Alejandro Carrillo: notes from the Hometown Roadshow

- Alejandro Carrillo converted his family’s 30,000 acre ranch in the Chihuahuan desert into a regenerative marvel. Now he travels the globe teaching others how they can save their soils, families, and lives.
Peter’s first film on AMP grazing “soil carbon cowboys,” (2014) inspired Alejandro to get the mennonite community and other farmers to adopt regenerative agriculture.
After seeing the film, Alejandro reached out to his mentor - “I told Jesus Almeida ‘I just watched a film that will help us change things on farmland.”
Alejandro went to work, and with the help of Allen Williams and Ray Archuleta, inspired his entire community of over 400 ranchers and farmers in the Chihuahuan desert of Mexico to adopt Regenerative Agriculture!
By watching the original carbon cowboys short film series over the last decade, tens of thousands of ranchers and farmers have learned about soil health and working with nature - inspiring real change all around the globe.
Now, with the science in, and 10 new farm family’s stories that will inspire more farmers across the globe, “Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there)” continues our mission to bring this method of grazing to every farmer on the planet.
If you’re interested in bringing the series to your town, reach out to us at info@rootssodeep.org.

So glad to see this movement being successful for so many, in seemingly harsh conditions.
Holy Moly,100 acres per cow to nearly 5 cows per 100 acres is huge. I would ask if he's seen more rainfall ,so I love hearing that
Search his name and there is a RUclips video on his ranch. This has changes the weather over his ranch! Very cool 😊
Isn’t Alejandro awesome !! It’s a long journey with a pretty humbling learning curve but well worth it !!
Been in his area and its a miracle what they have done in a unbelievable hard location. Love his improve the best first.
A Wonderful interview with great content. Thank you.
This is so exciting. We were driving in West Texas (Fort Stockton) into Big Bend National Park. As we were passing large ranches, I was explaining your films and wondering if regenerative ranching would work in hotter drier climates. Looks like it is possible and that’s pretty exciting stuff. Save the ranchers and you save the world!
I saw him speak at the High Plains conservation conference in Burlington Colorado in August 21. I was very impressed by his presentations and input at the conference. I have my crop land acres improving from long term no till and increasing my cover crops. I’m struggling with getting my rangeland to a rotational grazing program, I’m wrapping my head around how to manage a couple of pastures.
Keep up the great work. Hello from the UK.
This is a great interview and Alejandro is so inspiring.
Inspiring and heartening interview. Thanks Peter & Alejandro.
Hey! This is amazing! I’m in northeast Georgia and there are a lot of ranchers here. Come through!
Are the regen methods popular in GA farms from what you can tell?
Can't wait to see this documentary! When and where will it be available?? Any chance you just release the full thing on YT?
Right now we're on the road with the Hometown Roadshow - you can keep up with where we'll be next on our website! Roots So Deep (you can see the devil down there) will be available for VOD early next year, but you can start with our series from 2020. There's nine episodes available here on RUclips right now for free! ruclips.net/p/PL9sL-T7FNhj1Qpo2ewfDV8rnex7dbKegU&si=cYBF5p352qWk7is9
The most ridiculous thing I see is when people say they "kinda tried" or used "regen-ish methods". I'm not saying you can't wean off of conventional methods, but if you are trying something, pick a spot and put 100% effort into an honest try. If you don't know where to start, that means you need to learn more before you give it a try or call in an expert to help you to learn. There are lots of ways to learn.
You have to ease into it. Takes a few years for the soil profile to change.
We had a similar experience when we went to No Till on our farm ground.
Carbon cowboys merchandise!
Just make sure it's high quality stuff, please. Vinyl stickers for vehicles, atvs tractors and implements, snap back hats, embroidered denim shirts, tshirts, cold weather gear... It would generate more cash than you think! More funding for research, travel, symposiums, production, wages. And it's all tax deductible based on non-profit donations, the merch is a "thank you gift" rather than a retail purchase.
And it'd generate more awareness and interest and hopefully lead folk to enquire, learn, spread the message and adopt the practices
This guy cares.
More plants and trees, more water. 🙏
To me, this us basic farming principles that's been employed by farmers for generations. Some one( I don't know who at this time) are trying to take credit and manipulate these priciples
Unfortunately, main stream farming was fundamentally changed after WW2 when major chemical companies sought out new markets for their industrial products. Several generations later, most farmers are trapped in a debt and despair cycle driving one of the highest suicide rates in the world.
Regenerative farmers like Alejandro Carrillo are attempting to rediscover the power of working with nature - and learning we have so much to gain by caring for our soils, stewarding our lands, and supporting rural communities.
@carboncowboys don't forget the seed companies that brought out hydrid seeds so farmers had to buy new seeds every year . And was more subseptable to insects and weather.

Honestly, how is it "all about life" when the entire basis of this practice is the exploitation and slaughter of the animals the entire process built upon?
Are we to believe that ANY animal farm is healthier than a forest full of wild life?
Or a grassland with wild buffalo?
It seems to me that this is far better than most farming methods, but also to completely ignore the very LIVES that we are depending on to make it happen.
From a purely efficiency minded perspective, we use so much land and resources for every ounce of meat produced by this process in comparison to an ounce of vegetables.
We could have a far greater benefit by removing the consumption of these animals and just eating plants and fungi instead.
Studies have shown that 76% of current land use could be returned to healthy, thriving, wild ecosystems by adopting vegan diets, an area THE SIZE OF RUSSIA!
That would also sequester some 16 years worth of carbon emissions.
And this is just using current techniques.
Imagine how much greater the impact could be if we were to truly innovate in this domain.
We call ourselves humanity, the compassionate species.
Why do we neglect that compassionate potential when it comes to farm animals?
Do they really deserve the horrific exploitation we've put them through?
We shouldn't be fooled to think the only abused animals are in factory farms.
Even a cow with the best life possible meets its end in a slaughterhouse at the tip of a knife, and they experience that same fear and helplessness in their final moments.
We'd be appalled if anyone did such a thing to a dog, but these animals are every bit as intelligent and aware of what's happening to them.
It really needs to stop.
You have been fully indoctrinated into the insanity haven't you, I bet you have almost no rational thoughts remaining.
Maybe you should listen to Lierre Keith, someone who was a vegan. She has quite an interesting story.
@jameshaakenson9606 no she wasn't.
She was vegetarian, and apparently she hated it.
Hardly an example for anyone to follow.
She also makes numerous ridiculous claims in her trashy book, which aren't founded in any science or even common sense.
I prefer to listen to people with much stronger convictions and with the sense to actually be against animal abuse
