  • savory.global/landtomarket | This 4 part documentary series explores the powerful change in agriculture championed by forward-thinking producers. Watch the rest of the series here: • Regenerative Agricultu...
    Currently, there is rampant exploitation of our land, animals, and people, taking place on a global scale. The true cost of fast-food and fast-fashion are expended in unseen externalities to our local communities and our environment.
    In this episode, The Story of Dairy, host Chris Kerston, shares the stories of Holistic Management practitioners, milk processors and business partners in California, U.S.A., with Dr. Cindy Daley of SweetGrass Organics, New York, U.S.A with our Savory Network Hub Dharma Lea Dairy and Maple Hill Creamery, and Turkey with our Savory Network Hub Anadolu Meralari. These partners are going far beyond sustainability to bring about an era of regenerative agriculture through properly managed grazing that mimics nature.

    Great Work by the Savory Institute! Thank You Savory Institute for sharing this knowledge 💖💖💖
    Soil management is what the buffalo did before millions of buffalo were slaughtered. The land needed the buffalo to thrive.

    Agreed - music was an unnecessary distraction. But lets not let that distract from the overall value of what was discussed.

      Yeah, me too. I love that they speak the truth but remain silent. Unlike those "vegan propaganda" films. Not that i don't like veganism...i think it's peaceful and people at least think about what they eat. But often vegans (like me before i found this) think that veganism is the answer to everything and that it will solve all our problems. Cows can also help us solve these problems and regenerate the land. Even vegetable and crop farming, when conventional is very destructive. 🌱🌻🌱🌻

    Holistic Chef Barry Anderson of Phuket Thailand is a Thai Organic Gardener and is Interested in modern-day Homesteading in a regenerative style of working with Mother Nature Organically and not fighting or waging any CHEMICAL WAR against her like what the MONO CORPORATE GMOS factory farms are doing today. Thank You, PS So now unfortunately for most consumers corporate dairy agenda is very dangerous to one's microbiome and gut health. But organic pastured cultured fermented dairies like kefir and yogurt is impossible to find at the retail level. So this biblical food is difficult or impossible to find and is in short supply. We have thrown Motore Nature under the bus and we are paying for it in so many ways not good for most people. The retail industry and corporate farms are destroying the immune systems of millions. PLEASE PLEASE MAKE YOUR CONSUMER STATEMENT OF POWER AND CONTROL TO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ORGANIC FARMERS IN SEASON DIRECT even bypassing the greedy retail supermarkets that does not care about your health but care more about sales only.

    • @whiterabit09

      Google Dr Kellogg, grain is just as bad for humans, as it is for cows.

    • @swamp-yankee
      @swamp-yankee Před 4 lety +6

      Check out the Land Institute. There is a perennial wheat that is already in our food system in the USA. It's called Kernza, and marketed as Kamut. I am no expert, but I believe the goal is to establish a poly culture of legumes, forbes, grasses, and Kernza that can be harvested for grain or grazed.

    • @swamp-yankee
      @swamp-yankee Před 4 lety +9

      ​@@whiterabit09 Grain is not inherently bad for cattle or human beings. Excessive consumption is the problem. Demonizing specific foods is unproductive. Look at the lipid hypothesis. Two or three generations were brought up to believe that the animal fats consumed by our ancestors for thousands of years were the cause of modern chronic illnesses, and avoided them even though animal fat consumption had not increased. They were replaced with carcinogenic trans fats, since outlawed, and said chronic diet related illness have continued to increase even though we are eating less animal fat per capita. Who funded the studies blaming animal fats for chronic illness? The sugar industry. Guess what we eat more of than ever before? Not animal fat.
      I think the likes of Kellogg should be brought into the conversation about human nutrition, and the food system only to help us understand the historical context of where we are. We have come a long way in our understanding about what human beings are since he lived. To say you shouldn't eat this, or you shouldn't eat that does nothing to help people decide what to eat to stay healthy and thrive. And guess what Kellogg did? He experimented on the diets of people committed to an insane asylum, and started a brand of GRAIN BASED breakfast cereal to keep people from masturbating. What a crack pot.

    From another angle all together and a much bigger perspective these fine folks are proving we can cure stupid! So much appreciation for these folks finding the courage to step off...... from that moment they have been winning and they are willing to share what they’ve been up to, endured and how its paying off. Now the challenge is recognizing those who merely bought the farm instead of building one...... or a hundred thousand as these fine people are. Doing, being and having! Thank you! Many more might just live through this shit show because of your efforts...... Blessings to all who find the courage to prove a different reality!

    Music is too loud/annoying/overlapping the certainly very interesting content (which i couldn't watch til the end due to the disturbing "noise"...). Thanks for reducing the volume in the next uploads!

    • @wendyscott8425
      @wendyscott8425 Před 4 lety +1

      I agree. I really wanted to hear what some of the softer-spoken people were saying, and it was quite difficult. In spite of all that, it was very inspiring. I've been buying grass-fed milk at Trader Joe's since I discovered it there, and it's quite delicious!

    • @cleburne-dfwseptic6843
      @cleburne-dfwseptic6843 Před 4 lety +2

      depends on the locality, most states make it very hard to sell dairy without pastu/homog or at least one of the processes

    • @unhippy1
      @unhippy1 Před 4 lety +1

      the grass feed milk i get is pasteurized but not homoginised

    • @BoopShooBee
      @BoopShooBee Před 4 lety

      I used to buy raw milk in glass returnable bottles years ago, but somebody in some department in an undisclosed location stopped the farmers from selling it.
      I am not saying that the creamer lobby had anything to do with it. That would be accusing them of bribery and I can't prove anything.

  • @amyfrueh4808

    I come from a conventional farming family, and what I'm looking for is information on making small changes towards becoming more regenerative. Farmers whose families have been farming for centuries (like mine) will not listen to people who are new to farming or are not/have not been relying on farming for their income. My dad would never listen to a city person

      Doesn't matter. You can obviously get both from a cow 😅 But it matters a whole lot what the cow eats and how it is kept. Holistic management can save the earth and the humans.

    The question is where are the calves ?? Are they getting the deserved amount of milk? If not what's the whole point of this !!

    • @mckaychapple1737
      @mckaychapple1737 Před 4 lety +3

      All healthy cows naturally produce too much milk for their calves. After the calf is fed we get the rest. If not milked the cow can get very sick
