FARMERS ARE CHANGING THE WORLD, RESTORING THEIR SOIL BY CONVERTING TO REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE.
For over 70 years farmers have been pressured to make agriculture and food production more and more industrialised.
‘Soils are disturbed so intensively that the earth literally moves, causing massive degradation, flooding, water pollution and erosion.’
We have been losing land area, essentially from erosion at the rate of about 10 million, 7 - 10 million hectares per year, which is almost the size of Portugal.
All over the world farmers are developing an alternative system to regenerate soil instead of eroding it. To protect and increase water retention by covering with mulch and by growing continuous diverse crops, without tilling or ploughing. It’s called Conservation Agriculture or no-till farming.
Be a part of the revolution, OUR SOILS NEED YOU.

It's unproductive to look at regenerative agriculture as a "movement" - it is a set of technologies. It's not about being a "tree huger" or "Gaia worshiper" - it's just about being a rational farmer. Just like there are other reasons for getting rid of fossil fuels then their impact on climate.

@Ptitnain2 3 жыл бұрын

I agree. Mob grazing, agroforestery, wind-break, all existed prior to those marketable names such as permaculture, regenerative, etc... Those techniques if not use properly for a given environment won’t work...

If you want to change the world, you have to demonstrate that it's profitable to do so. Otherwise people will just stay in their old tracks. I think the carrot is far more motivating than the whip.

@bazoo513 3 жыл бұрын

@@Trezker Different people have different motivations, but, yes, profit is a great incentive, the only one in "corporate world". Why else would oil companies find sudden interest in renewable energy sources? (Sadly, this interest has two components: realization that the race for the biggest slice of renewables cake has started, but also that in many (most) places the problem of wind and solar intermittency has not been solved, so natural gas peakers can be "reasonably" promoted as "the solution".)

12.5% is now a significant figure for regenerative agriculture globally. It will continue to flourish because lower input costs mean higher profitability for farmers instead of agrochemical corporations. The writing is on the wall, just as it has been for energy from fossil fuels once renewable energy became cheaper. This is truly a revolution from the ground up. Have faith and confidence that this is a better way.

That's great idea but you need to realise that most of no-till farmers use glyphosate in their operations. I rather focus on regenerative organic system. As Jeff Moyer said: I rather plow my land if I have to spray to be no-till. Regenerative means regenerative, spraying chemicals isn't regenerative at all, even if it's small amounts.

@greatdane3343 3 жыл бұрын

Check out some of Ian and Di Haggerty's results around the rapid breakdown of chemicals in a healthy soil food web that is not disrupted by plowing. If the only thing we accept as "good" is perfection, we will forever be unsuccessful. Every step in the right direction is positive, challenge yourself not to be negative about people who are making improvements.

@@greatdane3343Thank you for your comment. For me No-till is just a tool not a solution. There are many more like: agroforestry, alleycropping, rotational grazing, pasture cropping, striptill, mintill, above that is holistic management and what is more important: consciousness.

In most cases ploughing is far more damaging to soil than herbicide. Herbicides can also be buffered with a carbon source to make them break down quicker (fulvic acid or molasses for example).

To terminate a cover crop a crimper can be used (better if eaten by a ruminant). I saw one operation (video) where the same tractor, in one pass, push crimped a tall grass cover (rye + weeds), cut and seeded the cotton (cash crop), and inoculated the furrow. It worked very well, esp when compared to his neighbour (plough and fertiliser). Water retention, cooler ground, more soil activity, etc. Looked weird but he had the land and built the setup.

@peterclark6290 Жыл бұрын

What have you come up with since you asked this question? There are lots of videos on potatoes (put the seed potatoes on top of the humus layer, cover with straw, water in, cover the straw with something to prevent its blowing away until the plant grows, remove the ballast; to harvest, peel away the straw. With sugar beets and other in-ground tubers/root vegetables which disturb the soil when harvested, push the loose soil back into the hole, touch up the humus layer and start a cover crop straight away. On large Regen.Agric potato/beet farms they probably use/make equipment that reflects the above and looks after the soil.
