What the univs around here have been teaching have killed soils and the ecosystem to near collapse levels :/ There's a need for those who can afford to be patient for 4-5 years to try regenerative methods. And many farms have gotten there, esp given the tropical climate and monsoons that we have.
Sameer Patil has effected a fairly amazing transformation at his farm somewhere up there I think. Take a look https://www.facebook.com/patilnaturefarms

Yeah the subject is a little clickbaity but hey, as long as many do read it :p
And yep, this is from an Indian pov and for those with cash to spare looking to get involved again, but some of our experiences at TVC will likely be universally relevant.
Of course, it's a journey and we're still learning much.
Haha :) yes it was a little clickbaity. But as long as it gets many to understand and act on this a little better than trying to flog dead soils to produce something, worth it.
I wrote that. Thanks @happy-go-lucky for sharing that.
This is indeed an India based pov. And based on real life experiences and learnings over 4 years now at this farm. Lots more to learn and understand, surely. I'm sure there's some stuff that translates well across geography too, especially the patience bit.
Do want to see regenerative farming grow, because as it happens today is eventually a dead end.
