Why do we need Science in Regenerative Agriculture?. Quite a few people in regen space have recently asked me why we need science. If we have already seen regen work, what does applying the scientific method contribute? Please read here :

Cows are a crucial part of saving the bees. New research shows that regeneratively managed cattle promote flowers and plants on rangelands, which leads to stronger hives that resist pests like varroa.

New science shows that regenerative grazing is as effective as parasiticides for controlling internal parasites in cattle. Let’s keep the money in ranchers’ pockets instead of the chem companies

Calling all CA farmers and those interested in the potential of our food system to affect planetary problems, while putting money back in farmers’ pockets. Please come to UC Davis on May 2!

TED talk, Ecdysis Foundation shows Grow life on your farm, and the carbon takes care of itself. The water takes care of itself. Regenerative agriculture is a celebration of life.

delivered to Iowa State University. It was the best attended Shivvers Memorial Lecture in Sustainable Agriculture ever recorded, as well as the best attended lecture for their campus-wide program. I think a lot of farmers of the state of Iowa see this as a future.

Here is the recording that I gave to; free for the next month. I discuss the extensive research and future of science in agriculture. They may not like what they heard, but they won't forget it.

This one is worth watching. Sometimes I wonder if the scientific community thinks regen livestock production is real. Savory, Carillo, and myself are live-streaming today. Please check it out

Farmers of Iowa: please come to my talk at Iowa State on wed evening (Feb 5 at 7:30). Memorial union, 2229 Lincoln Way, Ames. Let’s show the uni that farmers of the state care about Regen. “The promise of Regen ag: lessons from 1000 farms”.

Farmers of Iowa! Please come to Jonathan Lundgren Shivvers Mem Lecture at Iowa State. Feb 5, 7:30 PM. The Promise of Regen Ag: Lessons from 1000 Farm. We need farmers in the room to send the message that this research is the future. Share widely. Free!!!.

I just ran a google scholar search of published science using the term “regenerative agriculture”. Of the first 100 search results, only 6 actually measured regen farms (3 were Ecdysis studies). Review articles are not helping the movement. Science is falling down on the job.

We used laser beams to count insects. Cool huh? Insects are so numerous that sometimes they are hard to count. New technology might help us do this easier. Check out this paper by our team (Yes we identified 30,000 insects by hand. ).

Farmers could use your help…1000 Farms Initiative is grass roots research showing regen ag promotes life and stores carbon while growing healthy food profitably. Please support our efforts here

Jimmy Emmons might become the next secretary of agriculture. Help put Farmers and Regen ag in power, not big ag. #Elon_Musk #Donald_Trump #RFKJr.

Regenerative farmers celebrate life on their farm, and grow food for their families and communities.
