Ep. 102: Land Use: Regen Ag & Soil Health -ft. Fred Kirschenmann Fred Kirschenmann has been an agent-of-change in agriculture for five decades.  His work at the Leopold Center at Iowa State University has introduced resilient farming practices to diverse stakeholders, and advanced the adoption of regenerative land management through building an awareness for soil health in the US breadbasket. As President of the board at Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture in Tarrytown, NY, Fred has worked with leaders from cuisine, food systems and production agriculture to establish a globally recognized epicenter of research and enrichment for food.  As a whole, Fred's collective efforts to reconnect us with nature through food and its production elevates him to an iconic stature in a time of ecological enlightenment.  Tune in to hear what this true-action-hero icon has to say about the movement in 2022 and beyond.   A statesman for a just and stable tomorrow.  Every-time I sit down with Fred I learn something new.  He's a philosopher and master craftsman of storytelling that has inspired many of us in the movement to take next steps in our own journeys.  Despite holding multiple jobs, overseeing hundreds acres of farmland, and shouldering the weight of the world well into his 80s, Fred remains current on advancements and bleeding-edge research.   Leveraging an impressive compendium of readings and on-going discussions with other iconic thought-leaders - Fred is a wealth of knowledge who continues to mold and sway new mindsets. This type of inspiration from action heroes like Fred serves up quality nourishment for the movement, and fuels deeper engagement. When I first stewed over the startup idea to coax food values through the supply chain, Fred coached me to think systematically and to adapt my focus to incorporate different stakeholders in the equation.  He challenged me to include soil health, regenerative land management practice and regional food systems into a single frame that would focus on the betterment for all parties involved.  A decade later, we have a long way to go to reach betterment, but after sitting down and chatting with Fred in this latest end-of-2021 chapter, it's clear that the revolution has begun.  IMO – what Fred has helped kindle over the last half century will reach a fever pitch within this next generation. I've seen first hand the inertia and passion of this generation to come. It's real and it's going to happen. Considering all of that, I've come to appreciate that how we produce our food and manage the living soil will ultimately determine the stability of the planet.   Folks don't follow new ideas alone. It's the leaders of these ideas that motivates others to act, and it is people that drive movements of change.   One thing is for sure, to stabilize this planet under threat we need to be do a better job listening to more of our iconic leaders - like Fred.  Folks who've lived-it; folks with real chops in delivering "betterment" to more.  For a more just and prosperous tomorrow, we need to listen to folks that know about instituting nature-based solutions.  The folks worth their salt; the ones with unique wisdom worthy of leading they movement are the action heroes who bring real solutions to the table. An infomercial for Regenerative Agriculture & Soil Health, after hearing from an icon of food system and ecological change - be inspired to take the next step in your journey.      Key Takeaways…   EPISODE RECAP: LAND USE: regenerative agriculture is proper on-farm natural resource management HUMAN HEALTH: soil health harmonizes with gut health: microflora not too much different than soil CIRCULAR ECONOMY: investing in soil health results in positive human & public health, planetary stability LABOR: the future farming workforce wants to grow food for each other, and not commodities   WHAT GOOD SOIL OFFERS: Soil is the lifeblood of every successful civilization.  The positive results and impact of good soil health from regenerative land management practices include: Perpetual food production Carbon Banking & Planetary Stability No chemical and synthetic runoffs Cleaner / health living environment for all stakeholders Enhances nature and biodiversity Sweet water Storage and clarity   GABE BROWN'S 5 PRINCIPLES OF REGENERATIVE: To get us there we need a new operating model to land management.  Especially when it comes to the way we produce our food, we need a new operating model to land management.  Here are the pillars to support change our relationship with nature and each other. No disturbance (no-till, no-synthetics) Bolstering Soil's Natural Defense (the outer-layer protecting all that life) Bio-diversity (marrying nature's way keeps the system healthy) A living root in the ground as long as possible (cover-crops & seasonal diversity) Animal & Insect integration (nature relies on the entire system working together) .. @StoneBarns www.SourcingMatters.show

Fred Kirschenmann is a farmer, academic, and pioneer advocate for resilient farming joining us to weave together why healthy soil is essential for farmers, our planet, and for our health. An unmatched storyteller, Fred traces the evolution of US agriculture to the story of his family's farm from the Dust Bowl to the present. Grounding our conversation in the history of agriculture industrialization, Fred makes a case for shifting from a food system based around controlling nature to a food system based around relating to nature. This is a timely conversation: Fred has been warning of the risk of infectious disease increase and spread tied to agriculture for decades. As we continue to navigate the Covid-19 pandemic, Fred explores how this moment of great disruption is an opening for social transformation. With his inimitable ability to identify patterns of problems, Fred explores the connections between soil health, farmer economic success, human health, and a healthy economy. Glorying in a conversation with the “Farmer Philosopher”, our dialogue delves into the relationship between spirituality and agriculture. Fred offers a vision for cultural transformation in how we related to nature and each other by engaging in meaningful peaceful conversations and relationships. Fred's assessment of the future we are facing is clear-eyed. He shares why he is hopeful that the younger generation will shift our relationship to nature. And he is equally clear that changing agriculture practices at the scale and pace needed to avert the worst of climate change is not a foregone conclusion.

Fred joins us again to share more about his work at the Aldo Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University and Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture and how those two places are working to allow us to plan not only for the world we have now but also for our descendants. The solutions come in multiple forms, from the ways we can use plants in our fields to increase yields while regenerating soil, and the cultural changes that are coming as the children and grandchildren of the Baby Boomer generation reject consumerism and focus on a more community-centered life.     What do you think of what Fred shared with David today? Are there places where you can favor biology over technology in your design? Do you make lifestyle decisions that have an impact on your use of resources and consumption?     I'd love to hear from you.

We are coming to the end of an era that uses fossil calories to power our food production. It's going to take more than technology, more than math and science, to see us out of this predicament; it's going to take collaboration, creativity, and imagination. Born on a North Dakota farm during the Great Depression and in the grips of the worst drought in U.S. history, Fred Kirschenmann has spent most of his life working to change how we farm, as well as our relationship to the land. For more than four decades, Fred has been a champion of agricultural resilience, an articulate advocate for soil health and a pioneer of organic farming. Fred currently serves as President of the Board for the Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture. A long time national and international leader in sustainable agriculture, Fred is a Distinguished Fellow at the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University at Iowa State University and a professor in the Department of Religion and Philosophy. He also continues to manage his family’s 1,800-acre certified-organic farm in south-central North Dakota. His work has helped transform what was once obscure and marginal work—resilient, sustainable agriculture focused on the health and restoration of the soil—into an international movement.   Historically, civilizations that anticipated change and prepared accordingly were the ones that survived, while those who ignored all the signs eventually collapsed....what kind will we be?   In this episode... Fred's father stressed the importance of taking care of the land and how that shaped Fred's values How his path took him into Philosophy and Religion, academia, and back to the land--this time on the organic path Rudolf Steiner's influence on his philosophy of spirituality and agriculture For Fred, spirituality and agriculture has a lot to do with microbes! Putting agriculture in historical context Farmers who switch from conventional agriculture to regenerative agriculture have a larger profit margin and find that the old model of "get big or get out" no longer makes financial sense Justus von Liebig's influence on input-intensive agriculture and being A soil-building philosophy (using the principles of nature) Perennializing our food crops The soil microbe-gut microbe connection; the effects of foods grown in living soil on human health Challenges of proposing huge changes to the aging farming community, and challenges of land prices for young farmers who want to practice regenerative agriculture Those civilizations who anticipated changes and made preparations are the ones that survived It's going to take more than a steady diet of STEM courses (science, technology, engineering, and math) to solve the coming food crisis...it is going to take imagination, creativity, and collaboration.

He also continues to manage his family's 1800 acre certified organic farm in North Dakota. We join David and Fred a few minutes into their conversation after Fred shares his encouragment by a former university student to look into organic Agriculture. Fred begins with his decision to convert to organic agriculture and the impacts this has on his farming choices, including the lack of available mentors and markets for this new-old method of farming. From there, Fred walks David through the transformations one can see from choosing bio-regionalism and farming with a sense of place and the impacts of organic agriculture. They end with Fred's three points for creating viable sustainable farms: by choosing to create regenerative, resilience, and relationship focused agriculture that forms a bond between the farmer, their land, and community. -- Visit our sponsor: Earth Tools -- Get in Touch: Email: The Permaculture Podcast Write: The Permaculture Podcast The Permaculture Podcast Resources: Stone Barns Center The Gospel of Consumption (Orion Magazine Article) People: Thomas Berry Sir Albert Howard (Keith Addison.
