1. VIDEOS

Here you’ll find our document videos, the majority we’ve created, that go to promoting logical pathways to responsible legislation and regulation that creates an environment in which we can all grow and prosper.  The way we see it we’re ALL connected to each by the food we must eat.  Therefore it’s imperative we find ways to work within the natural resources we have available to us, to create sustainable and environmentally responsible ways to care for ourselves and each other.  We hope you find our video of interest and will learn that change must come from within. That starts now with you!

3. REGENERATIVE AGRICULTURE

At its core, regenerative agriculture is the process of degraded soils using management practices (e.g., adaptive grazing, no-till planting, no or limited use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizer, etc.,) based ecological principles.  Regenerative agriculture strives to work with nature rather than against it. It is more than just being sustainable. It is about reversing degradation and building up the soil to make it healthier than its current state. Regenerative agricultural principles focus on restoring and enhancing soil health by using principles that create more diverse soil microbiological communities. Regenerative farming practices allow food growers to create an ideal subterranean home for soil microbes that, in turn, deliver nutrients to plants, improve soil function (including fertility and water infiltration) and increase the nutrient density of the food they produce—at far less cost than conventional farming practices. Conversely, modern conventional agricultural techniques, which are deeply embedded in the operational farming methods of most agricultural producers today, rely on expensive and often dangerous synthetic inputs that diminish soil health and reduce the nutrient density of our food by focusing on the following elements that help define the regenerative agriculture movement;
