My guest this week is Charlie Curtis, who is Founder and Director of Progressive Agriculture Services and Head of Agriculture and Environment for the Cool Agriculture Alliance. Listen to Charlie talk about:
- How in developing countries offer many lessons on regenerative farming practices that can help to transform our food system in the global north
- Why our farms are like drug addicts that we need to wean off chemicals in the transition to regenerative agriculture
- How challenging the waste and inefficiency of current farming practices is key to freeing up the land we need for bringing back nature
- Why factory farming of livestock is cruel and unnecessary, and how there are alternatives that incorporate animals in a regenerative approach
- How we need to bust the myth that regenerative agriculture is more expensive or less productive than intensive industrial agriculture
