"Regenerative Ryan" - Ryan Bartlett - Soil Advocate

After a health scare, Ryan Bartlett set out on a mission to naturally restore his health. On his quest for a method, he traced the cause of his problems and many problems in the world to food, and the medium in which most of our food is grown - soil. Because of modern farming practices, our soil is dying, and Ryan believes that in order to save the world we must restore our soil to a richer state. He believes the way to do this is through "regenerative farming," or "regenerative agriculture" “Regenerative Agriculture” describes farming and grazing practices that, among other benefits, reverse climate change by rebuilding soil organic matter and restoring degraded soil biodiversity – resulting in both carbon drawdown and improving the water cycle. The loss of the world’s fertile soil and biodiversity, along with the loss of indigenous seeds and knowledge, pose a mortal threat to our future survival. According to soil scientists, at current rates of soil destruction (i.e. decarbonization, erosion, desertification, chemical pollution), within 50 years we will not only suffer serious damage to public health due to a qualitatively degraded food supply characterized by diminished nutrition and loss of important trace minerals, but we will literally no longer have enough arable topsoil to feed ourselves. The key to regenerative agriculture is that it not only “does no harm” to the land but actually improves it, using technologies that regenerate and revitalize the soil and the environment. Regenerative agriculture leads to healthy soil, capable of producing high quality, nutrient dense food while simultaneously improving, rather than degrading land, and ultimately leading to productive farms and healthy communities and economies. It is a dynamic and holistic, incorporating permaculture and organic farming practices, including conservation tillage, cover crops, crop rotation, composting, mobile animal shelters and pasture cropping, to increase food production, farmers’ income and especially, topsoil. 16 days of Conscious Love guided meditation course https://www.facebook.com/groups/540124147161119/ Plant-based Fake Meats vs. Grass-fed Meats By Stephan van Vliet at Duke University: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-021-93100-3 Bionutreint food association for the data on nutrition variances in veggies: https://bionutrient.org/site/ Kiss the Ground documentary on Netflix: https://kissthegroundmovie.com/ Farmer’s Footprint - https://farmersfootprint.us/
