I have a quick but important ask. As you're probably aware, Green Dreamer is an independent

podcast and we don't take on corporate advertisers to fund our work because we don't want those

considerations to influence our curiosities or our abilities to question whatever it is that we want to question.

So if you value and believe in our work, this is our call out.

We need your direct support in order to continue this podcast.

And you can help us out so, so much through a paid substack subscription to my newsletter at

camaya.substack.com or through a one-time

donation at greendreamer.com slash support. It really means a lot to have you here and we're so

grateful for whatever form or level of support that you're able to share with us.

You don't find monocultures in nature. You find very, very diverse ecosystems. The only

place you find monocultures is where man put them. And nature functions best under this

diversity and diversity of both plants, animals, and also insects.

Why do we need to stop focusing on yield as the ultimate measurement in food production in spite of our growing populations?

And how does the presence of insects and animals on our farms support agroroecology, and regenerates more biodiversity on

our farmlands. That's just the tip of the iceberg of what you'll hear today. Green Dreamer is

supported by our listener patrons and Buns, a community where people meet every day to trade

things like clothing, houseplants, furniture, and art. You can check it out first by downloading the

app, Buns, that's spelled B-U-N-Z, on your smartphone, and I'll tell you more later. For now,

to our conversation with Gabe Brown, the author of Dirt to Soil, the owner and operator of Brown's

Ranch, and an award-winning farmer and leader in regenerative agriculture systems.

Green Dreamer, if you're ready, take a deep breath and let's dive in.

Hey, it's Kamea Shane and this is Green Dreamer, a podcast for creatives, visionaries, and entrepreneurs dreaming of a sustainable future.
