Is Modern Agriculture in Model Collapse? | Mark Shepard

Modern agriculture isn’t just under pressure; it may be experiencing *model collapse*. In this episode of the Soil Talks™ Podcast, Mark Shepard, author of Restoration Agriculture and _Water for Any Farm_, explains why today’s agricultural research and production systems may be built on a flawed foundation. From monocultures and annual disturbance to hydrology, agroforestry, and perennial systems, Mark breaks down: • Why annual monocropping disrupts ecological function • How “model collapse” happens in agricultural research • The economic math behind restoration agriculture • Why yield is not the same as profit • How to transition land without going bankrupt • What the Midwest could look like in 100 years This is not theory. This is field-tested restoration agriculture at scale. 📘 Mark Shepard’s Books (Available at Acres USA): Restoration Agriculture 👉 https://www.acresusa.com/products/res...
