“To begin evaluating an agricultural system, you’ll need to get to the core ideas and features that actually drive the system to ensure that you have a grounding for best methods and practices.” – Scott Gillespie
Our April Regen Reads Recommendation is Practical Regeneration: Realistic Strategies for Climate Smart Agriculture by Scott Gillespie!
Scott has spent a lifetime constantly learning and gathering information for critical analysis in his life, especially in his career as an agronomist and gardener. In his book, his professional outlook on always assessing issues in the proper context shines through the pages and encourages you to question everything, always. Scott is well-versed in the anxieties of extreme weather events and an accelerating change in climate, and his prose guides the reader to understand the principles of regenerative agriculture through a research-based approach, rather than through a cultural fad.
Practical Regeneration follows a simple path that keeps the reader engaged throughout. It begins with Scott’s research and observational assessments throughout his years as an agronomist, and continues into the basics of regenerative principles and how farmers can start implementing them on their fields. It finishes off with some expert tips to refine these practices as well as examples of how farmers can expect amazing changes in profit and soil health in the future.
