Regenerative Roots: Cultivating Conservation and Sustainable Agriculture
Regenerative agriculture is more than just a trend—it’s a powerful solution for restoring soil health, improving biodiversity, and creating resilient farms. In this episode, we sit down with Dawn and Grant Breitkreutz, regenerative farmers from Redwood Falls, Minnesota, who have spent the last 20 years transforming their land using soil health principles, holistic grazing, and sustainable land management practices.
Learn how regenerative ranching benefits livestock, restores degraded farmland, and enhances environmental sustainability. Discover practical techniques like rotational grazing, cover cropping, and no-till farming that can help rebuild soil organic matter and improve water retention. Whether you’re a farmer, conservationist, or simply curious about the future of food production, this episode provides real-world insights into the power of regenerative land stewardship.
