness... I want to get to a place I'm not importing soil improvers other than seeds. My food waste is so low composting is done by digging a hole next to greedy plants. I was out watering the ground with tap water and thought this can't be good for soil health, I'm pouring chlorine over my soil. So watching things like this further add to my understanding. I'm a novice but very keen to transform my small patch of land to do my bit. I'm also hoping to use it as an example of how things can be even in an urban environment.

It would be nice to see the slides.

Very practical and educative.

INCREDIBLE!

For those who want to see more, watch the documentary "Kiss The Ground". It is very well worth your time. Mr. Brown is featured in it. It is a beautifully done documentary. I also recommend "The Need To Grow" and "The Biggest Little Farm".

This video makes me want to start farming (again).

55:49 THANK YOU!!!

i really enjoyed the presentation. nerded out on it a bit

You know you're watching too many Holistic Management videos when you watch North By Northwest, and instead of thinking "I hope that plane doesn't shoot Cary Grant" you find yourself thinking "don't think much of that farmer's soil management techniques"

This guy is a Legend

This is a concise description of what needs to be done to create a sustainable food chain. I hope the ag bill finally reflects this reality.

Great presentation, to dedication of life sourcec

Incredible

this is exactly what schallenberger talked about, thanks for sharing. worth 5 :)

Very interesting!

impressive! real true blue farmer!!!

How the fuck was this posted 7 years ago but we still have millions of acres of conventional farms in the US?

Thanks buddy for sharing ...i like ur accent as well😀

"we have to fail every year" GREAT! That's the real precision agriculture with a lots of "nano"tech inside.

Thanks.......................................................

Right out of David R Montgomery's book Growing a Revolution.

SO BOSS SO REAL

(I AM ORGANIC GARDENING) sent me over! Great Video!

I was struck by your slide where you were planting into a no-till field and you were careful about even the smallest breaking of soil. How do you plant those cocktails of seeds without breaking the soil?

"We have a motto on our operation. We like to sign the back of the check and not the front."

Thank you for sharing this VALUABLE INFORMATION ((Now, to APPLY this to my own Lil Farm and its problem weed and erosion areas)) Thank you from this New Worm Farmer #Vermicomposting #RegenerationFarming

Good soil video

I'd love to know if when you speak of multi-species cover crops and keeping the armor on the soil at all times. Do you need to seed those acres each time or do you let those cover crops reseed themselves?

Good stuff. I grew up in Iowa the son of a grocer . I always wished I could have farmed. No land for a guy to have now. The commercial farmers have bought it all up. Who has 10k to spend on an acre! Maybe in my next life.

Water which is too pure has no fish. While thinking about this subject one day I wondered how Rufus meant "Even the dirt is clean." on Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. 🤣

Is that cocktail planting for cover crop or harvesting? If harvesting, that must be one confusing mix to sort out. Or, is it individual rows of that cocktail assortment ?

Love the content. My only complaint is instead of showing the man and the stage and a tiny bit of the slide on the screen beside these man, show the screen and maybe part of the man!

Does anyone knows who record or upload the video? I am wondering how come the video has such a good quality and sound and it's a bit more than 200 MB.

Amazing chat! Great to reduce fertilizers, water usage, etc. And if you cut out the processed foods, meat, dairy and oil you will get lean, have amazing health benefits and reduce healthcare costs, climate change from animal agriculture and so many other benefits.

Gabe Brown was wonderful to listen to, very informative. However, the video was crap. I can listen to him and still look at the slides, felt like I missed seeing some good images.

At 56 minutes I wanted to see the eggs but the editor wanted me to see a stage floor.
