Deserts are a ecosystem on their own. They should not be viewed as opportunity to reverse climate change. In such ecosystems, biodiversity loss will increase because of introducing changes because many species have evolved for those systems.

Moringa oleifera. It is a very fast growing tree that is drought tolerante. It's loaded with protein and has the most complete plant based amino acid profile. It also has the most growth hormone zeatin of all plant species. Moringa can be used to feed animals, plants, and people with it's leaves, drumsticks, seeds, flowers, and roots. It can be grown as microgreens, in rows orchard style, or a more dense hedges style.

We are doing this management. Diverse plants and rotational grazing. I can see where it’s going. It’s staring to go down the road of more rules. 6,3,4.. 9… certification, 27. Annual certification updates and required classes … If not put then just leave info out, let producers choose. If they choose traditional farming they pay the cost of depleting soil and more fertilizers.

Absolutely love most of what Blain had to say. His 6th slide on the Rhizospere is brilliant. I have some questions for him. 1. It puzzles me why he would suggest bacteria came first. What did they eat? 2. There was no mention about reduced stoma on plants in high CO2 environments and therefore reduced water consumption in the plant. Was that just a time thing? 3. In his last slide showing the difference between a degraded and a healthy soil, it says silt, sand and clay are 74%. and in the healthy soil it's 30%. Obviously these have not decreased so does that mean the actual soil level increases because there is now more air water and SOM. Is this a measurable height difference?

Yes, all the elements are there, except for phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur... to name a few that one can't get from the air. So unless you are planning to only plant crop that delivers none of these to your buyers, then you are out of luck. Hint: humans can't live of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon alone. We happen to need all of those non-regenerative elements in our food, which means that some farms, somewhere, have to put them into the soil using mineral resources. That's just basic chemistry.

Perfectly healthy. None was ever inspected...but all was good quality meat ! Also take for example.... myself........milking cows...... a milker can fall / drop off of a cow....fall in the manure / pee. Its instantly sucked into the pipeline.

He teaches people to "fish"...if they want to learn. He secretly helps many for FREE. He testifies to congress at his own expense trying to help make a difference for both the environment (world) AND farmers success. I went to a Soil Health Academy where Gabe participated, partially on scholarship...I also went to one of Greg Judy's conferences just before that. I honestly learned much from BOTH but there were stark differences. That said, I am appreciative to what GJ has done & taught...he is being compensated for it. My Soil Health Academy was next level... three levels! ALL participating consultants were very approachable & helpful there...and after, not just if you owned 1000's of acres etc. (I only have 80 acres & was treated the same. ) Not one person there was being sold anything...just teaching & truly mentored. They actually gave so much away for free both then & after. Sadly at GJ's...I felt most of the time I was either being sold something (overpriced) or a constant advertisement & pitched. (For which GJ gets a piece of.) Also much less approachable. I would/ will attend another SHA 100% at my own cost but will not GJ's again. On final note, I strongly advise you to watch "Kiss the Ground" & it's sequel "Common Ground" before you speak much more to what you do not know.

all soil is based in silt, sand, and clay (find me one that isn't). So the principles of building organic matter, promoting biology in the soil, and keeping it covered with (preferably) a photosynthesizing plant apply everywhere. The exact way you go about that changes slightly based on your climate and soil base (just as the exact mix of diverse biology and plants change), but not so drastically that you can't apply the concepts. They say that "soil is soil" because there's a lot of farmers and academics who keep claiming their approach to agriculture can, effectively, "only work on Brown Ranch". If you follow the principles, you can achieve equal or better results than they have been in ND (especially if you have a longer growing season and more rainfall).
@veziqiniso4425 Жыл бұрын
@wildrangeringreen thanks I think we're largely on the same page. In many parts of the world the dominant view of soil for the past 60 years has been simply of a physical substrate that you loosen up with tillage and apply inputs like fertilizer, seed and ag-chems to in order to produce a crop. That's what many ag- colleges and the ag-business sector have propagated. Allen and Gabe have played a role in shifting that for many producers

I am not a farmer or anyone with credentials worth speaking about. I worked in the construction and operations industries before my retiring. I find it interesting that we are always seeking to develop and implement what was called innovative technologies. Often these were falsely advertised because the technology existed for decades in another field or application. It’s the presentation that sells. Bull Shit baffling brains so to speak. We love what sounds good! We love it so much that we often don’t require proof. Interesting Regenerative farming to me is basically doing what if left alone nature has done forever. Of course nature has been so altered that we can only attempt to mimic it these days. I really enjoy the approach and only wish I was younger and able to get more personally involved. I do enjoy these talks.

So the principles of building organic matter, promoting biology in the soil, and keeping it covered with (preferably) a photosynthesizing plant apply everywhere. The exact way you go about that changes slightly based on your climate and soil base (just as the exact mix of diverse biology and plants change), but not so drastically that you can't apply the concepts. They say that "soil is soil" because there's a lot of farmers and academics who keep claiming their approach to agriculture can, effectively, "only work on Brown Ranch". If you follow the principles, you can achieve equal or better results than they have been in ND (especially if you have a longer growing season and more rainfall).
@wildrangeringreen thanks I think we're largely on the same page. In many parts of the world the dominant view of soil for the past 60 years has been simply of a physical substrate that you loosen up with tillage and apply inputs like fertilizer, seed and ag-chems to in order to produce a crop. That's what many ag- colleges and the ag-business sector have propagated. Allen and Gabe have played a role in shifting that for many producers
I am not a farmer or anyone with credentials worth speaking about. I worked in the construction and operations industries before my retiring. I find it interesting that we are always seeking to develop and implement what was called innovative technologies. Often these were falsely advertised because the technology existed for decades in another field or application. It’s the presentation that sells. Bull Shit baffling brains so to speak. We love what sounds good! We love it so much that we often don’t require proof. Interesting Regenerative farming to me is basically doing what if left alone nature has done forever. Of course nature has been so altered that we can only attempt to mimic it these days. I really enjoy the approach and only wish I was younger and able to get more personally involved. I do enjoy these talks.
Water is not free
You cant farm......when you run the roads ! Same with Mr.Glyphosate ( Greg Judy ) He calls it profitable when hes not even a farmer ! Mr. Glyphosate needs multiple lines of income to even exist !
@@Jj-gi2uv Im well aware....... thats why I commented here. These are not farmers. They operate only for profit......and not from farming ! KZread is more of an income for them then farm life !
That maybe true of GJ...NOT of Gabe. He speaks from dearly paid for experience. Do better research concerning ANYONE involved with Understanding Ag or Soil Health Academies. They are involved for the right reasons, bring a wealth of knowledge & experience & ask little in return. They are mentors... not hucksters.
Is that Hexham race course in the background?
Yay Gabe !
😊
We feed the world by creating thousands of small town regenerative farmers through educating the next generation.
Basic common sense.
Farmers here in the USA.....feed people........with dirt cheap food prices ! One basic example is the price of " chicken " You cant produce a chicken for the price you can buy it in town ! Same with potatoes ! People in the USA complain about high food prices. Get a life !!!
@jerrylansbury9558 yes, however unless done regeneratively, at a great cost to taxpayers & the fiscus (subsidies etc), the environment & human well-being. But I get your point about access to low-cost food, although.. if it's not healthy, look at US health costs & expenditure. 'Hidden costs'
@@veziqiniso4425 As a dairy farmer........ we here in the USA have the best and highest quality food in the world ! It has nothing to do with " regenerative " " organic " or the like. As a former Peace Corps volunteer to Liberia Africa. I ate many foods there....most of which was wild bush animals/meat. None of this was inspected. You took it home ......cooked it and ate it ( if you could ) One time I bought a ground hog which was hanging out for sale a bit too long. It was blown up.....from being in the sun too long. Got it home and magots fell out of it. I still cooked it.........tried to eat it.....but vomited. I no longer eat ground hog meat. You could buy monkey meat.....or any other meat at the market. Perfectly healthy. None was ever inspected...but all was good quality meat ! Also take for example.... myself........milking cows...... a milker can fall / drop off of a cow....fall in the manure / pee. Its instantly sucked into the pipeline. Its blended into the tank of milk..and mixed with any other milk along the way. Is this healthy food ? Im betting nearly every dairy farmer has this happen every day. Nothing much to prevent it. Still.....here in the USA....we have the best quality food you can buy ! "Regenerative" is just a way to make money off of people whom fall for it. Do these so called farmers make their money off the land or....from other people / farmers ? For sure they dont stay home and make money off the land !
@@jerrylansbury9558 What a spew of crap. Gabe Brown has already PROVEN with hard data along with countless other famers who made the transition that regen ag produces more calories, profit, and nutrient density than any other farming practice. Hard. Data. So try not to be a hater.
no sound
Gabe is a crusher. I really enjoyed “from dirt to soil,” and would like to shake his hand one day!
