Here's 5 Reasons Why You Might Fall in Love with Regenerative Ag.
Because, on the flip side, here's what you get with Degenerative Ag:
- Decaying barns and costly infrastructure.
- Massive loans that take years to pay off.
- A "get all you can get right now" mentality that sucks the land of it's valuable resources without giving back to the millions of animals in the soil, (that make it soil in the first place).
- Reliance on the annual monocrop grain subsidy system.
- And more and more farms going bankrupt.
But here's how Regenerative Ag flips the script:
- Less costly infrastructure that decays.
- Less massive loans that take years to pay off.
- A stewardship mentality of feeding the millions of animals in the soil by not depleting and constantly tilling up their food source year after year.
- A focus on utilizing diverse perennial pastureland.
- And, a customer base that pays the farm directly, helping more farms stay in business.
Basically, it's an industrial monopoly system vs. a decentralized, small family farm system.
So, if I love my land, want it stewarded the way God intended, and then be able pass it on to my tribe's tribe's tribe, Regenerative Ag is worth falling in love with.
