Plants Eat Microbes! Dr. James White: The Rhizophagy Cycle, Global Impact, Regenerative Agriculture

Can plants really eat microbes—and could that change the future of farming? In this episode of Quality Values, I sit down with Rutgers professor Dr. James White, the researcher behind the revolutionary Rhizophagy Cycle. This process flips conventional agriculture on its head by revealing how plants actively "farm" microbes for nutrients, leading to a system that could replace chemical fertilizers and regenerate soil naturally. We break down the science, the eureka moment behind the discovery, and the world-changing implications of farming with nature instead of fighting against it. Whether you're into biology, sustainability, or just curious how the invisible world shapes our food and future—this conversation will shift your perspective permanently. 🎧 Stick around for the second half where we explore what a truly regenerative agriculture system would look like at scale—and why it matters for every human on earth. ⏱️ YouTube Timeline / Chapters: 00:00 – Intro: How Dr. White’s name kept coming up in regenerative farming 01:28 – Why this discovery creates “infectious optimism” 02:10 – What is the Rhizophagy Cycle?
