To Live Local: Stories of Regenerative Agriculture
We set out in May 2014 to capture the stories of farmers in, not knowing exactly what to expect. We found a diverse landscape of hard working farmers all with different perspectives on what food means to them. To Live Local represents a collection of stories from the farmers we met.
Potatoes, sugar beets, onions, corn, and the dairy/cattle industry have made Idaho’s agriculture world famous, while also establishing its economic prosperity. However, with an ever changing food system and global concerns, farmers everywhere are forced to re-evaluate the way they operate and interact with food, the land, and their communities.
To Live Local explores farming operations that span Idaho and capture first-hand accounts on how farmers, while maintaining unrelated but similar visions of reinforcing their community’s food system, utilize different agricultural methods, technologies, and marketing strategies to diversify their operations to be competitive in today’s market.
The farmers profiled in this film skillfully introduce their unique perspectives on sustainable and regenerative agriculture and the state of local food systems in their communities. To Live Local introduces you to:
- a fifth generation farmer who is shifting his family farming practices into a holistic and regenerative management approach
- a man who has traveled the world but fell in love with the healing mineral spring waters of the Hagerman Valley and developed a geothermal heated greenhouse farm
- a young farming couple who strive to give back to their community by providing good, organic produce to their community
- a seasoned farmer who has transitioned away from growing food, but now focuses time on growing farmers
- farmers and community organizers in a remote Idaho town trying to explore the foundation of a sustainable future
- a man who was called by God to create an oasis in the high elevation desert by establishing a state of the art farming and aquaponic operation
- a women who has been raising and selling grass-fed lamb and pastured poultry for over 20 years struggling to keep her local operations alive
Together these profiled stories intertwine to illustrate the dynamic ways farmers are reinforcing a possible future of our food system.

We spent the morning with Matt several years ago on his farm. The issue of food waste is just as critical today and Matt's story is still important to tell. This season, go ask your local farmer if you can purchase the food grocery stores won't!

    Hello Gabe, I farm in sw Nebraska on a farm the my family began by homesteading in 1885. I started the farm down the regenerative path a few years ago and am seeing results. You are the reason this started for me. You were the first person I watched and you are the one that gave me the aha moment to start to put the pieces together to figure out what was broken and how to and why to fix it. Thank you very very much. Not many people really get to change the world. You have!

    The fact that Gabe Brown has neibours who are fortunate enought to have him as a neibour and Gabe is more then will to work side by side with them and yet they look the other way, and keep signing the front of the checks, that just shows that no matter the evidence people still refuse to believe there is another way to farm.

    Decade later and all these fukpotatos are still trying to blame fossil fuels for the massive harm industrial agriculture has done to billions of hectare of what used to be healthy thriving Rhizosphere. No one is listening because Industrial Agriculture cannot be accused of its crimes. The corporations running the industry would starve billions before they admit wrongdoing of any kind.

      What religion? Christians and Jews are given dominion over livestock to eat. Genesis 9:3. Animal based nutrition is the most bioavailable nutrition for humans. Humans aren’t designed by our creator to metabolize vegetables efficiently.

    I hope Bill Gates knows this stuff. He now owns the most farm land of anyone in the country. Hope he’s willing to study, understand, and choose to grow healthy soils. It does bother me that 1 man (or 1 corporation for that matter) can have control of enough crop land that they can manipulate the amount of food available to the world.

    There is a myth that all souls are fertile and grow anything in the absence of humanity. This is not true. What is true is that humans are interested in improving the productivity of the soils in their care so they can grow anything. This requires learning, it requires mistakes. When we start to view the journey of agriculture as a dynamic interaction of ourselves with nature, we can stop blaming others for their journey and instead focus on how we ourselves can do better.

    So how come the standard agriculture got it so wrong? Lots of the standard techniques are not that new. Soil tillage has been going on for millennia. Were people that stupid for that long to practice it? Or is there more to the story?

    Dead soil ? This sounds like " Greg Judy " and his use of Glyphosates killing the soils! As a Peace Corps volunteer to Liberia Africa.........Ive seen what I thought were " dead " soils. In Liberia the locals are planting crops in soils like we have here....... the county gravel road ! Those soils were and are not dead ! Fact is....with good rainfall.......and warm temps........the soils will eat themselves alive ! So much soil activity theres nothing remaining for the plants to grow on ! There is no such thing as " organic " or " regenerative " soils ! Its called.... controlling how people " use " the land ! Not abuse the lands !

      Ag bill ? I have no issue with any Ag bill.........but is the local public ready to pay the price for food ? With anything....there is reality. Most people have no idea where their food comes from. Be careful in micro-managing something that few know anything about ! That is reality that people dont know much about .

    No-till has a become a religion, with a growing collection of blindly reiterated mantras. Mycorrhizae grow from a plant's roots in a symbiotic relationship. Once the plant dies, the roots die, and the mycorrhizae fibers die too. The mycorrhizae are still present in the soil, but must develop new capillaries from the new roots of a new plant. A plant cannot 'grow into' capillaries left by a previous plant's roots. It's actually odd to see farmers claiming that soil is better off untilled. People broke their backs for millennia to till their (living) soil, because the advantages were (and remain) plainly obvious. Tilling particularly benefits the microbial life in the soil. In a commercial setup, you might handle thousands of very large pots, so you'd naturally prefer to avoid tilling that soil whenever you can, but a home-grower can casually till a few hundred liters of soil in twenty minutes. Living soil has many benefits, but tilling that soil only improves it further.

    • @cdoane1110
      @cdoane1110 2 роки тому

      I've listened to not only Gabe Brown but also Elaine Ingram and others. I've implemented these practices to the extent I can and gave found them effective. You are defending tilling etc and its killing our planet. I am suspicious...

    • @jimmyjohnson7041
      @jimmyjohnson7041 2 роки тому

      When you refer to " tillage " be careful .......the wind itself tills the soils. Water tills the soils. Modern man tills the soils when planting with a *say* corn planter. There are disc openers on that planter. That is tillage ! Basic fact is......there is no such thing as " no till " !

    I'm having a go at growing veg in my backyard that was formally something that would be a code violation in the U.S. I've dug the soil to remove bindweed and brambles and nettles making raised beds then reading the backs of all the seed packs following the long convoluted slowing, potting on, planting. And then I thought how would nature deal with this? So my plan from now on it cultivated wildness... I want to get to a place I'm not importing soil improvers other than seeds. My food waste is so low composting is done by digging a hole next to greedy plants. I was out watering the ground with tap water and thought this can't be good for soil health, I'm pouring chlorine over my soil. So watching things like this further add to my understanding. I'm a novice but very keen to transform my small patch of land to do my bit. I'm also hoping to use it as an example of how things can be even in an urban environment.
