What if the health of a LOT of soil could get a LOT healthier......pretty quickly??? What would that do to the health and flavor of our whole food system? What would it do to help combat climate change? This soil health revolution might be closer than you think.
----
We’ve talked about the important role that no-till farming plays in creating healthier soil…..and the fact that this is a challenge for organic as well as conventional farming systems……….since both of them rely on tilling up the land to control weeds ahead of planting.
With the help of some amazing robots that mechanically can cut the weeds in-between the crop rows on the farm, regenerative agriculture at scale is on the horizon.
This amazing breakthrough was created by Greenfield Robotics…..a company located in Cheney, KS and co-founded by my good friend, Clint Brauer, who is also the CEO.
In this week’s episode – we will hear more from Clint both about how his robots are about to bring forth a regenerative agricultural revolution…..and how he is applying regenerative principles in on his own farm……and as part of building a regenerative supply chain for a top pet food company.
In my discussion with Clint, we also talk about the flavor differences that come from growing vegetables in many different mediums.....and how the flavor of food can have some surprising connections to health of the soil.
