I can't tell you how excited I am to see the regenerative movement growing like this. For me and my family it means better health and lower health care costs. Thank you.
I've listened to Gabe's speeches dozens of times; this is one of my favorites. Incredible content, stretches my mind constantly, and makes the future exciting! Gabe Brown is a national treasure.
Great talk Gabe! Thanks for all the time and work you’ve dedicated to get the word out about regenerative agricultural practices. Thanks for walking this path!
Americans will also have to come to grips with the idea that food will cost more. We are currently offloading costs onto the environment with nitrogen fertilizer runoff, ocean dead zones, etc so when you purchase a product at the grocery store you're never seeing the true cost. With operations like Gabe describes the vast majority of the cost is kept entirely within the farm, and when you purchase a product from a farm like that you can be confident that we're not exporting most costs onto the environment. It will cost more though as you're seeing the "holistic" price
Maybe increased prices will also lead to less food waste and increased nutritional value of the food we eat. With all the other benefits of more healthy and environmentally sound food production I believe that even though the food price will increase, that cost is offset by savings elsewhere such as in health care.
Why would food cost more when with regenerative agriculture you have to buy NOTHING. No tilling, no poisons like pesticides all the 'cides', no fertilisers, no feed for animals etc.etc. You just work with nature.
@@incorectulpolitic Because you don't buy "nothing". You still pay upkeep on tractors, you still pay for animal feed and that animal feed is higher quality so you pay more, you don't use pesticides and instead you need large amounts of wood chips or tarps, you don't get government subsidies to offset all these costs and your costs are spread over less "units of production" meaning a higher cost per unit. Your farm isn't vertically integrated and neither are the local butcher shops you use. Government regulations hamper small farms far more than larger farms. Roll that all up and you get more expensive local food.
I am reminded that the reason wheat is fortified and bleached is it looses it's nutrient value shortly after its ground. Bleaching it is a preservative. Direct marketing ungrounded wheat at a fair price should be a growing market. Soil is the stomach for a plant.
I don't understand why most farmers don't look at these trends and adapt to them, instead of trying to make conventional farming methods and markets work.

A great example of someone that is making this work and making it profitable
I love seeing Gabe's presentations. He is so easy to listen to and his info is fabulous.

Our favorite speaker on regenerative ag. I listen to everything this guy says, he's such an easy going but knowledgeable source.
One of the most phenomenal and inspiring videos I have heard to date! Now I have a business plan😆
Thank God for you Gabe!

@@the32712 you need to rewatch the video.
Not to mention we’re shifting expenses over to medical bills.

If you can't make money with much lower cost goverment ground grazing how do you think a man can make it with no submarginal land
