A revolutionary Approach to building soil, creating climate resilience, and supporting human and planetary health:  Is it possible that the solution to the global climate emergency lies in a "waste" agricultural product?                                                                                                                                                     Two brothers from a small town in Mexico re providing just that. The best-kept secret in the world today is that solutions to some of our most pressing issues--food insecurity, deforestation, overgrazing, water scarcity, rural poverty, forced migrtion--lies in adopting improving, and scaling up organic and regeneration agriculture best practices.                                                                                                                            The Regenerative Agriculture Solution tells the story of how two brothers--Jose and Gilberto Flores--are at the leading edge of this approach, pioneering the use of previously discarded leaves of the prodigious agave plant to regenera agricultural soils, reduce erosion, and improve water capture. Amazingly, their methods also benefit their local economy, creating jobs by producing an inexpensive livestock feed supplement that could grow into a multi million dollar industry and change the face of agriculture, animal husbandry, ecosystem restoration, and climate change forever.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     When Ronnie Cummins, the cofounder of Organic Consumer Association (OAC) and Regeneration International met the Flores brothers in 2019 and witnessed the revolutionary agave agroforestry system, he knew they were onto something important. Cummins had spent decades studying the potential and pitfalls of organic and regenerative agriculture and new best practices when he saw them. The scientific data was even more convincing, suggesting that the project--and others like it--could revolutionize the way we understand the climate catastrophe.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         The Regenerative Agriculture Solution is an agricultural, agroforestry, and public policy blueprint, as well as a call to action for organic and regenerative farmers, ranchers, and land managers around the world.                                                                                                                                                           Chelsea Green Publishing has the book by Ronnie Cummins and Andre Leu - THE REGENERAATIVE AGRICULTURE SOLUTION - The revolutionary approach to building soil, creating climate resilience, and supporting human and planetary health -  release date: September 12, 2024 - $24.95
