I'm from Algeria in the north of Africa and I would love to bring this method to my country bcz the intensive monoculture agriculture is burning everything out here
It's sad that this is happening around the world. Large corporations come in, slash and burn, plow up everything and then set up large monocultures for global exports. It's hard to compete against that without govt. help. But even if you can't compete with what they're doing you can certainly improve food security with regenerative ag and this is ALSO happening around the world now where people learn methods and foods that are good for their area and are successful, and a lot of the time it's about getting back to what their ancestors did, but maybe using lessons learned from regenerative ag. so they improve upon what their ancestors did. I see stories about this topic on a couple channels. In the Philippines for instance there is a channel that covers their culture, food, agriculture, etc..... and they focus on the stories of bringing back traditional foods and agriculture and they always include either getting away from monocultures since after all they're tropical and that just shouldn't happen, or moving away from using chemicals. Good luck and peace to you.
I checked the tax return for this Foundation and they are definitely some good people. Always check financial statements closely before working with a non profit! Great stuff.
I really admire their inclusion of all aspects including the financial and customer components. Too many educational programs teach a lot about the primary focus but neglect showing their students how to actually utilize that knowledge and skill.
Most if not all that have gone away didn't know about regenerative agriculture. There are continual stories of young adults taking over farms from a parent or relatives and they struggled until they learned about regenerative ag, and then they go through a complete transformation, often scaling the farm down and making a lot more money. But there are also those that don't understand the fine details of running a business, and farming is a tough business for sure.
Fingers crossed and all the graduates take their learning and knowledge and apply it to the No-Till world and more. As always a GREAT Sunday Morning video. Keep em coming PLEASE!
Totally awesome. I'm looking to the future of utilizing gardens to supply veggies to a nursing home type environment. It's exciting to think that programs are training young farmers to help fill these gaps.
I am from Brazil and would love to apply this method to my country because intensive monoculture agriculture is depleting the soil here. Is there any way to start an apprenticeship program like the Green Acres Foundation in Brazil?
Interesting. I watch a lot of YTs from Germany and constantly see the Master/Apprentice relationship shown. But it's more one on one (or two or three or four apprentices to a Master). It's a system not only in all the trades but also in white collar work. Formal school work is also included but you learn from a (certified) Master "on the job". I don't think that really exists formally in the US; certainly informally - but no certification that I know of. This is great!!!
Amazing! Is there maybe a way to purchase the "green book"? I'm located in germany and i have my own farm to take care of, so it's impossible for me to go and make the whole experience over there. :)
