Soils For Life

Farming for what matters, putting profit and human wellbeing before yield, with Gabe Brown


Listen Later

In this episode we talk with Gabe Brown, a farmer and educator from North Dakota. Gabe and his family run Brown's Ranch, a 6, 000 acre operation that's become a model for regenerating land.

After years of tough seasons and crop failures, Gabe recognized a need to build a farming system that works with nature instead of against it.  Through no till, cover crops, diverse rotations and integrating multi species livestock, he restored soil health, boosted resilience and almost eliminated the need for synthetic inputs. Gabe advocates for ‘profit over yield’ and says that farming with nature is the way to get there.

Beyond his own farm, Gabe's helped thousands of farmers transition to regenerative practices through his work with Understanding Ag, the Soil Health Academy, and his book Dirt to Soil.  We hope you enjoy this conversation with Gabe Brown.

This episode was hosted by Eli Court and produced by the Grow Love Project.
