we know that when ruminants graze on land when animals use land properly the land becomes richer and is able to sequester more carbon than it was before the animals were there which is the whole idea of this premise

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
I believe would be fundamentally profoundly paradigm shifting to the way the ecosystems work on the earth and people would really see that properly done agriculture can be carbon negative it can sequester carbon in the soil
I had a moment while I was there looking at dirt from the farm which had 5% organic matter compared to a plot of land which does not belong to well Harris who owns white oak pastures 25 feet over the fence line that was less than 1% organic matter and this is what happens when we do regenerative agriculture we put so much organic matter back into the soil that it's dark and brown and just full of life and nutrients that goes into the grass and then into all the animals there and then into us
they have been doing regenerative agriculture there for 20 plus years which means rotational grazing of cattle putting compost back into the soil the soil there is so brown it has so much organic matter it's incredible and you'll hear me talking about this much more but there's no spraying of pesticides the cows don't get b12 James Wilkes and darn it if the meat isn't delicious it is such clean meat it is amazing this grass-fed grass-finished to the nines
in the last 20 years they've been doing regenerative agriculture because will Harris the owner is a amazing individual very aware very foresighted very progressive in his thinking and they have been able to increase the amount of organic matter in their soil from 0.5 to 5%
the soil is so much darker there they are enriching the soil with organic matter it is now over 5% organic matter in comparison to none regenerative farms which are less than 0.5 more organic matter more water less runoff healthier plants healthier more nutrients need i say more no way this is the good stuff you guys
because it means there's so much more Ganic matter in the soil that is able to hold rainwater able to sequester carbon able to support life able to create very green grass
the soil is rich and dark it is increasing organic matter in the soil they are sequestering carbon is carbon negative
last 20 years they've been doing regenerative agriculture which is the answer for soil quality for rainwater retention in the soil for prevention of erosion and recreates ecosystems
Support them and your health will be better for it. Believe me, you will appreciate White Oak pastures.
when you come to the farm in october for white oak cello which i hope you all will you will see the way that regenerative farming works they rotationally graze they compost all of the animal remains and waste back onto the soil and the bad ways the good ways the pool the pee and basically bones in parts of the animals that aren't used and mostly would throw in a garbage can or a landfill they put back onto the land the way that it's supposed to be as the bison used to die on the land as a deer dies in the woods on the land and becomes a part of the soil that makes the soil so much richer when you touch the
this is the type of agriculture where cows are rotationally grazed and it is found to be carbon negative life cycle analyses show that this type of farming increases the carbon carrying capacity of the soil and increases the organic matter in the soil
the net total emissions of white oak pastures beef is negative
the soil at white oak pastures is enriched with carbon over time because the ecosystems based approach of regenerative agriculture is sequestering carbon into the soil this is what creates healthy soils and allows humans to live on the land
this is the way we should be raising animals this is the future of our planet the soil carbon index is what determines whether we can continue to raise plants and animals and be sustainably living on this planet so supporting this type of agriculture is so important
they do grass-fed grass-finished meat raised in a way that sequesters carbon into the soil this is how the planet will survive you guys
they move them from pasture to pasture there's composting of the fields they're not eating the grass all the way to the end they're eating the grass a little bit and then they move them there's birds flying around they've recreated ecosystems
pasture there's composting of the fields they're not eating the grass all the way to the end they're eating the grass a little bit and then they move them there's birds flying around they've recreated ecosystems this is how animals used to live on this planet this is what created the fertile land of the western u.s natural regenerative agriculture this is the type of agriculture practice at white oak pastures
this is the type of agriculture that we should be supporting because it will ensure the health of the soil and that will ensure the health of future generations the animals are treated properly they're healthier and they nourish you more
you look at the soil at white oak it's brown it's dark it's black like coffee it's way more carbon which holds rain water which prevents erosion which makes healthier plants healthier animals
they are really leading the charge in the regenerative agriculture space 120-year family farm the last 22 years regenerative increasing the soil carbon from 0.5 to 5 being the model for grass-fed grass-finished regenerative agriculture
vote for regenerative agriculture or else you're voting for nestle and unilever and cargill and monsanto
and you know that's what they do down at for example at white oak pastures is those animals are moved sometimes multiple times a day
this is a graphic from white oak pastures showing soil organic matter soil carbon and it goes from over the course of 20 years it goes from one percent carbon or one percent organic matter to five percent organic matter in the soil
well guess what farms like white oak pastures roam ranch etc that are doing regenerative can see much acceleration in that return to viability and fecundity of that land when you raise animals on the land
how it makes better animals healthier animals which are more nutritious
my system will feed more people per acre living sacred then you know we
the best way is is the blueprint of white oak pastures and other Farms that are regenerative doing it that way and they're raising the cows on the land they're rotating Fields they're only eating grass from the day they're born I mean I guess they're eating milk from their mothers but grass and milk what they're supposed to eat and then they when they're when they're harvested when they're killed they're done in a very Humane fashion
the way that so there's a couple of ways that that cows can be raised if we talk about cows and the best way is is the blueprint of white oak pastures and other farms that are regenerative doing it that way and they're raising the cows on the land they're rotating fields they're only eating grass from the day they're born i mean I guess they're eating milk from their mothers but grass and milk what they're supposed to eat and then they when they're when they're harvested when they're killed they're done in a very humane fashion
