In this episode, Ed explores how conventional farming affects the quality of the nutrients in our food and the benefits of transforming traditional agriculture into Regenerative Agriculture. Regenerative Agriculture is a system of farming principles and practices that seeks to rehabilitate and enhance the entire ecosystem of conventional farms.
It focuses on topsoil regeneration, increasing biodiversity, improving the water cycle, enhancing ecosystem services, supporting biosequestration, increasing resilience to climate change, and strengthening the health and vitality of farm soil. Mike Dorion AKA "The compost kid" is an expert in Permaculture Design, SPIN Farming, and Greenhouse Design; and a mentor in Soil and Soil Microbiology.
He explains how everything starts in the soil, the benefits of the regenerative agriculture movement, and the new technology to measure the necessary levels of nutrients in our food to get a healthy and balanced diet.
