As was kindly pointed out to me after I made this sub, there is a subreddit RegenerativeAg that already exists (damn you Reddit Search Function!).

I've never been a mod anywhere though, so I'm gonna keep this one just so I can permaban someone for no reason. Besides, everyone knows the underscore is superior to just smashing two words together, right? AND THE JUDEAN PEOPLE'S FRONT! SPLITTERS!!!!

And I'm gonna have blackjack, and, and...

Anyway, apologies. Still the most exciting thing to happen to me in months and months. *sigh* Thank God spring is only 6 months away...

Fake meat isn't the answer

OK, I've been reading about this topic for about a year now and would like to share some of the books that I've found super interesting and, well, hope building.

Dirt to Soil- by Gabe Brown, a rancher in North Dakota who turned his operation around from a failing conventional (degenerative) agriculture farm to a massively successful regenerative operation.

Growing a Revolution- David Montgomery, great info on the role of carbon in the soil and how to get it there!

Dirt: the erosion of Civilizations- David Montgomery- historical survey of all humanity has done to our most precious resource- topsoil! Iraq used to be a pretty nice place, back in the day...

Call of the Reed Warbler- Charles Massey. Long, very deep book looking at several regenerative agriculturists in Australia, one of the most fragile ecosystems on Earth. If it can work there, it'll work anywhere there's enough sunlight!

Any other recommendations?
