What's Regenerative, Sustainable, Organic & Healthy? #regenerativefarming #soilhealth

Dr. Tom Dykstra and Glen Rabenberg tackle the challenge of defining agricultural practices. They explore the differences between regenerative, sustainable and organic farming with Glen emphasizing a practical definition of “healthy.”

Holistic! Nicely put. To expand on that...a regenerative system is any system that allows human intervention and effort to reduce over time and its more of a hyperbola rather than linear growth.

Where all or most of the inputs are coming from the outputs of what is already being grown...

An man-made eco system replica of the sorrounding nature. This system is resilient to desease, self sustaining to a great degree....has most of the cycles running smoothly on its own: water cycle, nutrition cycling etc...

Got to Agree 💯 with you!!
Great Definition, in my eyes, Sustainable is Not Optional...
HEALTHY is Absolutely Right!!

Good question, but... we don't want to box ourselves in with regulation. That's a big NEGATIVE.

To me, if it is improving the soil/habitat/animals, it is indeed regenerative.

"Regenerative" is maybe synonymous with "holistic, " to me.

Best part about it is it "should" lead to increased profits, too.

Thank you for attempted
/differentiation of terms. CONTINUE with definitions and we will learn it out here in the field.... may take a/while though.do not/use synonyms incorrectly... HAHAHA DENNIS. I will study semantics best I possibly can. DENNIS

Regenerative is best. Better than healthy or sustainable

Health is an old word for whole. If the whole system is whole and working it is there for healthy.

It's just another fashionable buzzword. As Douglas Adams said, " So long and thanks for all the fish."

So he is looking for a euphemism for GMO.

Talk like you are farmers not a person that knows too many big words. Showing that you're reading off a script. You're not running for political office.
