Episode notes

The idea that carbon dioxide exists is a gas in the atmosphere. But if we could follow one single individual carbon atom as a part of carbon dioxide and then becoming a part of a carbohydrate, it's just cycling. So cows are like this miraculous axle around which this incredible cycle happens. And I think people also don't understand this cycle has been happening for millions and millions of years.

Today on the podcast, Paul hosts Will Harris to talk about the power of regenerative agriculture. Will tells his story in how he began his farm, White Oak Pastures, and shares his thoughts and lived experience on regenerative versus factory farming, whether regenerative agriculture is scalable, and how raising cattle this way affects the carbon cycle and overall environment.
