- Did you know due to modern agricultural practices you have to eat eight oranges today to get the same amount of Vitamin A as your grandparents would have gotten from just one?
In this episode of the Sustainability Champions (formerly Sustainability Matters Today) podcast, I interview Gabe Brown, owner of Brown’s ranch and a champion of regenerative farming. Gabe is a producer and winner of many state and national soil health awards, including a Growing Green Award from the Natural Resource Defense Council, and a Zero-Till Producer of the Year Award.
In addition, he was named one of the 25 Most influential Agricultural Leaders in the United States. Gabe recently published, “Dirt to Soil: One Family’s Journey Into Regenerative Agriculture”, where he shares the story of healing his farm’s soil and paves the road for other farmers to follow in his footsteps.

To sustain soil is not enough, we need to build carbon in the soil, to gain not sustain. Regenerative agriculture is the way to go, even in suburban homes.
Absolutely!
I think the best interviewer that I’ve heard on this subject. I’ve watched and listened to Gabe many times. He’s always great to listen to.
Great interview / conversation with Gabe Brown. Thank you. I appreciate the depth of knowledge you have of Regenerative Farming Daniel. Keep up the good work!👍🙏😊
Thank you very much!
I just started reading this book!
That's awesome, I hope you enjoy it :D
I am currently reading/ listening to "Dirt to Soil"
This is an outstanding book.
Agreed! Let’s see if we can get every farmer in the world to read it!
There's a book?
@@firefixing4125 dirt to soil by Gabe Brown it is a fabulous book
@@firefixing4125 Yes! It's called Dirt to Soil and it's Gabe Brown's story of how he discovered this style of farming. Highly recommend it!
I've been watching Gabe Brown talks all winter and planning to change how I garden and care for my hens. This was an exceptionally good interview because it covered a broad range and allowed Gabe to give full answers. Thanks.
Thank you for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode :D
Just finished listing for the second time.
Thank you very much, Dawnie G!
Use the waste in one enterprise to fuel the profit of another. Great stuff. I've heard a similar saying coming from the permaculture perspective, They like to say " the problem is the solution. "
Definitely! Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I hope you enjoyed the episode!
In Nature, there is no waste. There. ;)
What an interesting talk... will have to come back to it... simply makes good sense, and is the sustainable way to go forward in every sense... Health of Soil, Livestock, resulting in Human Health, which ever way one looks at it...
Thank you for the thoughtful comment! We agree :)
thank you!
Left exposed to the elements, soil will erode and the nutrients necessary for successful plant growth will either dry out or quite literally wash away. At the same time, planting the same plants in the same location can lead to a buildup of some nutrients and a lack of others. But by rotating crops and deploying cover crops strategically, farms and gardens can infuse soils with more and more (and more diverse) soil organic matter, often while avoiding disease and pest problems naturally. Always remember, bare soil is bad soil. All the best from Croatia, EU.

So true! Than you for sharing!
Sustainability is the thing we should not be doing, at the beginning he talks about oranges today compared to the past and the lack of nutrients why would we want to sustain that type of fruit? we need to get beyond the buzz words and first build a healthy soil with nutrient rich foods, food for health then we can talk about sustaining that type of agriculture. If the cost of organic is too much for a family then just keep eating the fast food and nutrient deficient food so you can afford all those medical bill you will have in the future as the old saying goes. “ pay me now or pay me later”
I think that’s a great point! The buzz word is a bit misleading in that sense. I think a better word is “regeneration”. What do you think?
It's not about sustaining that kind of fruit as it's not about the fruit it's the soil that is nutrient depleted
human health crisis, yeah totally, the health and well being of our brethren is needed...
Thank you.
Thank you for listening!
You are a true hero
Thank you for the kind words, Dan!
Daniel, are you still doing videos/podcasts.. I'm hear and ready to do one. Richard Higgins. Director GGI.
Amazing
Thank you Emil! I hope you enjoy the episode!
Another reason it's expensive is it costs too much to be aloud to label it organic.
Потрясающе! Хорошая информация!
great,fantastic
would enjoy talking to you after you see my book, the green wizards guide
Thanks ron, will check it out! I hope you enjoy watching the episode!

Hast du schon mal dieses wunderbare Aktivwasser von einem solchen Aquavolta Cavendish schon mal getestet?
Dieses Getränk ist richtig mega genial! 👍
Was ist das? Hmm das kann ich nicht hier nicht einfach so sagen...

Psst: erfolgreiche Heilpraktiker empfehlen es es schmeckt richtig gut . :)

its funny how you use orange as an example for vit. a. thats a little bit sus
Oranges? Vitamin A??
Hi Tomas! Yes that's correct! So much more of the vitamin C content, oranges have good amounts of vitamin A also. Here's the article about that: www.scientificamerican.com/article/soil-depletion-and-nutrition-loss/
wouldn't, the hyperimposition of artificially inseminating cows be man forcing one's will?

Good luck with that plan.
