My first thought when coming to this video was "bl**dy hell, Tim - 51 minutes - this had better be good." Then Phil started talking, and talking sense. Fascinating and, yeah, ground breaking
An excellent episode Tim. The ability of Phil to simplify the concepts that he was talking about demonstrates his depth of knowledge on the subject. While I don't get to enjoy my own slice of land to work, I do want so see a balanced and cooperative approach to how we interact with the land to our mutual benefit. Keep up the great content!
Leaving my job in corporate horticulture in 2 days. Had enough of the chemistry. Moving forward to a regenerative project next week. Thanks for these videos they are inspiring. Cheers.
I'm actually in the middle of reading this book. Absolutely fascinating and exciting. I'm a regenerative avocado farmer in Denmark WA. Our farm is basically a forest consisting of avocado trees, native forest and windbreak trees. I observe how much greener our farm is at ground level, even with green moss throughout the summer compared with neighbouring farms who farm cattle and sheep on large cleared paddocks. It's definitely cooler and more humid here too.
Another great video Tim . Show this video to any broad acre farmer who will listen to you. I have been saying for some time now wheat cotton and other crops that cover vast areas they need to plant belts of trees through the crop, also channels through the middle of the trees to catch water runoff which will permiate back into the soil.
Excellent episode - should b required watching for everyone in Ag and everyone concerned about climate change. Though its not explicitly stated, commercial ag processes have removed the greatest buffer we have for moderating the effects of surplus CO2 and thus even if we stopped CO2 emissions it would take a long time for the atmospheric levels to come down. Its at least a two-prong solution.
why would you want co2 to come down, its literally what plants absorb to make sugars and eventually the majority of their mass, increased co2 literally turns deserts greener because the gaseous diffusion of co2 into plants at an exchange rate of 100 h2o molecules leaving the stomata, becomes more economical for plants in drier areas as the co2 increases, more gets taken per molecule of water lost,
@@TS-jm7jm Even kids know that CO2 is what plants need, but that doesn't mean it is good for us to do what we have inadvertently done, which is greatly increase the concentration of it in the atmosphere. That strawman argument is completely disingenuous. Plants weren't hanging on for dear life for hundreds of millions of years until we started the Industrial Revolution, they had all the CO2 they needed to flourish. While it is true that the extra CO2 in the atmosphere can increase growth a bit, that is only a very slim silver lining compared to the chaotic weather that a warmer world leads to. High termperatures aren't good for trees either, they haven't got time to adapt.
@danyoutube7491 earth isnt millions of years old, it's 6000~, your entire model of the world is wrong and godless, men like you who panic over nothing willingly ignorant of God's promise that heat ànd cold spring and harvest will continue.
if you missed his name it is phillip mulvey. 50 years ago i saw a bunny fence event in western victoria. as i drove along a road i noticed a cloud with a straight side. as i got closer there were sheep along the fence of a flogged out paddock next to some 'unimproved' scrub. the cloud was only above the scrub, the straight side of the cloud was directly along the fence. i wonder if any farmers noticed the cloud or merely lamented that wasted bit of scrub.
Great interview - you always have such thoughtful and considered questions Tim! Really appreciate the deep dive with Phil too, he has popped up in a few of your episodes although this longer format allows him to expand on a number of ideas. I went ahead and bought the book, really looking forward to getting through the pages!
@marlan5470 I predict in the near future Regen practices will be attacked or corrupted, for two reasons, 1.0 most of the control is with the farmer at the front line and no money for the chemistry men and no money in it for the climate fearmongers. 2.0 It supports a healthy food chain, food guidelines group won't like that , it also has an option to shorten the food chain, farm to community, see Gabe Browns story, so reduced risk of control by the upper rich parasites
Another cool benefit of increased vegitation is reduced impact from pollutants, in the vast majority of polution impact studies vegittaion reduces the impact. Heavy metals, pesticides and air particulates can all be benigicially biodegraded by plants.
It's absolutely fascinating to hear from one how works in the field of regenerative agricultural. And getting new ideas of how I can do agricultural. All the best from Denmark 😊
Excellent talk and explanation of three things - climate change - precision farming - regenerative agriculture. Wonderfull to be so positive about the future.
Walter Jehne has some very good videos on this subject that go into much more detail but this is a really good primer on the subject. No climate crisis denying here - this is a must for the security of food production and dealing with rising temperatures and biodiversity loss. All these are life threatening issues that regen farming and the regeneration of our natural landscape can have a profound effect on.
Totally agree with you. Phil and Walter are on the same page. Walter Jehne said in his Californian analysis that the temperature component is to the power of 4. Simply covering the soil with plants reduces the temperature by an enormous amount. Fungi in the soil holds water, increases infiltration, captures carbon and supports plants. The micro turbulence from tree belts helping produce beneficial rainfall was very interesting. We need to have clearings in our forest national parks to help with micro turbulence as well. An elder in Victoria once told me that straight bushland was totally unattended. I think he was very perceptive.
Wow and wow another awesome episode in the regen space. Interestingly the last few minutes spoke to my thinking from several years of watching so many video presentations. Phil's comment about the principals remain the same but the application on your situation has to be adjusted to suit your lands status. So much to learn and so hard to work out a good place to apply the ever decreasing budget. Love your work Tim sharing like crazy.
If regen ag is working it should be regenerating farm income as well. By returning an equal or better outcome with less upfront expenses invested. Not an ever decreasing budget. If it's not doing that relatively quickly, one to two years, it's not regen ag
Gday Tim ! You should visit Geoff Lawnton and Zaytuna Farm near Lismore, and Scott Hall on the Gold Coast. Both are practicing everything in this video.
leaving land bare after harvest i found it is just 1 cent below tarmac temp but i must say never thought of water evapouration from plants would make them cooler
Great video and I appreciated Phil’s explanation of the small water cycle and how climate change media does not communicate enough about the heat production side of the global warming equation. However there was a tone in the video to discount the effects of CO2 on climate change which is scientifically well established. It was also suggested that Keeling gave Pr. Carter a simplified message on climate change in order to keep his funding going. To this date I have not met a scientist who got into it for the money and I think Keeling would be offended at the suggestion.
I was looking for someone to bring some sense to the conversation. The tone is troubling leading some to believe that nothing should be done when it comes to CO2, a multi pronged approach is needed, but discrediting the basic science is not.
Mostly they ingest biomass with some soil mineral and exrete castings that have more nutrient content than was contained in what they ingested. Plus lots of other compounds that can stimulate major changes in soil environment. As little as 2 kilos of casting made into a slurry and sprayed over a hectare of degraded range land is enuf stimulus to cause species of plants not seen forr 40 years, because the soil environment was not conducive to their growth, to emerge from the seed bank. As per Nicole Masters of NZ
carbon is part of humus - so when you hear people talk about carbon they mostly do not understand that you are actually increasing humus - ARE YOU LISTENING LITTLEPROUD ??? - increase humus to increase life and profitability - GET RID OF CARBON TRADING
Im going to asd to this an extra concept called residential agriculture where everyday people can grow and sell various produce at market agricuktural value to a co operative that picks up and collects the excess residential produce to take to market........ (Im going to use a basic example...ive seen packed fresh rosemary where the contents includes wooden sticks which i think is disgusting....in a residential situation we could show them how to pick the product so the stalk is always green.....( I used to pick rosemary only to shape the bush in the direction i wanted it to grow in, like pruning, but only using what i need for that day..)means far superior product, the resident is receiving payment for a product of high demand, the customer is receiving a non pesticide grown item of far superior quality and its locally grown....everyone benefits, and those shonky sellers of wooden trunk as herbs gets removed as a product source for food and can be used as mulch...... Now if each product in residential agriculture had a reasonable standard this means more agricultural land could be used more constructively....
At some considerable cost no doubt, soil biota in a friable soil breathes out CO2 naturally and I was shocked to learn that this why leave stomata opens up under the leaf to better and directly receive this "FREE" carbon dioxide. It's lying there in plain sight for us to decipher and use for the greater good.
I find this interesting I have been following the war in ukraine and look at the tree lines they are fighting in on farmland, if you look on how farming is done in Ukraine their farms are bordered by trees and they are the food belt of europe
Evaporating water costs Heat energy cooling the atmosphere. Condensing water is releasing heat energy. Where is the global benefit in lowering temperature? I cannot see it And: where do i find President Carters Presidential notes?
Scott you need to listen to Ian Plimer who says cc is bullshit. No open mind is needed, the only affect of cc is what has been instigated by those who male a profit from cc.
Unfortunately the United Nations view on climate change is to suit themselves. The climate has been changing for millions of years well before man or the industrial revolution began
There is nothing wrong with the idea of regenerative agriculture but the idea that it is an alternative to, or in competition with, reducing carbon by cutting back emissions is profoundly misguided. Tim Thompson produces a very useful channel full of tips and information for the Australian farmer. He has a lot of expertise in that area. However he has neither the qualifications, experience or the necessary expertise to comment on climate science. Phil, his guest shares this lack of expertise in the field of climatology - his background is in the mining industry and soil science. The mining industry is not noted for its acceptance of climate science. Dr Keeling began working on analysis of the atmosphere in the 1950's. The curve showing the inexorable increase in CO2 concentration was known as the Keeling curve. His advice to President Carter to concentrate on CO2 emissions as the primary cause of climate change was because it was so, not because it was simple. Everyone recognizes that CO2 does not create heat. The heat comes from the Sun. CO2 increases the retention of that heat. There is no doubt that good land management will improve the retention of water in the soil and that will have locally beneficial events. The biggest hole in the argument as presented is that by far the biggest source of water vapour is not ground water but seawater. The ratio is incredible. First the Earth's surface is 70% ocean. Of the remaining 30% only a tiny amount is agricultural land. Approximately 10 - 12%, ie 3% of the total surface area of the Earth. Slightly more, 4% is grassland but not all of that is grazing or managed land. It is that tiny percentage that can be improved by regenerative agriculture and regen ag will only make a significant difference to the water cycle where water is already scarce. It will obviously only have any effect where it is accepted. It will never be widely accepted because of the increased demand for labour, management, equipment and perceived decreased yields. Let's be generous and assume that 1/3 of agriculture converts to regen. That is one percent of the Earth's surface area which may be improved and that difference (in terms of the water cycle) will only be seen locally in land already prone to drought. Do not get me wrong - Regen Ag is a good idea on its merits especially in drought prone areas - it is not a solution to climate change. Associating this good idea with the very bad idea of denying the effect of CO2 does the merits of the idea no favours and does a considerable disservice to us all. The doubling of CO2 concentration, on the other hand is present and has a measurable effect in 100% of the atmosphere over 100% of the world's surface. That effect, as the speakers acknowledged, is to act as a blanket increasing global temperatures. For the first time exceeding 1.5 deg C in 2024. Regen Ag could possibly have an effect on climate if it was applied over a large enough area, like for example half of the Sahara desert. In reality, over the small percentage farms that implement it, the effect will be less than negligible.
All speculation, no facts. The reason modern farming practices are done are BECAUSE it's the best way to get the most per area of land at the lowest cost. You can argue all you like though the data is what it is.
ever hear of food nutrient density? salt based fertilizers and the over use of glyphosate has destroyed soil biology. largest case of this is in india, where rice not only holds 50% less nutrients, its full of arsenic. here in western canada, over use of salt based fertilizers , some guys are using up to 200 pounds per acre, just to get a crop off. draining of wetlands and tree'd potholes has decimated insect predators, so flea beetles are a problem. what did the chemical company do in 2024? Label application for the insecticide was no more than 3 applications, chemical company reduced price so that the volume would allow for 5 applications, while staying at the cost for 3. this is the horse shat that has been going on for decades. Modern farming is dead. Just wait till seed oils are removed from the human supply chain. Solution? regenerative ag, ai, and de-centralized supply chains.
Has anyone else considered that climate change, ie, global warming, may just actually be beneficial to Australian agriculture? Its physics. Raise global temps >> increase global evaporation rates >> more 'rain' flows into the clouds >> potential rainfall on ag land is increased. Might Australia become known as the 'not as dry' country over time? We then would just have to learn to deal with this increased severity of future rain events.
The available amount of water doesn't change. Warmer air can absorb more water vapour but you still need the requisite cloud cycle and interaction with pressure systems and geography to have precipitation.

Regardless of climate change or not, Regen-ag is what's up 👍👍
Taxation and carbon credits do very little in practice. The practice includes Regen-Ag.
The practice that works is Regen Ag.
