Understanding Regenerative Agriculture

#video with Gabe Brown

Living Plants and Diversity: Gabe stresses the necessity of maintaining a living plant in the soil and embracing crop diversity to enhance both soil health and income potential. Long-Term Commitment: He urges newcomers to commit to a regenerative approach for a minimum of five years in a defined area, noting that increased profitability can often be observed within the first year.

Networking and Knowledge Sharing: Building connections and sharing insights within the regenerative agriculture community are vital for success, fostering an environment where experiences are freely exchanged.

Most Profitable Crop: Brown's most lucrative crop mix of cereal rye, winter triticale, and hairy vetch has achieved an average net profit exceeding $951 per acre from 2008 to 2018.

Crop Flexibility: This crop mix offers adaptability, suitable for grazing in both fall and spring, while also providing excellent grounds for calving. Soil Health: Remarkably, the field featuring this crop mix has not received synthetic fertilisers or compost since 2007, showcasing the soil's natural fertility developed through years of regenerative practices.
