The Production of Nutrient Dense Animal Protein is a Regenerative Process
This presentation will go beyond organic, to a more regenerative model of livestock production that is foundational to nutrient dense food. A model that not only produces a rich profile of phytonutrients and antioxidants, but also builds soil and sequesters carbon in the process. We will dig deep into the art and science of regenerative practices, what they are, how they work to improve soil, and the connectedness between soil life and the nutrient density of meat and milk. Enlivened soils, lush in biological diversity, that create sumptuous pasture forages, is the foundation to nutrient dense animal protein. We will also discuss where the organic standards fall short of this goal, how the organic dairy industry is at a crossroads, and what producers in the West have done through WODPA and CDFA to address some of these big issues.
