How Farmers Get Stuck In Mono Crop Culture

Regenerative agriculture is a topic I’m super passionate about, and one of the key topics in my last book Food Fix, so I was really excited to have Gabe Brown join me on The Doctor’s Farmacy to hear about his farming and ranching practices. Gabe has been “regenerative” before it was even a term. ⁣ ⁣ We talk about how most of today’s farms are massive mono-crop operations that are paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for chemicals, but if they diversified their crops and harnessed the atmosphere’s natural resources like nitrogen, they could produce better food, maintain healthier soils, and even make more money. ⁣ ⁣ Gabe Brown is one of the pioneers of the current soil health movement which focuses on the regeneration of our resources. Gabe and his family own and operate Brown's Ranch, a diversified 5,000-acre farm and ranch near Bismarck, North Dakota. The ranch consists of several thousand acres of native perennial rangeland along with perennial pastureland and cropland. Their ranch focuses on farming and ranching in nature's image.⁣ ⁣ Gabe and Brown's Ranch have received many forms of recognition for their work, including a Growing Green Award from the Natural Resource Defense Council, an Environmental Stewardship Award from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, and a Zero-Till Producer of the Year Award, to name a few. Gabe has also been named one of the twenty-five most influential agricultural leaders in the United States. Gabe recently authored the book Dirt to Soil, One Family’s Journey Into Regenerative Agriculture, and stars in the newly released Netflix movie, Kiss The Ground, which is about a revolutionary group of activists, scientists, farmers, and politicians who band together in a global movement of regenerative agriculture that could balance our climate, replenish our vast water supplies, and feed the world.
