Hi, this is Dr. Mercola, and I'm here in Bismarck, North Dakota on location with the regenerative agriculture pioneer Gave Brown, who actually started this a few decades ago in the last century and purchased a farm from his wife's

parents, his in-laws, and his really developed the expertise in helping people understand how to build

soil and why is it important because obviously if you don't have healthy soil

you healthy organisms growing in that you can't create nutrient-dense

food.

And the challenge, the big challenges that conventional agriculture is literally decimated

the top soil because of these practices, which includes tilling and the use of synthetic fertilizers that are destroying the microbial life.

So the projections I gave you can expand on this is I think within one or two generations we're going to lose most of our topso and now what's going to happen?

Because hydroponics doesn't cut it.

So, Gabe is, the reason he's a pioneer is because he's done it.

He teaches people all over the world.

I think he was telling me he'd just travel 140 times this year alone,

and this is only like July. So he has the real world practical experience

in how to implement this. So why don't you share your journey with us and help people understand this process and some of the

challenges that we're facing.

Well, thank you, Dr. McColl.

It's a real pleasure to have you here in North Dakota.

A little bit about myself and how this operation started. It was founded by my in laws, as you said, in 1956, and they farmed it conventionally.

Tillage, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, etc.

From 1956 till 1991, when my wife and I purchased it from them.

And I have moved on here in 1983, my wife and I moved on here and ran the livestock

why they grain farm. Then we started farming also, and I started farming conventionally.
