The Future of Farming is Regenerative
Modern farming is in trouble — we’re losing 23 billion tons of soil every year, and if we don’t change course, we could run out of farmable land in just 60 years. But there’s good news: regenerative agriculture is the solution. In this video from Dr. AgNOMAD, explore topics such as why conventional farming is failing, how cover crops, no-till and rotational grazing can restore soil health and much more.
