Prof. Derrick Moot was invited to presented a talk on Regenerative Agriculture (Reality versus Hype) to the New Zealand Seed Trade Association conference held in Wellington on 21st October. His presentation covered pasture growth and environmental responses, methane and CO2 emissions. He also discussed similarities and disparities between Conventional New Zealand farming systems and Regenerative Ag systems in terms of national and global food supply. Several people asked for a copy of the talk but it was not recorded so Prof Moot has rerecorded it here.

Excellent overview that is based on evidence and fact.

I do not expect anything more from an agronomist than an agronomists point of view! No climate change, no biodiversity loss, no land loss, no aquifer pollution, no problem. And, of course, if there are no problems, there are no scientific results to show that regenerative agriculture works or that it is necessary. It remains to be seen why it takes an hour to say that. If there's no problem what are you worried about?

Response from Professor Moot: Hi Pedro, I have spent 30 years adapting farm systems for climate change - unfortunately I don't see the world stopping burning fossil fuel any time soon. My commentary stated this was about regenerative agriculture in a New Zealand context. I am agronomist and proud of the farm systems that we have developed to deal with climate change and reduce biodiversity loss. Indeed the NZ sheep and beef systems shown in the video have reduced emissions intensity by 30% since 1990 and offset either all or nearly all of their emissions with tree planting and retiring areas of natural biodiversity. I am worried that reduced production from wealthy EU countries has, and is, leading to biodiversity loss in the developing countries of the south, that are increasingly required to produce their food.
