Why Regenerative Organic? | Part 2: Soil Is the Solution

Because healthy soil traps carbon, many believe that Regenerative Organic farming methods have the potential to change the way we grow food and fiber and restore the health of our soil and climate. These practices help build healthy soil that could help draw down more carbon from the atmosphere than conventional methods.

Topsoil: nature's gift to us." That right there was/is the problem in thinking. more like "Topsoil: nature's responsibility bestowed upon us". It's not something freely given for any use. It's a precious responsibility we have to look after.

All I keep thinking is these dude keep flexing that Patagonia gear. Jokes aside very good way to go about changing for the better

Dear Patagonia,
I just read part of "The story of more : how we got to climate change and where to go from here" and though I'm a fan of organic food and farming, there needs to be pushback against the constant story we're told about conventional food being just as nutritious and healthy as organic, and that organic is just about spending more money, etc. These arguments are based in science, or at least mainstream science. I know there are counter arguments but I rarely hear cohesive ones that can counter the views of people like Hope Jahren. 
Please make some "long play" docs about this issue.

watch kiss the ground on netflix it explains how soil is going to solve global warming and climate change

It would need to be "food, fiber, and fuel, grown better" for folks to fully fix (f)our faulty failings from a financial frame. So we're freakin fucked!! But not forever

Never knew soil had so many microbes in it🤯

I’m hearing a lot about how there’s an issue, but not a lot about what’s causing the issue. To my knowledge, the only major issue with modern agriculture is the consumption of our freshwater sources and the production of greenhouse gasses from livestock. In addition, the issues the soil scientist mentioned haven’t been an issue (as far as I’m aware) since the dust bowl. While I don’t know much about organic agriculture, in this video they seem to be suggesting that it’s about de-industrializing agriculture, reversing the entirety of human advancement for the past 10, 000 years (or the dawn of civilization)

*how about lecturing politicians who legislate for bottomless immigration (which accounts for **_enormous_** deforestation) and welfare policies that **_buttress_** the factory food lobby, hmm?*
