About this episode
Chris Wilson discusses the journey to regenerative farming and its environmental benefits with Citizens’ Climate Lobby activists.
In this edition of The Perpetual Notion Machine, sixth-generation farmer and business manager Chris Wilson describes the journey to regenerative farming on the land that his extended family has worked from homesteading in 1848 to Wilson Organic Farms today. The broad implications of viable sustainable agriculture and associated environmental benefits are discussed with Citizens’ Climate Lobby activists Stan Frey and Steve Lewis with host Patrick Sajbel. The practices of regenerative agriculture provide better drought & flood resistance, better soil management and higher carbon sequestration. Experiences and teachings in organic farming are shared at the farmer-led Fields of Sinsinawa center, the UW Madison OGRAIN organic network and the Rodale Institute for the transition from conventional, chemical-based farming practices. Practical guidance for anyone can be found in A Soil Owner’s Manual: How to Restore and Maintain Soil Health, by Jon Stika . Image courtesy of Wilson Organic Farms Did you enjoy this story?
