Today’s Takeaways:
- Work with nature, don’t try to conquer it. Regenerative farming is collaboration with ecological processes, not battling them.
- Soil health = nutrient-dense food. Healthier soil produces more nutrient-dense crops, which supports public health and can reduce healthcare costs.
- Regenerative systems can be more profitable. Far from a sacrifice, regenerative practices often increase farm profitability through lower inputs and greater resilience.
- Policy can lock farmers into short-term thinking. Current revenue-insurance and policy structures in the U.S. make it hard for some farmers to transition away from extractive practices.
- Plants are a carbon solution. Living plants and healthy soils play a critical role in capturing and storing atmospheric carbon.
- Tilling kills the soil’s living systems. Frequent tillage destroys soil microbiology and undermines long-term fertility and resilience.
- Biodiversity is both a goal and an indicator. Increased plant, insect, and microbial diversity signals a healthy, regenerative system that buffers against pests and extreme weather.
- Practical tools to start now. Actions like cover crops, diversified rotations, no-till or reduced tillage, and holistic grazing management help rebuild soil and farm viability.
- Measure beyond yield. Track soil health, input costs, profit margins, biodiversity, and disaster resilience — not just bushels per acre.
- Scale and community matter. Gabe’s team works globally because regenerative practices link farmers to consumers, strengthen local economies, and restore ecosystems at scale.
