Soil is Life - Part III Inspiration from a beautiful Italian Regenerative Farm

- Regenerative Agriculture is not a method. It is a way of looking at things. “It is an approach, and within this approach, there will be appropriate practices depending on the crop, soil, environment and climate. From this field to that one over there, we use a completely different method of cultivation for the same crop, but the approach is the same.”
In this third video about the Iside Farm located at Lago Iseo in Italy, Matteo Mazzola shows us that nature does not waste anything. The whole system that he and his partner Paola are setting up is based on biomimicking nature and trying to create natural productive systems. The vision is to study, to experiment and get as close as possible to nature’s behaviour, productiveness and efficiency, and in the process enable the amazing ecological services that nature gives the biosphere.

This is absolutely fantastic.
This is how we should be stewards of the Earth. Beautiful, thank you!
This is by far the best film I have seen on UA-cam in months. So beautiful, so positive. Please, please, please visit this farm regularly - I can listen to this man for hours.
Inspring! Wwe need more of this in the UK. Our land is so degraded
Thank you for wathcing. There's some examples in the UK, but way too little as yet
Do you know of Knepp? One successful rewilding venture. Inspiring to go visit…
Well, we need this everywhere!
Just remember every pound or dollar we spend cast a vote for this or for chemicals and destruction of our land and inevitably ourselves...live accordingly. Once 51% of us get to a point where we are making conscious decisions the rest of the world will follow. That means that all of our choices matter, maybe we are so close and just almost there, maybe my or your choices today will tip the scale. Watch the documentary "I Am" that explains how that works, referring to the 51% thing.
Incredible, thank you!
You're very welcome!
Wonderful to see children growing up learning all this. There is some of this going on in Spain, as you know, more and more people realizing that this kind of thoughtful, regenerative approach creates better, nutrient dense food. Supermarket food has no flavor but more importantly, little nutritional value, people are seeking out properly grown stuff, or growing it themselves. Mulberry leaves 24% protein, News to me, I’ll plant some more varieties, thank you for that and your inspiring films 🙏💚👏
We live in the city and it was an eye opener how well developed these kids are in every sense. We made various videos also in Spain. I can share links if you want
@@STORYTRAVELERS i’ve seen your Spanish film, also fantastic. It’s harder in Spain, people are naturally more conservative, stuck in their ways, if only they realised they are stuck in the recent past, not the ancestral way, perhaps there would be more of a shift. Fact is the Mar Menor is toxic, and Almeria and other industrial scale agricultural centres are just pumping out toxic crops to make short term money. It’s shameful the government allows this mafia , but as with everywhere, there are no governments or countries just facilitators and big business, and we allow it because most of us are too tired or too sick. Films like yours make a difference 🙏
@@monicacruz4407 yes I hear you, unfortunatley our system is addicted to petrochemical inputs, a vicious circle spriralling down. In the political debate you hear close to nothing about regenerative practices of agriculture. It's still merely capital driven while capital eventually is virtual, the real capital is soil :)
Great job Matteo and Paola, you are the hope, the seeds to grow for saving our land, our soil. I do hope to visit you soon, I live close to Iseo lake. This year I started to grow vegetable in my little vegetable garden using permacultura and synergical principles. I do hope you all the best and lot of farmers to follow your way of living and taking care of the soil. 👍👍👍👍
thoroughly enjoyed watching this soil is life series! such inspiring work they are doing on this farm, and with so much love!
Really lovely. I love the way they are trying things out to mimic nature. So exciting. But what an incredibly beautiful place to live. Those children are so lucky to have that life.
It really is!
Amazing and inspiring! I wish you all the best, and I hope there will be much more farms like yours everywhere!
Thank you hope so too!
LOVE what you guys are doing!!!!!
Thank you, your comments keep us going!
Thank you for spreading the idea of regenerative, permaculture, biodynamic form of farming. Conventional ag is not sustainable! We too own and operate a farm. We are permaculture based and it warms my heart to see videos like this. Gives me hope instead of being an oddity. Input $$ from this style of farming is significantly reduced because we don't buy industrially made fertilizer such as anhydrous ammonia, rock phosphate, herbicides, fungicide, insecticide etc.
Glad you appreciate it, pioneers like you point the wordl into the right direction
So inspirational, this videos should have millions of views! It provides the key concepts to stop desertification expansion and save water for the upcoming droughts.
You should definitely make a TED Talk, so we can thrive together in a more sustainable way.
Thank you for you positive comment, Mateo should definitely go for a TED. this matter is of live saving importance
What an amazing system. So much for other to learn from. Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you Mary, glad you appreciate it so much!
Hello from South Africa. My goodness I enjoyed this series. Watched all of 3 back to back and I'm left breathless and in awe of this family and their farm.
Wonderful you took the effort watching all three!
This is amazing and fascinating. Respect to all of you. You all look so happy and contented with life.
Thank you for producing such a delightful visual of an inspiring community creating the most wonderful future.
💚🌱🌾 Awesome!

Great video. I hope we see more of this type of farming around the world.
This guy is my hero. Awesome love love love it
Really enjoyed learning from these three videos, very impressed with his knowledge and implementation of design.
Fantastic work!!! Thank you! 🙏❤️
Such a beautiful productive and serene location for this wonderful farm and homestead. The lake in the background is stunning, what lake is that and do you have access to it (for fishing and whatever)??
Thanks for the comments, It's lago Iseo in Italy, accessible for leasure
Wonderful
Glad you appreciate it Leslie!
Dit is baie interresant hoe hierdie woord oor die hele wêreld versprei , ja ek boer in Namibia en pas dit ook nou al 20 jaar toe.
Yes!!!!❤❤❤❤
cool
Thank you for watching :)
Amazing..dear i want to do agriculture job in Italy so can you help me plz
Would be interested to know how he determines the spacing on the hexagonal planting system for the different plants
Yes interesting question because every plant has a different planting distance
Yep. He guesses. They’re crammed in. All fine. If it’s good healthy soil then No worries and watche them grow!
Hexagonal spacing distances for many veggies are covered in John Jeavons classic “how to grow more vegetables.”
@@CatherineandRob thank you 😊
Animals are not pollinators, insects are
Agree, in some case enaimals can help spreading seeds though
