"We've been taught for a long time that we couldn't change the land; the soil was what it was. We couldn't change organic matter, change it significantly in a human lifetime and we don't believe that any longer. With the things we know now, about organisms in the soil and adding livestock and diversity, we can make pretty significant changes in just a few years on the land "

This short film by Peter Byck and Roots So Deep is packed with so much systems-focused, context specific information: From the savings he makes in time and money by not making hay , to the impact of local food systems on local communities. It's a short video that ties together so much of what regen approaches can bring about: reducing costs, saving money but also improving soil health, sustainable parasite management and mitigating for climate change.
An engaging summary of how one small change in approach, one small observation of his accounts, has led to wide-ranging shifts in his mindset but also his management.
It's a cliche to say that a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step but this absolutely highlights exactly that.
