A strong sense of ecological production practices exists and fortunately this country does not have to hit as severe an “undo” button as countries like the U.S. Interestingly, the huge machine trade show hall featured only one chipper and not a single manure spreader. A broad hopefulness of reversing the degenerative trend is apparent.
Just like Jesus presented Himself as "the bread of life" so those of us in the authentic food and farming tribe present our protocols and production as life-giving rather than sickness-giving--economically, emotionally, and ecologically. Church becomes mechanical, just like the factory farmed pig.
As a result of the ROC standards, livestock now graze the cover crops in the almond orchards, fertilizing the soil with their manure and providing space for beneficial insects. For livestock farmer and Land to Market certified producer Reuben Hendricks of Cabriejo Ranch , good ecology is good for business.
Prescribed grazing is a versatile and ecologically-based wildfire mitigation strategy with well-documented co-benefits including carbon sequestration, native plant and habitat restoration, and the production of local food and fiber. near communities or critical infrastructure) or not appropriate for the ecosystem (e.g.
Alternative Manure Management Practices (AMMP) The FFNSA does not contain a proposal to support AMMP technologies as envisioned in the ARA or the COWS Act. Without robust funding for public research that promotes ecologically-based production systems, scientific and technical innovation is stifled, and U.S.
The project involves using alternative feeds, like seaweed, for cows (reducing those methane burps), better manure management and growing more grass and feed crops using regenerative agriculture. Producer premiums for regenerative products have begun to pop up but, as Bande notes, the financing mechanism must be “way broader” than this.
But instead it shackled us, enslaved us to nefarious scientists bringing us fertilizer and menus from laboratories instead of from God’s ecological womb. Floating on a sea of cheap energy, these facilities promised mechanized farming and pharmaceutical health. Travelers drug manure into hotels. SEGREGATED VERSUS INTEGRATED.
Failure to robustly fund public research that promotes ecologically-based production systems stifles scientific and technical innovation and leaves US farmers and ranchers unable to fully participate in and benefit from emerging markets for sustainably-produced foods.
