“My philosophy about what to do in the world isn’t to go to a pristine area and live there and enjoy your life; it’s to find a place that’s degraded and fix it up” - Robert Guyton🖖
Having worked with Ernst I can say that if he would call it regenerative he would set the bar so high that no highly mechanized and corporate farming could claim that term. They are all entropic rather than syntropic.
Beautiful film on Regenerative Agriculture, putting an emphasis on the philosophy of it is always better than the method to do it. Because regenerative agriculture or permaculture or syntropic argiculture works on the context of where you farm. This can change a lot even if you are 5 miles/3 km from another farm. You never really choose what you farm, the ground will make that choice for you. If you try without success a plant/perennial/tree, change it because you should only cultivate the "weedy" one (the fruit tree that grow like a weed) and nature only attacks the weak plants. Again, great job on the film !!
Ernst's experience is inspiring! Most current regenerative and organic practices are sourcing a lot of materials from afar, e.g. dumping compost from organic matter extracted from nature elsewhere. It's unclear how we can close the nutrient cycle with our limited space and outgrown needs. But we have to try to reduce our footprint.
This was beautifully done, and I hope you reach a broad audience with it. Too many of us maintain delusions that we are something outside of nature, apart from our ecosystems, and that has led to fouling our nests and killing the soil beneath our feet. It's time to remember that we are part of the cycles, part of the systems, and give nurture for nurture.
When it comes to worrying about defining terms there is a fundamental issue in language. Terms and Words never stay still and static, any attempt to do so grows stale, or worse damaging. In lines with regenerative agriculture being a process rather than a set of rules, the way we look at language and our symbols is a process. So long as individuals truly engage with their communities, with open discussion and dialogue: We will not need to write a definition, we can feel one.
I ws thinking of Gabe Brown and his journey in my head as the standard of being the new leader of regenative. Now once bloggers and government grabs ahold of the buzz word, well adjectives as propaganda can change . Grow your own herbs at home is my suggestion.
If you come to Australia you will see regenerative farming being practised on farms that are 10s of thousands of hectares. It’s a very practical solution for cattle farming and is also being practised for sheep, wheat and other major products.
It's beautiful! Owning a piece of land and managing it in a regenerative, permaculture-inspired way is my dream. As a horticulturist in the UK, it saddens me that perhaps only 5% of our clients genuinely care about nature. Many of them have large spaces, but their desire to keep everything meticulously tidy leaves no room for the wildness that nature needs to thrive. I hope for a future where more people understand that embracing a little messiness-letting wildflowers grow, creating habitats for insects, and allowing life to flourish-can transform gardens into sanctuaries not just for people, but for the planet as well. Every small step towards coexistence with nature is a step toward healing our world.
This is why I decided to become an Eco terrorist. The municipality where I live uses poisons through sub contractors to spray poison in fields and this kills bio diversity. So I stared growing a Fig tree that I have now planted in a park near my home. I am also planting purslane in various places. Now I am starting a Mulberry tree to plant somewhere else, as long as I live I will plant fruit trees as far and wide as I can. I am planning to grow a lot more fruit trees and plant them far and wide in my local area.
It is called 'Regenerative' because it regenerates the soil. Re-establishes its fulcrum role in land management. Without vibrant, alive soil there is nothing. Except ignorance.

Hi there, thank you for your comment! We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed the documentary 🙂

Great job on the effort! As a techie myself, I've also ventured into organic farming. It’s a refreshing perspective with valuable insights.
Beautiful work. Made me feel better in this sad period of my life
Excellent documentary! Highly recommended
Great perspective on a complex topic. Thanks.

Very clear. Inspirational documentary.
Thanks @elizabethhart848!
Very beautiful documentary, thank you
Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
We are blessed and spoiled.

I needed a little good news. This gives me hope. Thanks!
Very happy to hear that David!
@@foodunfolded I agree. To see someone that is such an honorable man, doing good in this world, that is definitely a good news. I am enjoying this.
Great work, Silvia :)

You were very good and clear. Well done!
Glad it was helpful! :)
Very good video, thank you.

Habe euch erste gerade entdeckt und bin begeistert, so ein schön gestalteter informativer Film, Danke!
Vielen Danke!
3:35 An amazing legacy 3 mins in..
8:23 how could they think this was the right way after the dust bowls of 1920's ..
I was waiting for a documentary like this! Thank you ❤

Farmers talk about growing soil, rather than growing cattle. Good soil produces good food.
It is called 'Regenerative' because it regenerates the soil. Re-establishes its fulcrum role in land management. Without vibrant, alive soil there is nothing. Except ignorance.
need a better title
