White Oak Pastures Farm - One Hundred Thousand Beating Hearts

Fourth generation cattleman, Will Harris, shares his evolution from industrial, commodity cowboy to sustainable, humane food producer. A growing group of consumers look at beef consumption as a terrible environmental and moral choice. Harris’s work in southwest Georgia shows how he produces healthy beef that regenerates his soils and allow the animals to express their natural instincts. The 150+ jobs he has created are breathing new life into a community left behind and forgotten due to, as Will says, the industrialization of agriculture.

Charles Massy - How Regenerative Agriculture Can Help Heal the Planet and Human Health

Regenerative agriculture is an ecological approach to agriculture that enables natural systems & functions to not just be renewed, but also to do the renewing: to self-organize back to healthy function, a radical idea of empowering and not controlling nature. In this talk, Charlie Massy OA draws on his decades of farming experience and research to propose new ways of farming that don't harm the land and the planet in the way industrial agricultural practices can. Along the way, he shares some of his own personal journey of learning and change, and explains how he came to be the regenerative farming advocate he is today. Charles gained a BS in Zoology at ANU (1976), before going farming and developing a prominent Merino sheep stud business (Severn Park).  He still manages the family’s grazing property in NSW while teaching at universities and consulting in the fields of Merino breeding and landscape design. He has chaired and served as a Director on a number of national and international review panels and boards of business, research organizations and statutory wool bodies, involving garment manufacture, wool marketing, R&D, molecular genetics and genomics. Charlie’s concern about land degradation and the Anthropocene crisis led to him completing a PhD in Human Ecology (ANU) in 2012. This resulted in his new book, Call of the Reed Warbler: A New Agriculture – A New Earth (UQP Sept. 2017) concerning the emergence of a regenerative agriculture in Australia and cause for hope This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Joel Salatin - There's a Different Way to Farm

We shot with Joel Salatin for the Food Lies film and he showed us that everything most people have heard about farming is wrong. It is GOOD for the animals, it IMPROVES the soil, it's BETTER for the environment, and it provide HEALTHY food for humans. Don't believe the vegan lies and propaganda. 

Portions of this will appear in the feature-length documentary FoodLies.org which is crowdfunding on Indiegogo now

Allan Savory - How to Green the World's Deserts and Reverse Climate Change

NOTE: Statements in this talk have been challenged by other scientists working in this field. Read more here: https://blog.ted.com/allan-savorys-ho...

"Desertification is a fancy word for land that is turning to desert," begins Allan Savory in this quietly powerful talk. And terrifyingly, it's happening to about two-thirds of the world's grasslands, accelerating climate change and causing traditional grazing societies to descend into social chaos. Savory has devoted his life to stopping it. He now believes -- and his work so far shows -- that a surprising factor can protect grasslands and even reclaim degraded land that was once desert.
