Tomasz Jakil, a farmer from Angusowo in Lubuskie, tells his personal story of how he went from working as an international telecommunications specialist to establishing the first "regenerative" farm in Poland in 2014. He describes his farming philosophy, which was inspired by the teachings of American farmer Joel Salatin, who promotes building healthy soils and local ecosystems by intelligently managing livestock on pastures, without the use of artificial fertilizers or chemical sprays associated with conventional agricultural techniques. In this extensive farm presentation, he explains the differences between his style of farming and conventional techniques, arguing that his way is better for nature, human health and animals. He also expresses his views on many complex issues such as nutrition, the business of agriculture and the ethics of animal husbandry.
Lubuskie Angusowo is a small farm established in 2014 in the Lubuskie Voivodeship, near Zielona Góra. On 18 hectares, completely fenced, Tomasz Jakil and his family raise Red Angus cattle (currently 29 mothers with a bull and calves), a small herd of Jersey and Poland Red dairy cows, a herd of Mangalic pigs, goats and rabbits. The Jakil family also raises laying hens, which they keep in special henhouses on wheels called egg mobiles. During the growing season, Tomasz raises pasture broilers on the pastures of the Lubuskie Angusowo farm. What distinguishes them from similar farms in terms of area? Their approach to agriculture and especially to animal husbandry. They do not use complicated machines, they do not have a tractor, and to transport bales in the pasture they use an old Atlas loader, which they affectionately called Złomek. Many of the tasks related to fertilizing the soil on their farm are entrusted to animals, which are treated with respect by the farm owners as their employees. They spread fertilizer, plow, if required, harvest crops, etc. They use controlled grazing on their pastures, known as MOB grazing. They use poultry in chicken tractors to fertilize the soil, and mangalic pigs for weeding and plowing. The farm is Tomasz and Karina's family business, but also their retirement plan. Tomasz is a telecommunications engineer by education and has so far had the opportunity to work with such large holdings in the industry as T-Mobile (formerly Era), Nokia, Ericsson, Telefonica and Vodafone. Karina is a nurse by education, but in the industry producing the highest quality food they see their future and that of their families.
