Asking the age-old question of how does nature provide for the natural forests, grasslands and prairies in such abundance and why is this not incorporated into our agricultural production systems? Why is this not happening at a large scale? We know that this is the basis for regenerative agriculture already embraced by many farmers around the world that have started a new industry within modern agriculture gaining traction and growing at a substantial rate. In times where food safety failures are so common, and where consumer distrust of the food system is at an all-time high, and where fake meats are touted as healthy, regenerative agriculture is a refreshing method of raising healthy, delicious animals that also happen to repair the planet.
Willie Pretorius; Regenerative Agriculture in context, viz-a-viz the provision and utilization of natures provided resources
Not willing to settle on the quality of the foods that you eat? We don’t blame you. You are what you eat. This saying actually started as “tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are”, by the Frenchman Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in 1826.
The idea is that the building blocks for your cells and tissues come from the cells and tissues of the organisms that you eat. Eat healthy animals, vegetables and fruits, and your body will produce healthy cells and tissues of your own.
Eating healthy animals and plants can heal your body, and we will help you get such foods in just a moment. But what if we told you that it could also heal the environment and climate? It could solve two problems at once. Actually, it could solve three problems, because many folks also care about the welfare of animals across America, and when animals are healthy, they by necessity live well.
This solution is called regenerative agriculture. What exactly is it? Robert Rodale coined the term “regenerative organic” agriculture to distinguish a type of farming that goes beyond sustainable. To understand it, let’s jump into a time machine:
You’re still in America, but it’s the 16th century. There are no fast food restaurants in sight. Instead, you see millions of bison treading past the open plains, from North to South. What you remembered as Minnesota now looks to be prairie and wetlands full of beavers and otters. What you thought was Georgia is now a greenhouse of more than 300 species of grasses, legumes, and forbs. Antelope, elk, and deer roam the open grasslands of where Colorado should have been.
Even the Chihuahuan Desert, which extends from Mexico up into Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, is no longer a desert. Instead, it is a hunting ground for the Comanche and for predators such as wolves, mountain lions, and grizzly bears. They favor this land because bison, antelope, elk, and deer graze its exceptionally tall grass. All in all, you can hardly believe America once looked like this.
Now, what does it have to do with the the quality of our foods?
These predators, they cause the bison and elk and other herbivores to move and graze the landscape. And as they move, they trample carbon dioxide and plant matter on its soil surface. They keep moving, not coming back for a year or so, allowing the full recovery of soil and plants. The soil, therefore, is almost always covered by plant matter, which helps retain humidity and feed the plant with more carbon from the atmosphere. As a result, the soil remains rich in nutrients, and so do any plants that grow from it and the animals that later feed on them.
This natural behavior is what regenerative agriculture is about, and it’s what regenerative farmers are replicating in their ranches.
Of course, bison isn’t nearly as common today. To starve the Native Americans, the US military and railroad companies killed most of these majestic creatures, reducing them from millions to just a few hundreds by the 1800s.
However, regenerative farmers use domesticated cattle as a substitute for the wild ruminants that existed in the area. By strategically placing herbivores to graze large pastures, trample the soil, and then get off of it for many months, they’re doing what herds of bison and elk did when they migrated North to South many years ago. This practice regenerates a fully functioning ecosystem, leading to healthy vegetables, fruits, and animals, and eventually to healthy consumers.
We mentioned the climate as well, right?
Our planet spins out of control, with droughts and heat waves and other disasters becoming more common. Many have tried to solve the issue, but none has done a good job so far. We believe regenerative farmers offer the best solution. Their ancient grazing practices leverage the power of photosynthesis in plants not only to build soil health, crop resilience, and nutrient density, but also to close the carbon and water cycle. They can reverse climate damage by restoring degraded land, which will retain more water and draw a lot more carbon down into it.
So, how do we order foods from regenerative farmers to nourish our health, while simultaneously reversing climate damage and supporting animal welfare?
There are currently around 30,000 regenerative farms and ranches in America. For you to buy regenerative food, you’ll have to source a local farm around you. Not always so easy, since America is big and often there’s no farm nearby.
Well, this is why we created Farma :)

Introducing Farma
Farma is an online platform like Amazon or iHerb, only it connects regenerative farms to those interested in their foods. With a platform dedicated to regenerative agriculture, Farma will make it far easier for both you and the farmer.
Farma eliminates the hassle of trying to find a local regenerative farm around you to order from on a regular basis, as well as the hassle of driving there each and every time you want to order. It will automatically show you all the relevant farms where you can order from, and the food will show up at your doorstep.
As a nice bonus, the platform helps enrich your local economy. It keeps the money in your community, because it only connects you to farms around you. This way, shipping costs and delivery times remain low, and food remains fresh.
Actually, we created Farma because we needed something like this ourselves. We wanted an online platform for regenerative products that we could feel safe ordering from. By hiring top-notch developers, and through continuous feedback from Dr. Allen Williams, it took us over a year but we finally made it.
We’re super-excited for you to jump on board and try it :)

Your Health Starts With The Soil
Most cropland in the US is characterized by large monocultures, whose productivity is maintained through a strong reliance on costly tillage, external fertilizers, and pesticides. Despite this, farmers have developed a regenerative model of farm production that promotes soil health and biodiversity, while producing nutrient-dense farm products profitably.
Claire LaCanne & Jonathan Lundgren; Regenerative agriculture: merging farming and natural resource conservation profitably
Farms and ranches must start with a solid foundation:
The soil.
“Soils are the basis of life. 95% of our food comes from the soil,” says Maria-Helena Semedo of the Food and Agriculture Organization. And she’s right.
Dr. Eric C. Brevik estimates that around 78% of the average caloric consumption worldwide comes from crops grown directly in soil, and another nearly 20% comes from terrestrial food sources (like animals) that rely indirectly on soil.
Today, American soil is a pile of bare, ploughed-up dirt; pulverized and beaten to death by the heavy use of chemicals and tillage. Most plant foods here are grown on large monocultures, and most animals are raised in feedlots. The end result is fruits, vegetables, and meats that are deprived of nutrients and their intense natural flavors. Not to talk about the nightmare that these animals are enduring.
And it’s not only America. About a third of the world’s soil has been degraded. Per person, the global amount of land capable of growing crops in 2050 will be only 25% of what it was in 1960. By 2060 it will be asked to give us as much food as we’ve consumed in the last 500 years. According to Thomson Reuters Foundation, generating a little more than an inch of topsoil takes 1,000 years, and if the rates of degradation continue, all of the world’s topsoil could be gone in 60 years.
“We’re losing 30 soccer fields of soil every minute, mostly due to intensive farming,” says Volkert Engelsman, from the IFOAM – Organics International.
For this reason, the #1 priority of regenerative farmers is soil health.
You Can Either Kill or Heal The Soil
Industrial farmers have been focusing for years on yields and profits, using tillage, chemicals, and pesticides to submit nature and force more harvest. In this pursuit of growth rate, rather than quality and nutrients, they’ve depleted our soils.
This has been a terribly wrong thinking all along.
How about collaborating with nature instead? Microbes mediate 90% of soil function. In healthy soil, every acre should be comprised of more than 3 tons of soil bacteria, fungi, protozoa, earthworms, and soil-level insects.
Fungi and bacteria form a partnership with plants. The plant supplies them with sugars, and in exchange they supply it with water and minerals like phosphate that are hard to reach and mine. Mycorrhizae fungi, for instance, increases a plant’s reach and capacity for minerals by 7 times on average. The bacteria, reliant on the plant for sugars, also forms a protection barrier around the plant’s roots.
All those miles of hair roots underneath the plants, they are feeding carbon back to the soil microbiology. If you looked with a microscope on these roots, you would have seen many microorganisms feeding along the root.
Look at the two systems below. The content of the left system was heated, killing everything but some fungal spores. The content on the right contains soil fauna such as earthworms, mites, potworms, collembola, and isopods. See for yourself what the interaction between microbes and fauna does over 15 weeks:
The left side, dead and static, is the soil you’ll find in industrial monocultures, where there’s barely any biotic activity to incorporate plant residues into it. But, this decomposition is a core process in ecology, as it creates habitat for other microfauna and increases gas and water flow through the soil.
In industrial agriculture, farmers see the soil as dirt that they have to till and pump chemicals into in order to grow a crop. But as the video shows, the soil is very much alive. It is ‘dirt’ with the added bonus of bacteria, fungi, protozoa, worms, and insects. It is an ecosystem, where plants act as organic chemists and mediate relationships with microbes, insects, herbivores, and other plants.
Regenerative farms, instead of paying for tillage, fertilizers, and chemicals, just let fungi, bacteria, and soil aggregates do the work. And this is just at the microbial level. In fact, the community structure of these microbes depends on plants for support, so regenerative farmers care for their crops. They use techniques like adaptive grazing and crop rotation, optimizing the entire ecosystem.
But again, it starts with the soil. Some soils are depleted of nutrients and even toxic, containing heavy metals, chemicals, and pathogens. Other soils are healthier. They are major sources of nutrients, also acting as natural filters for contaminants. By eating regenerative foods, you’ll enjoy foods from the best soils in America.
What does this mean?
Less Pollutants In Your Blood
Industrial agriculture practices like tillage, monocropping, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides have damaged our soil health. As a result, they have wrecked havoc on our own health as well. What happens when you eat veggies that were sprayed with anti-microbe chemicals? They end up killing healthy microbes in your gut.
Also, some persistent organic pollutants are highly diluted in the upper layers of industrial soils. For instance, polyhalogenated biphenyls, aromatic hydrocarbons, insecticides, herbicides, nematicides, and fossil fuel combustion byproducts.
Not only can these pollutants make it into your diet, they can also be carried by airborne dust, which industrial cultivation introduces into the atmosphere. It can impact human health, especially when the dust particles are smaller than 10µm. The dust can also carry pathogens, harmful gases, heavy metals, and radioactive materials. These toxicants can enter the bloodstream through the lungs.
Studies of the health effects of such pollutants in the soil are limited. But the half-lives of these chemicals are very long, and they resist decomposition as they move up the food chain. In wildlife, for instance, the pollutant 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) was shown to disrupt the hormones of raptors.
As for heavy metals, exposure through soil contact is a major concern. Some metals, such as Cd, Pb, Hg, and As, are particularly toxic, and may disrupt enzymatic activities that affect the brain and kidneys. In agriculture, these metals may accumulate in the soil due to fertilizer and pesticide use. In orchard soils, for instance, the build-up of arsenic due to pesticides may persist for decades.
The bottom line is that healthy soil excludes toxic compounds from our diet. It leads to healthy plants, which lead to healthy cattle, healthy environment, and healthy humans. It affects everything from our health to the planet.

Optimize Your Gut Microbiome
When farmers damage the soil, we’re going to have a whole host of issues with our health. However, when you eat regenerative foods from Farma, you’re ensuring your gut microbiome is as healthy as it could be. It’s because the microbiome in soil, in plants, in grazing animals, it’s also in us. They’re strikingly similar.
If we want a microbiome that creates welfare for everyone involved, then we must foster it. A microbiome is either going to create positive synergies, or negative ones. The latter leads to disease, pest problems, and productivity issues. So taking care of the microbiome is crucial, and it begins with favorable soil practices.
For instance, dealing with crop diseases by spraying does little more than suppress symptoms. A healthy plant is able to defend itself against most diseases. However, industrial farmers use fertilizers on their crops, which lead to rapid growth, but also to diseases. To deal with these maladies, farmers use pesticides to save the harvest. Without fertilizers, the need for pesticides would be very limited.
And again, by eating foods covered with antimicrobials, you’re inhibiting the growth or altogether killing the healthy microbes in your gut.

Less Pathogens In Your Food
Bad soil contains more harmful pathogens than healthy soil.
Fungi, for instance. Only about 300 fungi species in the soil – out of more than 100,000 that exist – are known to cause disease in humans. Most of them are just saprophytes that absorb nutrients by decomposing dead organisms. However, those 300 species can be a threat. The species Exserohilium rostratum, for example, was responsible for the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak in the US.
As for soil protozoa, most just feed on bacteria and algae. However, some cause human parasitic diseases such as diarrhea and amoebic dysentery.
Soil is a also common fertile ground for parasitic worms that inhibit the human intestines, lymph system, or other tissues. These infect billions of people each year, with around 130,000 deaths. Infections usually occur through ingestion.
Viruses can survive in the soil as well, even though it’s not a natural reservoir for viruses. It is usually human septic or sewage waste that carry these pathogens to live in the soil. Depending on the species, these pathogens may lead to hepatitis, gastroenteritis, polio, aseptic meningitis, or smallpox, to name a few.
Knowing all that, would you still feel okay eating vegetables and fruits from disease-ridden monocrops, or from animals that were fed these crops?
Conventional farming soil is more bacteria-dominated, as opposed to the more fungi-dominated soil that you’ll find in nature or in regenerative agriculture. This kind of soil is more balanced, richer in fungi, nematodes, protozoa, and with better nutrient cycling and less diseases, pathogens, and other pollutants.

More Nutrients In Your Food
Four atoms – H, O, C, and N – make up 99% of the atoms in the human body. Then, seven minor elements – Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, S, and Cl – make up another 0.9%. The remaining 0.1% is made up of 18 additional trace elements, which are crucial to us in small amounts. In total, there are a 29 elements that are essential to us.
When your soils are healthy, they provide a nutrient-rich growth medium for plants. These plants will then grow tissues that contain most of the elements required for mammal life, including cows and humans. In other words, regenerative food is not only free of pollutants and pathogens, it is also much richer in the basic nutrients of life that each and every one of us needs.

Make American Soils Great Again
Mother Nature is smarter than us all, so I let her do all the thinking and most of the work.
Tom Lassiter
So, now that we’ve explained why healthy foods necessarily come from healthy soils, another question remains. Those 30,000 regenerative farms in the US, what exactly are they doing to make their pastures produce such superior foods?
Well, when regenerative farmers are working on rejuvenating a pasture, they do it with its historical ecology in mind. To get a real picture of the biological diversity and capacity of their landscape, they must go back at least 500 years. This ensures that they’re not looking back at a period where it was already degraded.
And that gives them a snapshot of what they can restore this land into. What were the plant species that grew here at the point in time? What were the birds and other wildlife species that existed here? What was the water cycle like?
Only then, can the farmer start implementing the right crops, and use the other unifying principles that make a farm regenerative. Here’s what they do:
1. Regenerative Farmers Don’t Till
Tillage is the practice of digging up, turning over, or agitating the soil, usually with mechanical tools like a plow or a disc. Farmers do it to break up compaction, eliminate weeds, and incorporate cover crops to boost soil fertility.
That being said…
Where in nature do you ever see mechanical disturbance? Nature never tills. There’s only disturbance from earthworms, arthropods, and burrowing animals. Earthworms, for instance, dig their way inside the soil, creating pockets of air, feeding off organic matter and creating a natural fertilizer called humus.
In contrast, mechanical tillage destroys the soil biology:
The soil is a 3D matrix of exudates and sticky threads formed by fungi, bacteria, roots, and other soil biota. These biotic glues bind together sands, silts, clays, and nutrients into larger aggregates. These clumps encapsulate organic matter and slows down its breakdown, and they stabilize the soil structure. The space between these aggregates provide pore space for water and air to go through.
When you till, you bring oxygen into the soil. It wakes up bacteria, which start eating those biotic glues, causing the clumps to collapse and fill up the pore spaces. Congratulations, you’ve destroyed the soil structure. You’ve also damaged fungal networks and microbial colonies. Organic matter is now decomposing faster, and water has trouble infiltrating. Instead, it runs off elsewhere or evaporates.
By the way, plant roots can break around 300 pounds of soil compaction. Fungal strands can break almost 1,100 pounds, helping achieve better aggregation and water infiltration. Another reason why you don’t want to damage fungi.
By tilling, you’ve also removed plant residues from the surface, exposing the soil to the wind. Now not only is the soil having trouble getting enough water, but the wind adds insult to injury and further helps dry it up. Before you know it, your soil begins to crust, restricting plant emergence. The bacteria die, releasing nitrogen, waking up the weeds. And your soil is now depleted of organic matter, which has either decomposed rapidly or has been washed away by wind or water.
This is not just theory. In the paper Aggregation and Soil Organic Matter Accumulation in Cultivated and Native Grassland Soils, you can see how strongly tillage affects the soil. Another review examined the effect of tillage on microbial habitat:
We’ve shown that physically disturbing the soil profile can have profound effects on microbial dynamics of the soil system. A large body of literature supports the view that large-scale disruption of soil by tillage can have highly significant effects on individual microbes and their functions.
Tillage, habitat space and function of soil microbes; I.M. Young & K. Ritz
Therefore, regenerative farmers try not to disturb soil biota with tillage, which they know affects crop quality, pests, disease incidence, nutrient and water cycling, and the sustainability of their farms. Minimizing soil disturbance is a good start to rebuilding soil glue, aggregates, pore spaces, and organic matter.

2. Regenerative Farmers Use Cover Crops
Through photosynthesis, plants convert sun into compounds that they feed to the soil food web. And the more you feed it, the more aggregates you get to boost water infiltration, retain nutrients, avoid compaction, and manage salinity.
However, farmers grow seasonal crops, which have dormant periods. To avoid leaving the soil bare, regenerative farmers plant cover crops. These crops keep harvesting CO2 and sunlight, feeding carbon exudates to the soil food web.
In contrast, conventional farmers harvest their crops, and then let the land sit idle. They give up on so much solar energy, so much liquid sun that they could pump into the soil. It reduces their soil’s health and therefore their food quality. Compare these two croplands, one conventional and the other regenerative:
![](https://regevelya.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image.jpg)
As a regenerative farmer, you never leave the ground bare. Even when you graze, you graze taller. You always keep a living root, so you don’t starve the soil.
Cover crops offer several other benefits to the soil:
- They reduce the impact of rain drops on the soil surface, further minimizing soil compaction and the breakdown of soil aggregates.
- By protecting the soil from the wind, they help it retain moisture and avoid crusting. This prevents disease, death of soil life, and carbon leakage.
- They help maintain better soil temperatures: warmer in cold weather, and cooler in hot weather. Soil life functions best in such temperatures.
- They provide food for beneficial pollinators, insects, and of course your cattle. Cover crops help feed your livestock and use your land more efficiently.
- They catch and release inorganic nutrients, improving water quality by reducing nutrient runoff and leaching into water bodies.
- By adding to crop diversity, cover crops enhance the overall ecosystem resilience. reducing pest and disease pressure.
This short video explores how Charlie Roberts in Halls, TN, is using cover crops to protect soil health and increase water infiltration on his cropland:
By the way, regenerative farmers further extend the benefits of cover crops by leaving all crop residue remaining after harvest untouched. This residue acts as soil armor, further protecting it against wind, rain, and extreme temperatures. And it also enriches the soil. Crops have microorganisms all over their stems and leaves, which enter the soil when you leave their biomass laid down there.
If you notice, nature is always trying to cover the soil. She wants it protected from wind, rain, excess heat, and from being too cold. She’s putting all these plants to act as solar panels, to suck energy out of the atmosphere and pump it into the soil.
Regenerative farmers are doing the exact same thing. And now your foods will be far more delicious and healthy thanks to it.

3. Regenerative Farmers Diversify Their Crops
Not only do the fungi provide for the needs of one plant but the fungal/hyphae pipeline connect to multiple plants. This helps satisfy the nutritional and energy needs of microorganisms and the plants.
Dr. Kristine Nichols, soil microbiologisT
Nature always creates diverse ecosystems, never a monoculture. Everywhere you go where nature still has control, you’ll see complexity and an abundance of plants, insects, microbes and wildlife. Walk into a forest or out onto a prairie and notice the wide array of species, and of leaf sizes and shapes. It’s there for a reason.
Diversity fosters a healthy soil, evident by the amount of plant biomass. G. David Tilman from the University of Minnesota showed that as you increase the diversity of grasses, forbs, legumes, trees, and shrubs on an ecosystem, you’re also going to get more overall plant biomass than if you had less diversity covering the land.
The Journals of Lewis and Clark describe the Northern Plains as having abundant plant diversity that provided forage for large herbivore groups. When settlement of these plains brought agriculture, this polyculture landscape was replaced by a monoculture one. Soil life stopped receiving carbon exudates from a diverse array of plants capturing sunlight and CO2, but from only one plant at a time.
But plants thrive when they grow in close proximity of each other. This way, they’re able to share nutrients and phytochemicals through the vast underground network of mycorrhizal fungi, which connects them all. These compounds help each plant to thrive in challenging condition, and fight off pests and disease.
Monoculture practices impact ecosystem health for the worse. It limits the production capacity and profitability potential of a landscape.
Regenerative farmers rotate their crops, planting different ones sequentially on the same plot of land in order to improve soil health, increase its nutrient profile, and fight off pest and weed pressure. They mimic nature, providing more biodiversity for the soil food web, which is crucial to the soil’s long-term sustainability.
Farmers design these rotations to take advantage of different crop types, such as high or low water users, tap or fibrous roots, or high or low carbon. For instance, a farmer planted a field of corn. When the harvest is finished, he might plant beans. Corn consumes a lot of nitrogen, and beans return nitrogen to the soil. It involved just two crops, but complex rotations might involve more a dozen crops.
When regenerative farmers let grass grow on their grazing pastures, they don’t just want one grass species growing. They want multiple grass species, from large grasses like bamboo or corn, to small ones like annual bluegrass. And they don’t want just grasses. They want legumes and forbs and shrubs and trees.
Why is this important?
Different plants have different nutritional needs, and are susceptible to different pathogens and pests. If you plant the same crop over and over, as conventional farmers usually do, you keep drawing the same nutrients out of the soil. Pests and diseases make themselves at home, as their preferred food source is guaranteed. Pesticides soon become necessary in order to keep them away.
In contrast, crop rotation interrupts pest and disease cycles. It improves soil health by having different root structures, and helps return nutrients to the soil without synthetic inputs. Life both beneath and above the soil thrives on diversity. You’ll see many butterflies and bees on regenerative farms, moving biology from one leaf to another. Beneath the surface, it’s even more impressive: a teaspoon of healthy soil has around 8 billion organisms, as many as there are humans on earth.
The result is a healthy ecosystem, and healthy produce.

4. No Synthetic Inputs
Pests were 10-fold more abundant in insecticide-treated corn fields than on insecticide-free regenerative farms, indicating that farmers who proactively design pest-resilient food systems outperform farmers that react to pests chemically.
Claire LaCanne & Jonathan Lundgren; Regenerative agriculture: merging farming and natural resource conservation profitably
Many farmers are convinced they need man-made interventions. They think they need to pump their soils with nutrients like carbon, hydrogen, or nitrogen.
However, these elements are in the air, and they’re free. Why pay for something that’s free? There’s around 32,000 tons of atmospheric nitrogen above every acre. Plants absorb carbon, nitrogen, and other elements out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis. They produce all these carbon compounds that they need for their own growth, and then pump the rest into the soil in order to feed the soil life.
Regenerative farmers work with nature, growing living plants year-round, allowing them to capture and store these nutrients in their cells. And as the plants run their life cycle and die, soil life will cycle their nutrients. Nothing goes to waste.
Synthetic fertilizers come from a time in which nobody understood the soil. It was a miracle for farmers, doubling the harvest. We now know their damage:
Their widespread use has led to soils that no longer have all of the minerals, nutrients, and soil life that plants need in order to thrive. This has resulted in plants that quickly become weak, and very prone to disease.
They kill mycorrhizae fungi that drastically increase a plant’s water reach. In other words, they force you to water your crops a lot more often. And since less fungi also results in less soil aggregates, the ground becomes compacted easily. Meaning, a farmer need to plow deeper these days, further destroying the soil.
Using fertilizers also stimulates bacteria to decompose organic matter, releasing CO2 back into the atmosphere. Instead, if you allowed humus to fertilize your crops, that CO2 would have remained locked in the soil. Humus is created when soil creatures break down dead leaves, dead roots, and dead animals.
And it’s what regenerative farmers rely on.
Regenerative farmers realize that the soil is alive. It’s always been alive. It’s not a matrix of rocks and dirt, but a living ecosystem. Understanding that the soil’s alive changes everything. Suddenly farmers understand that they can feed the soil using living plants, rather than relying on fertilizers. Once they stop using fertilizers, suddenly they realize they can rely on root exudates to kill pathogens, rather than spraying their crops with insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides.

5. Regenerative Farmers Integrate Animals
The results suggest that management-intensive rotational grazing offers farmers increased forage quality and quantity when compared to continuous grazing or haying. In addition, these systems have greater potential for carbon sequestration compared to the other systems.
CENTER FOR INTEGRATED AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS
You can drive through farms in the central US for hundreds of miles without seeing a fence, without seeing an animal or even an insect on the landscape. This is a very bad thing to have if you’re trying to foster a healthy ecosystem.
Simply put, ecosystems do not function well without animals and insects.
When an animal grazes, the physical action of biting and tugging stimulates the plant to produce root exudates to feed microorganisms, which break down organic matter into nutrients. This nutrient cycling helps the plant regrow, and plants in proximity grow stronger and more nutritious as well. Also, the trampling effect of the grazing helps organic matter have better contact with the soil, protecting it against oxidization and nutrient loss, and helping in seed germination.
Now, as the animal is grazing, it eats the microorganisms that are on the plant leaves and stem, but it also leaves its own microorganisms on the plant before it moves on. This is a positive interaction that diversifies the landscape’s biota.
However, you don’t want animals to graze a pasture all the time. You want them to take a bite and move on. This is what happens in nature, when migrating herds of herbivores graze a grassland and continue, not returning until next year.
To mimic that, regenerative farmers use rotational grazing. A cow’s tugging and biting and heavy movement may challenge the pasture, but nature is resilient and recovers well from such insults as long as they’re brief. By rotating pastures, you can allow each pasture to rest, boosting the health and life beneath and above the soil, while producing the most delicious meat you’ve ever tasted.
In regenerative farming, you’re moving your cattle daily. And you’ll use fences, trained dogs, even cowboys or cowgirls on horseback, to herd the animals and give the pasture a long, healthy rest period before returning them to graze.
To illustrate, if you have a single cow grazing 10 acres for an entire season, that one cow may overgraze the field and kill thousands of plants. But if you put a thousand cows on those same 10 acres for just a few hours, they will not kill a single plant. They will actually enhance the long-term health of the soil and plants.
As the French biochemist and grazer André Voisin described, overgrazing has little to do with the number of grazing animals, but more to do with the amount of time plants were exposed to these animals. Overgrazing damages the ability of plants to regrow. By having fewer plants, you reduce productivity, expose the soil to erosion, and decrease the amount of carbon and sunlight that you pull down.
When you graze more than 50% of a plant, you start sloughing the roots off. With a smaller root biomass, the plant takes up less nutrients. Instead, you run the risk of leaching these nutrients below the root zone, where water will carry them off into groundwater. Nutrients that could be used for plant growth are now lost. Also, the plant is no longer sending carbon into the soil, because it needs all the carbon it can capture in order to repair itself and reach a point of vegetative growth.
With the animal presence on an overgrazed pasture, soil compaction increases due to their treading hooves and the lack of plant biomass. There’s collateral damage, with manure gases, reduced water infiltration, and damaged soil structure.
When you graze properly, you only take half the plant and keep it at mid-stage maturity. You’re moving to another pasture, leaving the previous one pumping carbon pretty strong throughout the rest of the season.
If you want to see how planned, rotational grazing improves a pasture in real life, check out the Ranney Ranch in Corona, New Mexico. They’ve changed to this type of grazing during a 15-year drought, something unheard of. Seeing the difference on each side of their border fence should be all the evidence you need:
Rotational grazing is also adaptive. Every organism has a memory, including plants and soil microbes, who respond to prior grazing. If you use the same rotation year after year, they become stagnant and stop improving. Similar to an athlete who must alter his routine to keep improving, you must alter your rotations if you want your soil microbes, plants, and livestock to become more resilient.
How does a regenerative farmer do it?
For example, you could change the stock density. If you had 100,000 lbs per acre the previous season, you could double or halve it. Or you could change the times of year when you graze it. You could change the species – grazing a paddock with both cattle and sheep at the same time has a different effect than having them graze separately. You could alter the rest periods of pastures. You could alter orientation as well: for a heavier trample impact and greater tapping of the latent seed bank, make paddocks long and narrow in shape. These will cause the cattle to move up and down the length of the paddock multiple times in a single graze.
Another beautiful example is Don Jackson’s first 6 months into the transition to rotational grazing. Don and his son Patrick are seeing huge changes in cattle health, and in the amount of forage and beneficial insects:
It’s not only about grazing animals, but about insects as well. We want insects. For every pest species, there are about 1,700 species that are neutral or beneficial. As we discussed, a big reason why farms have pests is because of a lack of diversity.
Seen another way, the move from conventional to regenerative farming is a move from an agriculture based on killing to one based on life. Instead of waking up every morning to kill weeds or pests, you wake up every morning trying to decide how to get more living organisms on your operation. It’s refreshing.
This 12 minutes film, “Soil Carbon Cowboys”, really captures the essence of rotational grazing together with the other principles:

By Eating Regenerative…
The farmers themselves have devised an ecologically based production system comprised of multiple practices that are woven into a profitable farm that promotes ecosystem services. Regenerative farms fundamentally challenge the current food production paradigm that maximizes gross profits at the expense of net gains for the farmer.

You’re Getting Healthy, Delicious Foods
The result of all of these combined strategies are delicious, nourishing meat, fruits, and vegetables. No food on Farma will ever bring any growth hormone, GMO, antibiotic, pesticide, herbicide, or preservative close to your plate.
We’ve handpicked each of the regenerative farms on Farma, ensuring they have the Regenified certificate. In each of them, the animals live on healthy, diverse, thriving pastures, eating what nature has intended for them to eat. No mechanical tillage, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or overgrazing took place.
The beef you buy on Farma, for instance, was all grazing thick rangeland grass and a mixture of plants. In other words, the steak you’ll eat will be as similar as it could be to the steak you would have eaten had you hunted a bison 700 years ago.
It’ll be healthy too. Most conventional meat in America grows in feedlots, eating an unsuitable diet of grains from monoculture crops. Compare this to regenerative cattle, who are free to choose what they eat. In fact, you can’t select by hand a diet as nutritious as what an animal will eat if it has options. Dr. Fred Provenza showed that if your pastures are diverse enough, herbivores will eat 30-60 species of plants every day. They can detect nutrient deficiencies within hours, and adjust.
Monoculture crops don’t allow this selectivity of diet.
For grazing animals, a landscape with plant diversity is a nutrition hub. It’s also a pharmacy full of phytochemicals. Even random weeds – which are welcome on regenerative pastures – offer real benefits to the cows. They add nutrient density to their diets, and they’re medicinal and allow cows to self-medicate and deworm.
Such phytochemical-rich diets create healthier animal proteins for us to eat. These phytochemicals pass on to their meats and eggs, providing protection against protein oxidation and lipid peroxidation. These are known factors in the systemic inflammation associated with heart disease and some cancers.
Really, our health is tied to phytochemical diversity. When you bite into a fleshy strawberry or a delicious steak, you consume more than calories. You consume phytochemicals. Carotenoids, flavonoids, ellegic acid, and allium compounds – tens of thousands of such phytonutrients are in our plant and animal foods. They’re antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, protecting all of our body systems.
Conventional farming’s focus on yields has led to an insane decline in the nutritional value of our foods. Tillage, chemicals, synthetic fertilizers, fungicides, and insecticides interrupt have greatly reduced phytochemical activity. Vegetables and fruits are 25-80% less nutritionally dense today than they were 50 years ago.
Hidden hunger is real:
Calories are more accessible than ever, but people are getting sicker. The shift away to highly processed, industrial foods has enabled more than 2 billion people to become overweight and obese, with higher rates of diet-related diseases like diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disorders, and various cancers.
Change starts at the farm. Regenerative farmers restore soils to their historical ecology, nourishing plants and livestock with a boatload of nutrients.
In short, by eating regenerative products, you’re adding nutrient density to your foods and improve your family’s health. Modern agriculture has industrialized food production, planting monoculture crops, degrading our soils and destroying biology. The result is cheaper foods with less nutrition and more pollutants.

You’re Supporting Farmers Who CARE
Rural America has been in crisis for a long time. Did you know that farmers suffer the highest suicide rate of any profession in the US? Farmers often complain how retail giants are squeezing every last cent out of their pockets, forcing them to sell at commodity prices, making them dependent on government subsidies.
For a proud American farmer, this is no way to live a life.
By ordering your food from Farma, you’ll order directly from regenerative farmers around you. You’ll order directly from the farmers who care deeply about the soil, the planet, and the health of the animals and the people who eat them.
These good American folk take great effort in doing things the right way. They take a degraded landscape and improve it. They introduce a healthy diversity through crop rotation. They restore microbial health. They observe how their cattle graze, and adjust accordingly. They eliminate the use of tillage and synthetic inputs. They take as shovel and see what’s beneath the soil. They test for aggregates. They try to attract beneficial insects like lady beetles, dung beetles, and pollinators.
These farmers are selling you 100% US-produced, top quality foods. And while they’re doing so, they’re leaving the land healthy to the next generation, not degraded or or pulverized to death like conventional agriculture does.
Buy from Farma and provide farmers with a fair return on their labor.

You’re Rebuilding Your Local Ecosystem
When you choose to buy from regenerative farms, you’re helping revitalize rural America. To start with, you’re helping fix your ecosystem’s natural cycle:
The cycle starts with plants sucking sunlight and CO2 from the air. They also break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. They combine the hydrogen and CO2 into sugar, which they use or give to soil microbes. These microbes, in exchange, give them nutrients that they created by converting nitrogen pulled through air spaces. As animals then graze the land, they naturally fertilize it, and stimulate the plants to grow in more biomass, absorbing even more carbon and sun into the soil.
It’s a beautiful cycle.
Remember when we talked about the importance of soil aggregates, those clumps of soil particles and nutrients that biotic glues bind together? Each one of those aggregates lasts about 27 days, and without them, the soil can’t breath. No oxygen enters, and no CO2 leaves. This creates a crust. Your soil can’t regulate well, and soon becomes home for pathogens and disease. Above all, water can’t get in.
The heat of the sun causes plants and soils to transpire. Their lost moisture later comes back in the form of rain. But to be able to re-absorb it, you need good soil aggregates. Rainwater isn’t meant to run off and evaporate, it’s meant to sink into the earth, help plant and soil life, and even saturate aquifers and springs.
When water has hard time sinking into the soil, you’ll always be praying for the next rain. This is why regenerative ranches are more resilient in drought. They ensure the continuous formation of aggregates through fostering a diversity of crops year-round, and through avoiding tillage and synthetics.
Having plant diversity attracts microbes, fungi, and creatures such as earthworms, which create the biotic glues that form aggregates. And by avoiding tillage and synthetic fertilizers or pesticides, you’re helping aggregates stay intact.
Now, without a proper water cycle, you don’t have a nutrients cycle. Soil microbes are sub-aquatic organisms. To keep breaking down organic matter into nutrients, they need water. To convert complex organic compounds into simpler inorganic compounds, they need water. This healthy cycle of nutrients in well-aggregated soils means you don’t have to keep using things like lime and fertilizers.
We keep coming back to soil aggregates. To help create more aggregates and restore the ecosystem, regenerative farmers also make sure the soil is covered with a living plant 365 days a year, no exceptions. Those plants feed the soil with carbon year-round, and the microbes underneath keep creating the aggregates.
This, in short, is the cycle of regeneration. Imagine how much better our environment would be if all farms across America took care of it.

You’re Giving Animals a Great Life
Livestock producers are finding morbidity and mortality decrease when stocker cattle forage on diverse mixtures of plants rather than monoculture pastures.
Dr. Fred Provenza
Animals nourish us with their flesh. We should be grateful and respect that. That means either to hunt them on the wild, where they live a free life until their one bad day arrives (hunted either by man or another beast). Or we should raise them in an ethical, compassionate way, where they live well until their last day.
Unfortunately, the conventional meat sold in America comes from animals whose every day in life is an absolute nightmare. They live in tiny spaces with barely enough room to move, eating a diet totally unsuitable for their genetics.
In contrast, the animals on regenerative farms lead an amazing existence, roaming on native prairie grasses, free of worries, getting everything they need. They live on farm systems that work in harmony with nature and improve the quality of life for every creature within that system, from microbes to the cows and chickens.
Regenerative cows are not just healthier than feedlot cows, but are also healthier than grass-fed cows raised on regular pastures. Dr. Fred Provenza’s work showed that animals foraging on a broad array of plant species are much healthier and perform better than animals restricted to a smaller selection of plants.
For instance, those forbs that others often refer to us “weeds”, regenerative farmers leave them be. These plants are part of a complete ecosystem. First, they produce a distinct array of soil root exudates that attract beneficial soil microbes. And second, the cows feeding on them enjoy an incredible array of chemical compounds that are medicinal in nature and have natural anti-parasitic properties.
The result is happy, healthy animals, and healthy, delicious meat. By treating the cattle well through rotational grazing on a diversity of plants, you’re also bringing unmatched flavor and nutrient profile to the meat on your plate.
And it’s poultry as well. All the chickens and ducks on Farma come from Farms that raise them outside, protected from predators, and with plenty of room and sunshine every day. On the pastures, the birds peck and scratch up insects, worms, grasses, seeds, anything they can find. They live better than most of us :)
As for pork, these animals are perhaps the ones who suffer the most as a result of industrial agriculture. These animals truly live a daily nightmare. It’s an intelligent animal, and industrial farmers keep them in cages, barely able to move. In contrast, regenerative pork comes from pigs that forage for food 100% in the open.

You’re Taking Care of CO2 Levels
Using livestock to reverse desertification is totally scalable to about two-thirds of the world’s land. And that can be done extremely low cost. This takes the only thing that we need out of the air, and holds it.
Allan Savory
Heatwaves, hurricanes, wildfires, air pollution, floods, droughts, dust storms, and land erosion. The urgency to address climate change has never been higher. Two-thirds of the world’s grasslands have desertified, turned into desert.
Beyond the obvious dangers, these climate effects have also reduced crop yields, destroyed livestock, and interfered with the transport of food. They are putting at risk the food supplies not just in the US, but around the entire world. We have to feed billions of hungry people today in a rapidly degrading climate.
To solve these issues, vegans have been advocating for removing cattle from the landscape, which they target as a major cause of the rising CO2 levels.
However, the problem isn’t the cattle, but how you use them.
When you raise cattle in feedlots, they’ll be net-negative for the climate. However, when you let them graze the landscape strategically, they’ll pull down enormous amounts of carbon back into the soil, reviving the environment.
In nature, when herbivores graze a landscape, they trample carbon dioxide and plant matter on the soil surface. They quickly move to another pasture, but before doing so, they’ve stimulated the plants to create more root exudates to feed the soil life below. Plants increase in biomass, pulling more carbon from the atmosphere.
Regenerative farmers farms like nature does. They keep a diversity of living crops at all times, which constantly trap CO2 from the atmosphere into the soil. When their cattle graze the crops once in a while, their hooves aerate compacted soils and incorporate dead plants, animals, and manure into it. And their biting stimulates vigorous plant growth, which leads to more carbon being sucked from above.
So, to mitigate climate change, we need more animals on the landscape, not less.
Of course, there’s also that methane issue that people associate with cattle. But in healthy soils, plant phytochemicals stimulate microbes like methanotrophs, which digest methane. This is how nature took care of methane from the hundreds of millions of wild ruminants that once roamed the face of the earth.
So, while vegans may want all the credit, regenerative farmers are the ones who address both soil restoration and the reduction of atmospheric CO2 levels. Our planet needs that now more than ever. Dr. Allen Williams explains it well:
When we degrade our soils, we capture and store less carbon, the world gets hotter, and the land further degrades. It’s a cycle. So really, our first resource concern should be to capture as much carbon as we can, and feed it to soil life.
Also, rising levels of CO2 in the atmosphere affects our foods:
For instance, Dr. Sam Myers found that when he exposed grain crops to the CO2 levels predicted for 2050, they lost as much as 10% of their zinc, 5% of their iron, and 8% of their protein. This could be a serious problem in countries where zinc, iron, and protein deficiencies are major causes of maternal mortality around childbirth, brain development in kids, and other serious health risks.
Right now, more than 2 billions people worldwide are undernourished. If our crops keep losing nutrients due to climbing CO2 levels, millions more will be at risk of nutritional deficiencies. And we already mentioned the climate-related floods, heatwaves, and droughts, which destroy entire staple food crops.
By ordering food from Farma, you’ll help break this cycle. You’ll help regenerative farmers continue to improve soil health and provide it with an unmatched level of security against floods, heat waves, and other natural disasters.
It really is simple:
Plants sucking CO2 from the atmosphere, and animals trampling the land to help trap that CO2 in the soil. The way it works when nature is left undisturbed.
The numbers are there:
The Croatan Institute published a report that shows how $700 billion investments in regenerative agriculture in the next 30 years could not only return $10 trillion, but also mitigate 170 gigatons of CO2 emissions. To put that into context, to fulfill the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s recommendation to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees centigrade, we need to remove at least 100 gigatons.
It’s almost unbelievable, but for every 1% increase in organic matter, an acre of soil keeps down 10 times more carbon. As you saw, regenerative farmers foster an incredible amount of organic matter in the soil through tillage elimination, cover crops, cycling plant residue through cattle trampling the land, and more.

Order Regenerative Food From Farma
Your chance to repair, restore, and revitalize America is here:
Industrial farming has polluted our country, producing low-nutrient foods that are also full of toxins and chemical inputs. They’ve led to an epidemic of obesity and diabetes, and have lowered animal living standards to a despicable level.
In contrast, regenerative agriculture is about the renewal of the ecosystem and our foods. It aims to regenerate the soil, increase biodiversity, and improve the mineral, carbon, and water cycles. All the while, it ensures a healthy, ethical life to farm animals, and keeps the nutrients where they belong – in our food.
This cycle of regeneration starts with a living plant that captures sun and CO2, convert them, and feed the organisms beneath the soil. These organisms, in turn, enrich the plant with nutrients and water. The animals above eat these healthy plants, become very healthy and produce healthy meat for us, and encourage the plants to regrow in more mass, absorbing even more CO2 into the soil.
Therefore, regenerative agriculture is the solution to many, many of the issues that we’re facing – human health, animal ethics, and climate included.
So, clean up your diet and the ecosystem. Try Farma’s regenerative food and see how true sustainability tastes like. Nourish your family, nourish the planet, and ensure the proper respect to the animals who feed us. You won’t find any processed junk on Farma. What you will find is the most nutritious food in existence.
