Regenerative farming practices can transform degraded soils and create resilient ecosystems.
The current agricultural system prioritizes mass production and cheap prices, leading to externalized costs and environmental degradation.
Society needs to recognize the value of agriculture beyond food production and support the transition to regenerative practices.
Collaboration between farmers, scientists, and policymakers is crucial for driving systemic change in the agricultural sector. Systemic, ecological, and social innovation is crucial in agriculture.
Partnerships and support from organizations are essential for the growth of regenerative farms.
Reconnecting people with nature and making sustainable food choices are important.
Cows play a vital role in regenerative land use and should not be seen as the problem.

Partnerships and Support for Regenerative Farms
"We have developed an agricultural system that is very, very good at producing masses at the cheapest possible price. But that came at the cost of soil health, biodiversity loss, and water depletion."
"We need to touch people's emotions, we need to touch people's hearts. That is the way forward in order to change the large system surrounding agriculture."
"Agriculture and farming have to be at the epicenter of coolness. Farmers are the custodians of our world and future generations."
"This is systemic, this ecological, this is social innovation."
"The DNA of our farm has always been to invite people here and to hopefully touch them and make them understand why we are doing what we're doing."
"If people actually experience something emotionally and they touch it, they feel it, they smell it, that changes you, that sticks with you."
