Can Soil Health Equal Rancher Wealth?
Adaptive multi-paddock (AMP) grazing is regenerating soils, watersheds, critical ecosystem services and livelihoods in North America. Early data shows soil carbon is the essential currency for this vibrancy. We are building on these early results with multi-disciplinary research conducted with regenerative ranchers in different regions of US. We will present our latest interim data and have open dialogue relating to our research and future plans. This is a panel with Richard Teague.
