Episode notes

Animals have parasites even in the best conditions. When animals are not in monoculture, they sort of in some ways work together. They're interrupting parasitic life cycles of another species that allows both species to kind of thrive together. And that's something that isn't often recreated in natural farming. If people find this story gross, this is the way life works in nature.

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.
