9 NOV 2023 · From Degenerative Industrial Agriculture to Regenerative Organic Agriculture - The real future of food, farming and communities, Dr Vandana Shiva. Vandana discusses Bill Gates and the Billionaires’ corruption of agriculture and food systems compared to the positive alternative, regenerative organic agriculture of smallholder family farms, which produces more health and wealth per acre.

24 OCT 2023 · Dr. Gilles Eric Seralini of the University of Caen, France. Today he brings us a presentation about his research surrounding the hidden ingredients found in pesticides such as Roundup and the effects of Genetically Modified Organisms on animal health. This presentation is from Regeneration International's People's Food Summit 2023. The People’s Food Summit is a major 24-hour event in celebration of World Food Day, October 16, featuring exciting speakers from every region of our planet.

15 NOV 2022 · In the Foreward to the new book by Ridge Shinn and Lynn Pledger, renowned holistic rancher Gabe Brown writes: “It seems that every day we wake up to a new crisis, from the COVID-19 pandemic and high fuel prices to empty store shelves and war in Ukraine. Our world is in a constant state of change. While many cry doomsday, some, like Ridge Shinn and Lynne Pledger, know that the secret to resiliency in a changing world can be found through healthy soil, created with the help of grazing ruminants. Relying on a lifetime of experience with cattle and resource conservation, Ridge and Lynne take us on a journey through production agriculture in the United States. They explain how farmers and ranchers went from grazing livestock on pasture to confining cattle in grassless pens where grain and by-products are brought to them—grain and by-products that are grown with synthetics (fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides) and the heavy use of fossil fuels. These practices, in no small part, have led to the degradation of our soils, our waters, and, at least to some degree, our health. This has led many to vilify animals, cows in particular, and falsely claim that they are largely responsible for climate change. This book helps to set the record straight: This new method of grazing cattle has a net climate benefit. As Ridge and Lynne so truthfully state, “Regenerative grazing will change the way our society thinks about beef, because the grazing itself is as significant as the meat.” Read more: https://www.chelseagreen.com/2022/why-regenerative-grazing-is-so-important/

9 NOV 2022 · The Billion Agave Project is a game-changing ecosystem-regeneration strategy recently adopted by several innovative Mexican farms in the high-desert region of Guanajuato. This strategy combines the growing of agave plants and nitrogen-fixing companion tree species (such as mesquite), with holistic rotational grazing of livestock. The result is a high-biomass, high forage-yielding system that works well even on degraded, semi-arid lands. The system produces large amounts of agave leaf and root stem—up to one ton of biomass over the 8-10-year life of the plant. When chopped and fermented in closed containers, this plant material produces an excellent, inexpensive (two cents per pound) animal fodder. This agroforestry system reduces the pressure to overgraze brittle rangelands and improves soil health and water retention, while drawing down and storing massive amounts of atmospheric CO2.

1 NOV 2022 · Dr. Vandana Shiva joins Andre Leu in a conversation about the state of biodiversity, regeneration, food sovereignty, and freedom in the world.

25 OCT 2022 · The global best practice model for funding and scaling up regenerative and organic food and farming comes to us from Australia, which has more organically certified farmland and pastureland than any other nation in the world. Veteran organic farmers in Australia have come up with an alternative solution to the global fraud of carbon trading and carbon credits, and corporate greenwashing. They call their new system, which we at OCA and Regeneration International believe is a global game-changer, “Organic Eco-Credits.” In this video, Ben Dobson of the Hudson Carbon Project and Ronnie Cummins, international director of the Organic Consumers Association and Regeneration International steering committee member, discuss the need for Organic Eco-Credits in North America. Then Regeneration International Director, Andre Leu, interviews two leaders, Carolyn Suggate and Greg Paynter, of Australia’s new organization, the Organic and Regenerative Investment Coop (ORIC). ORIC website: https://organicinvestmentcooperative.com.au/eco-credit/ Listen as they explain how Australian farmers and investors are creating a new paradigm of Organic Eco-Credits and Bonds.

18 OCT 2022 · What’s going on with our kids? As of 2011, 43% of US children (32 million) had chronic health conditions, increasing to 54.1% when overweight, obesity, or being at risk for developmental delays was included. This data is 13 years old and newer studies suggest that these numbers continue to escalate to shocking levels. As any parent knows, trying to get to the root cause of common problems like extra weight, allergies, asthma, gastrointestinal upset, eczema, learning challenges or behavioral issues can be maddening. Thankfully, there are some moms, doctors and scientists out there who don’t give up. In this conversation, Organic Consumers Association’s Political Director Alexis Baden-Mayer talks to three such women: pediatrician Michelle Perro, scientist Stephanie Seneff, and Moms Across America founder Zen Honeycutt. These three super sleuths investigated common toxic exposures, widespread health disorders and the medical literature until they identified a central factor in what’s making our children sick: Foods that have been genetically engineered to soak up Monsanto (now Bayer)’s glyphosate-based Roundup weed killer. They didn’t stop there. Listen to this information-packed interview to learn more.
