This month we’re featuring Be Love Farm in Vacaville, California, and Matthew Rose Stark, Be Love’s former Livestock and Orchard Manager.
Welcome everyone to another episode of Kiss the Ground. Today’s guest is a very fun guy, Dr. Michael Amaranthus, a USDA forest service soil ecologist who retired from the USFS to start his own biotech company called Mycorrhizal Applications. Mycorrhizal is a relationship between fungi and plants to increase water and nutrients to the plant while providing carbohydrates to the fungi. Today, Michael is here to chat about his journey to discovering the benefits of fungi, what this process looks like, and how it can affect climate change.
This eight-minute mini-documentary, featuring Dr. Allen Williams, offers a comprehensive journey into the profound opportunity that is regenerative grazing. In stark contrast to the destructive, environmentally-damaging force of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), the film shows that cows are not the problem and, in fact, cows can be managed as a means to regenerate our land, replenish our water sources, sequester carbon, and increase prosperity of ranchers.
Kiss the Ground members are the grassroots stakeholders that stand with us in the regenerative movement.
