Under the current agricultural paradigm, soil scientists estimate we have only 55 to 60 harvests left. But don’t lose hope – rebuilding soil health can save us from a dystopian future of failed crops. In this episode, Jeff meets with Kiss the Ground Co-Founder Finian Makepeace, regenerative rancher Doniga Markegard, and actor/environmentalist Ian Somerhalder in front of a live audience to explore the farming techniques that can transform the current standard into a regenerative system.
