Why do we need Science in Regenerative Agriculture? Quite a few people in regen space have recently asked me why we need science. If we have already seen regen work, what does applying the scientific method contribute? Please read here : ecdysis.bio/post/why-science

Cows are a crucial part of saving the bees. New research shows that regeneratively managed cattle promote flowers and plants on rangelands, which leads to stronger hives that resist pests like varroa. links.email.frontiersin.org/…

New science shows that regenerative grazing is as effective as parasiticides for controlling internal parasites in cattle. Let’s keep the money in ranchers’ pockets instead of the chem companies bio.us14.list-manage.com/tra…

Here is the recording that I gave to; free for the next month. I discuss the extensive research and future of science in agriculture. They may not like what they heard, but they won't forget it.... iastate.hosted.panopto.com/P…

delivered to Iowa State University. It was the best attended Shivvers Memorial Lecture in Sustainable Agriculture ever recorded, as well as the best attended lecture for their campus-wide program. I think a lot of farmers of the state of Iowa see this as a future.

This one is worth watching. Sometimes I wonder if the scientific community thinks regen livestock production is real. Savory, Carillo, and myself are live-streaming today. Please check it out facebook.com/share/1CiYCJH67…

I just ran a google scholar search of published science using the term “regenerative agriculture”. Of the first 100 search results, only 6 actually measured regen farms (3 were Ecdysis studies). Review articles are not helping the movement. Science is falling down on the job.

We used laser beams to count insects. Cool huh? Insects are so numerous that sometimes they are hard to count. New technology might help us do this easier. Check out this paper by our team (Yes we identified 30,000 insects by hand...) doi.org/10.7554/eLife.92227.…

Just wrapped up veraison sampling for our (@amelie_gaudin & @BugLundgren labs) project studying the effect of grazing & other regenerative practices on soil health, biodiversity, input usage, yield & grape quality. We sampled insects, assessed ground cover & took petiole samples.
