    What an amazing documentary. I too grew up in a small Illinois farm much like those. I'm maybe 10 minutes from the end of this video, and the elephant in the room with this entire situation, is the massive donations the 4 major food producers pay to our politicians on both sides, to keep the regulations, and subsidies where they are. Only THEY get wealthy. Only their shareholders are making record profits, while the consumers are being squeezed more and more. I also agree one of the best documentaries I've seen in a very long time. Thank you.

    This video is the kind of life I grew up with. We did not use commercial fertilizers and no herbicides that poisons the soil. Instead, we rotated crops with wheat, hay, corn, different kinds of beans and oats. We also planted half acre of buckwheat for the bees to work in later in the summer. All the farmers around us used all the poisons and planted corn in the same field for twenty years. If you don't rotate crops, the corn bores will damage the ears on the corn. What one crops puts in the soil the next crop needs to grow. We had cattle and used the manure for fertilizer with no meds used in the cattle as others do. The restaurants in and around Chicago are fortunate to have farmers to bring in nutritious food. I have read where much of the food in the grocery stores have glyphosate in them, so people are consuming poison, no wonder cancer is so prevalent.

    I feel so obligated to also comment that this regenerative model of farming would drastically cut into the big chemical companies pockets. They donate millions to political campaigns. Also discussing growing your own seeds, most people aren't aware THAT'S NOT LEGAL, a literal CRIME with most major seed companies, has been for decades. Today's farmers do not OWN the seeds they buy. They're just using them to produce a crop. They can not use any of their crop for future seeds. I met a very elderly man in Alabama that was arrested and jailed for refusing to follow this. Again, like virtually every aspect of agriculture, the mega wealthy CONTROL nearly every aspect of it. Until we can have major campaign finance reform, and break up the very few agriculture and chemical producers that are clearly monopolies, nothing will ever change. Both political parties are equally liable for allowing this atrocity.

    The big shock is going to be (already started in some places around the world) when our ability to produce food at the industrial scales we currently do, starts to break down.
    At this point anyone is going to be happy they spent some time and thought on how to produce some of thier own food. You can do it in a city Scape (many projects already exist if you check around your locality), so don't need to be deep in the countryside.

    The thing that pests me is that fruits in the supermarkets, like pears, apricots, peaches & their likes, are always hard as billiard balls & will stay that way even if you boil them, their smell is gone & a sign like "fruits" would look rather out of place
    The most scary symptom is that flies, that love fruits, are nowhere to be found

    • @DJJonPattrsn22
      @DJJonPattrsn22 Před 14 dny

      Yes, indeed!
      1. Actually, pears WILL (almost always) ripen into delicious fruit if stored correctly...
      2. Stone fruits (apricots, peaches, plums & nectarines) do NOT continue to ripen after separated from the tree. They will soften, but they will not get any more sweet.
      However, once they are truly ripe enough to pick, their remaining shelf life is too short and they are too fragile to make the long journey to grocery stores in a condition that will be sellable!
      If you want to enjoy these fruits as they are meant to be, you must either grow them yourself, or purchase/source them much closer to their source, ideally from the farmer or a local/regional reseller. Until grocery stores modify how & where they source their produce, it is totally unrealistic to even hope to find a delicious, ripe peach there! That's your mistake & ignorant fantasy...
      Take some responsibility... EDUCATE yourself! Learn about the food you are consuming!
      What are the requirements for it to be good, delicious & nutritious? How can you recognize and select which items are ripe?
      Complaints of this nature and under the circumstances of this platform lack the potential to improve what you eat or to resolve any of the casual issues for its poor quality.

    There a lot of people in the USA and the other countries that are doing regenerative agriculture. Iowa is the 2 in the nation to do cover crops and has restored 416,000 wetlands . Iowa is number one in conservative tillage .Pigs and chickens can’t live off of grass to long they have to have grain with grass .Cows and goats and sheep can live off of grass . As for 2024 for the crops of 2023 50 percent went to humans and 36 percent went to livestock and 12 percent with to other material . If every one went that way it would be better for the environment . And bring fresh food into local grocery stores . There is a lot of misinformation on agricultural.

    that was an amazing programme being from the uk ,weve had problems for years with our farming practices it all started when we joined what was then the common market we weree promised it would be better ,but look at this we import thousands of litres of milk from france we try too export lamb too france and what did the french farmers do set fire too the trucks which took the lambs too france they were willing too let them burn alive the drivers as well,our farmers not all of them though took part blocked the docks from which the french milk tankers entered into the uk and opened up the tankers taps and allowed the milk too pour out yes they got into trouble.
    but land here is being sold for developing and we are still importing rubbish from thousands of miles away.
    the uk as its known but during the 2nd ww war we were called known as gb kept the country alive there never was any where near the commercial chemicals we have now, farmers kept pigs, or cattle they were graed outside during the summer and brought in in winter ,in spring when they out the barns they were kept in would be cleaned as through winter they would of been deep littered and that was stored in a heap in one of the many fields they had and in the fall that would of been spread on the fields left for month or two before being ploughed.
    one local farmer near too me for the passed 2 years has grown 4 fields of clover,vetches etc and every so often just tops it too keep it tidy but this year he will mow it and plough it into the soil his fields are so sandy the clover is helping too put nitrogen back into the fields and it also helps with holding the soil together so its not blown away or washed away ploughing it in will also feed the soil,theres too many farmers putting tons of artificial fertiliser on their fields,thats due too not many of them are keeping livestock any more

    Love your channel Josh. We've had drought conditions here in VA since May. Just a tip for storing hay out in the field, line your bales front to back as tight against one another as possible. This lowers the amount of exposure for each bale as opposed to having the bales standing alone in the open. I started storing mine this way a few years ago and can see the improvement in quality when it's time to unroll those bales. My next improvement is to cut enough logs to keep them up off the ground. One step at a time is how we improve. Stay blessed

    As a farmer and a person that has a large garden and grows most of my own food I personally understand wanting the connection but most people couldn't care less and romanticizing local and small farmers who produce almost none of the food doest help. Food is and has to be a commodity to create the right incentives to feed 8 plus billion people without that you would quite literally have 3 billion people starve and that's much worse than being disconnected from your food. Gardening is the most popular hoppy in America so many people do grown some small % of their food.
    If you went 50 years back to many more small inefficient farmers you would need the cost of food to more than triple and people are already very angry for food to go up 30% or so in 4 years. The cost of the average Americans food as a % of their income is the lowest in history and of any country it's about 5 % and even Canada pays about double that at 10% most people in developing countrys pay more that 60% plus. Global foods are commodities so if we held back on production global prices would skyrocket around the world. It's not even close to worry it to starve a few billion people so we feel more connected with our food. If you want to feel more connected move out of the city and have a house in the country and have a large garden and grow your own food.

      You're probably sitting in a position that doesn't understand much more than the giant concrete jungle you see around you, and that's why you think the whole world has to be fed. Farmers only need to worry about their local area first, county second, state third, and whatever left over is feed for the pigs.

    17:00 -ish: the chef is right, that's why we must never, ever, EVER give up eating meat and other animal produce. Because cows in particular can eat all those plants that heal the soil inbetween crops like corn or soy and their dung is the most amazing fertilizer you can give back to the soil (partially because some of their gut bacteria that come with it continue to work in the soil and help retain the carbon from CO2 inside the soil, which plants then use to build their bodies - carbon is essential for any living cell). You can also get all vitamins and minerals from various parts of beef, often in greated quantities than from plants (vitamin C, iron, calcium, etc.) or they straight up don't exist in plant sources (some from the vitamin B category, vitamin K2 - which our bodies can actually use to the fullest compared to plant-sourced K1, albeit some fermented products also contain it), and you obviously need a much smaller portion of meat than of vegetables to be feel the same level of satiation.

      While I am a strong believer in true skepticism, it is critical to maintain the understanding of what that is and what it is NOT!!! One thing that skepticism does not equal is:
      To tend towards first assuming a conspiracy or nefarious intent (in the absence of directly suggestive evidence).
      The automatic assumption that this film was suppressed was thankfully mistaken, but more importantly, this is not a healthy or sustainable attitude & way of thinking.
      I am absolutely NOT suggesting that there isn't a tremendous amount of intentionally terrible things going on, or that we should overlook, deny or ignore any of that!
      We must remain open-minded & adaptive and follow the evidence wherever it leads! We have little hope of finding a solution for a problem which has not been properly & accurately identified and assessed.

I just have some questions for you, why do we have such a huge supplement industry in this country? Why are the same people who are in chemical fertilizers and pesticides the people who make the medicine we need to survive the food were eating? Do you really believe that as a nation we are eating that much fast food compared to the other meals we eat?
    We are the most unhealthy nation in the world despite the fact that we spend the most on medicine.

      I know people in their 20’s who eat out every single meal. It’s not all “fast food”. I have a niece whose husband drinks Mountain Dew from the time he wakes up til he goes to bed. There’s so many bad eating habits out there. The good thing is the cost of eating out is getting too expensive and they are at least talking about cooking their own food soon. 😂

      @gabriella Why do you think it is appropriate or reasonable to pose your questions to the film maker?
      While the topics are certainly related, those are NOT the topics of this film!
      Your questions are non sequiturs!
      And, in fact, I would argue that if you had actually been paying attention to this entire film... You would understand that the information contained here could prevent the need or importance of your queries.

    I believe in a lot of what is said. Especially the problems with uniformity. We need more choices in seed/product selection. I dont believe the carbon message. Plants die without carbon, we die without plants. I would like to see numbers on cost for the institutions that promote the alternative ways of farming. I imagine that they make a healthy salary with government grants to do the research. I farm but could not afford it without a pension from a prior 30 year career. Also you have to live in a "Goldilocks Zone" to be able to sell farm to table. If the farm isn't convenient cost wise to the customers its tough to make a profit. Rural people can't afford it or already raise it. The local farmers markets want 1 million in liability insurance and you have to accept EBT payments. A lot of this is labor intensive, what are the cost numbers? People are "sick, obese, unhealthy not because of the foods that are available, but the foods they choose to eat. I have yet to see a grocery store that doesn't provide both options. Food insecurity doesn't mean you don't have enough food, but that you might have to buy the store brand, instead of the name brand. Again I would like to see the numbers on investment and return on sustainable agriculture.

    A very entertaining documentary with a well chosen soundtrack and a let's get back to nature theme. In 2022 the government of Sri Lanka banned all chemical fertilizers. It ended poorly and they quickly changed their minds six months later after having to import food which devalued their currency causing extreme inflation. Apparently going green made them loose alot of green$$$.

    Quando criança, minha avó tinha uma horta espetacular no restante do terreno de nossa casa, cerca de 800 m². Plantávamos hortaliças, frutas, algum milho e galinhas que se alimentavam das sobras, nos garantindo ovos frescos e orgânicos. Como neto mais velho brincava de ser agricultor orgânico, claro.

    I also bake my own bread and I endure endless criticism because people wants it when it is free and they become insulting when asked to pay for it. One guy was on the radio and was telling everyone not to eat my bread and that it was not good because it was not free. When questioned why he said it doesn't taste like my mother. And I discovered that his grandmother sprinkled sugar on the bread. Only poor people feeds their kids sugar bread.
    Those people are no longer my friends!

      WTF? Pathetic! You complain of endless criticism, and yet...
      Are you unable to understand & see that you are criticizing & demeaning your critics based on their socioeconomic status (their POVERTY)?
      First of all, it is impossible to believe your nonsense claim. NOBODY actually expects to get quality food from an artisan producer for free! You're full of sh*t...
      Nonetheless... I have a few questions that hope you can clear up for me, please.
      Can you explain how your criticism is somehow acceptable or justified while theirs is not?
      Or, even better, can you tell me how you are in any way doing anything that may resolve the problem of their constant criticism and end the cycle?
      I propose EDUCATION!
      Have you ever considered explaining & TEACHING them in a respectful and non derogatory manner that anything of genuine value & quality comes at some cost or price?

      I understand what you are attempting to convey and I agree.
      However, your claim is actually inaccurate & ignorant! There are actually some amazing things going on, even in DC with farming & food production (although small scale)... Your claim would be accurate if instead you specified "the politicians" in DC without including all of those residents who actually have nothing to do with the politics.
      In fact, the ¾ of a MILLION (~750,000) residents of Washington DC have NO representation in the US Congress nor the US Senate despite paying taxes like everyone else, if not more!

When we shop for fruits and vegetables we have no way of knowing when they were harvested or, many times, where they came from.Obesity (which is a form of malnutrition) is at an all time high. Diseases like diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, etc., are rising.The life expectancy in the US has been dropping for several years. We are eating ourselves to death.
