We Can Do This Podcast: A Conversation with John Kempf

- John Kempf is an entrepreneur, speaker, podcast host and teacher. He is passionate about the potential of well-managed agriculture ecosystems to reverse ecological degradation. John believes regenerative agriculture management systems can regenerate producer profitability and create economic incentives for producers, produce crops that are inherently resistant to possible infections by insects, bacteria, fungi, nematodes and viruses, eliminating the need for pesticides. He also believes that we can produce food that can regenerate public health, with an elevated content of immune compounds that transfer plant immunity to livestock and people, providing food as medicine. He believes that through these practices we can rapidly sequester carbon, build soil organic matter much faster than commonly expected, restore hydrological cycles, cool the climate, and reduce the water requirements of a crop. All of these benefits and more can be achieved simply by managing soils and crops differently, in a manner that enhances rather than suppress biological function.
Join us for the We Can Do This Podcast, Kiss The Ground’s weekly conversation about how we can participate in the healing of our Earth and ourselves as we are one and the same. kisstheground....
It never get old hearing what John has to say. What a great Man!
Hi Brian, Thanks for listening!
He is a great man
I have been working with and using AEA products and we have seen a 100% improvement in fruit production as well as great customer satisfaction on the quality and flavor of our fruit, it has been highly praised as the best tasting by our customers. Our goal is highly nutrient rich fruit for health. I never miss an opportunity to listen to John
Kempf is a legend and we have so much respect for him! The whole idea that birthed our farm is from the understanding of how crucial regenerative farming is to continue sustaining life. Thank you for bringing this podcast to light! Much Love!
John is truly the man learned so much from him
Thanks for listening!
31:35 Plants have nitrate transporters and create nitrate as a natural process, even beneficial microbes like mycorrhizae produce and exchange them in plant root cells*. I studied aphid biology in college and aphids do not rely heavily on nitrogenous materials as their symbiotic microbes synthesize many of their essential amino acids using the sugars (sucrose) they digest**, and this is also true for whiteflies and leafhoppers that share a common ancestor as Hemiptera. Also insects are very good at sequestering nutrients, digesting proteins and detoxifying plant defenses their gut microbiome plays a major role***.
Also Marmorated Stink Bugs (34:13) are not beetles, they're Hemiptera like aphids and whiteflies, so it was odd to hear them listed together.

Look at my new garden tour I learned from listening to this
Getting government into farming any more than it is is a bad idea.
