Dr. Charles Massey is a farmer, a well published author, highly respected academic and speaker on Regenerative Farming. In this episode, Charles shares with us his journey as a farmer who transitioned from conventional farming to regenerative farming. He tells us about how the "Mechanical Mindset" of industrial farming has destroyed 40% of land that has the potential to be used as crop, and how Regenerative Farming has the ability to bury large amounts of carbon into the soil, to reverse the effects of global warming. We chat about the importance of healthy soil and a healthy soil microbiome, and in particular top soil. Charles teaches us how fertilizer, herbicides, pesticides and other harmful chemicals were first introduced to farming, and we chat about the harmful effects of Round Up and Glyphosate on the land and our health. Charles shares with us the concept of the "Emergent Mind", what he believes is essential is shifting the paradigm on the way we farm, eat and connect with nature.
