52: Tom Newmark | Regenerative Agriculture: The Answer To The Climate Crisis

Simply planting or farming more will not save our planet, and at worst, it might even speed up its destruction. That’s where regenerative agriculture comes in. Tom Newmark is the Co-Founder of The Carbon Underground, a 501(c)3 organization focused on solutions to drawdown carbon into our soil through regenerative agriculture, and the owner of Finca Luna Nueva Lodge, a wholly organic and regenerative farm in Costa Rica. In this episode, he joins Corinna Bellizzi to explain why regenerative farming is the solution that will save our planet. Keep your ears glued to this insightful discussion and learn more about how farming impacts our future and the role you can play in saving it.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction2:06 - The origins and creation of Finca Luna Nueva7:31 - Finca Luna Nueva’s transformation from organic to biodynamic12:02 - Enriching the soil and Mother Nature’s response to biodiversity23:55 - The irony of agricultural technology33:15 - Achieving global cooling by drawing carbon underground44:29 - Soil Carbon Initiative 49:39 - Soil Carbon Index and contention with the Regenerative Organic Certification55:51 - Transition to a regenerative future58:05 - ConclusionJOIN OUR CIRCLE.
