“A regenerative no-till pioneer.”—NBC News
“Dirt to Soil is the [regenerative farming] movements’ holy text.”—The Observer
Gabe Brown (from the award-winning docs “Kiss the Ground” and “Common Ground”) shares 20 years of experience on regenerative agriculture principles from his North Dakota family farm
Gabe Brown began working on his family farm in North Dakota without intending to revolutionize agriculture. However, after a series of weather-related crop failures left him in financial trouble, he and his family adopted innovative farming practices to survive.
Brown experimented with regenerative agriculture, reducing the use of herbicides, insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers, and implementing no-till planting, diverse cover crops, and new grazing methods. This transformation revitalized their farm''s ecosystem, starting with the soil.
The Brown’s Ranch model focuses on regenerating resources by continuously enhancing the living biology in the soil.
Brown’s 5 Principles of Soil Health:
• Limited Disturbance
• Armor
• Diversity
• Living Roots
• Integrated Animals
Brown’s Ranch has regenerated resources, growing several inches of new topsoil and producing various crops and livestock. Brown emphasizes a shift in mindset from killing to fostering life on the land, highlighting that the greatest obstacle to solving problems is the human mind.
