In this episode of John Kempf’s Advancing Eco Agriculture Podcast, John is joined by Cindy Daley, founding director of the Center for Regenerative Agriculture at California State University, Chico. John and Cindy discuss using systems-based research over traditional single-variable studies, incorporating flux towers to measure real-time carbon flux and soil health improvements, partnering with growers as co-researchers to advance regenerative practices, developing a degree program in regenerative agriculture to educate future farmers and leaders and emphasizing the need for agricultural policy shifts to support ecological farming practices.
