Regenerative farming
A conversation with Mollie Engelhart
Many of us in the ‘freedom movement’ are expressing the desire to be self-sufficient and grow our own food, but have little knowledge of how it can be achieved.
The one thing we know is that we have no intentions of following the mainstream model that relies heavily on mono-cropping and chemical inputs. This is definitely not sustainable, because it is extractive and destructive of the most vital features of the soil; its microbiology.
In the same way that it is vitally important to understand the role of the organisms that live within our bodies, without which we would not survive, it is vitally important to understand the role of the organisms that live within the soil, without which plants cannot grow.
These are the key features of regenerative agriculture.
Confluence was an event that was centred around the solar eclipse, but it was also focused on regenerative farming.
I am preparing a write-up of the event, but took advantage of my extended stay at her ranch to have a conversation with the amazing Mollie Engelhart - link below - who has tried and tested the regenerative model and shares some of her vision in our conversation.
It's very encouraging to hear of another example of healthy growing and farming, thank you.
I wish not to be negative but to highlight what in reality i think we're up against. We haven't arrived at this point of ill health free market agriculture randomly but by design, primarily via public health, grant and subsidy structures. Most of the poisons that were used to kill on the battlefield during active war were intentionally put into herbicides, pesticides and fungicides at lower doses with the specific intention of killing you and the soil passively slowly over time. I think it important for people to wrap they're heads around the magnitude of the long term scam regarding food, agriculture, what constitutes good health and how it dovetails into other areas like municipal water supplies back to The Enclosure Act of 1801 and beyond, this goes deep. I expect to see much opposition from the highest levels to any sort of agrarian renaissance healing the nation but do think this is one battle we must win if we wish to be healthy.
Thank you, bless you.
I tried to get many microbiologists interested in the topic of what happens when we drop poison on the soil, answering one of the many problems in Apartheid New Zealand "Kauri die back " . A problem that the govt threw millions at and when giving them a solution to it I just got stonewalled (because I am not a microbiologist and persona non grata haha).
How does 1080 kill the soil;
The Insects that 1080 kill normally aerate the soil and dig tunnels that provide channels for water.
So it becomes "dead" soil, water logged full of the fungus-like Phytophthora agathidicida.
1080 causes Kauri die back.
You can follow the timeline in all cases of kauri die back in NZ to the 3x recommended amounts of 1080 drops .
1080 is dropped killing the insects, microbes and life in soil without the life and oxygen it increases the water leading to die back .
