May 22, 2023 #116 LandTrust: Bridging the Gap Between People and Nature with Nic De Castro
In this episode of Ranching Reboot, we talk to Nic De Castro, founder and CEO of LandTrust, a company that is revolutionizing the agricultural sector by creating a marketplace for land sharing. Nic discusses how farmers and ranchers can generate additional income through outdoor recreation, such as hunting, fishing, bird watching, and more. LandTrust provides a unique platform that connects landowners with the 99% of the population who don't produce food, fuel, or fiber.
Nic also delves into the challenges of building a supply and demand marketplace, LandTrust's revenue model, and the importance of stewarding shared assets. In their conversation, Brian Alexander and Nic discuss the disconnection between people and their food, the potential benefits of carbon contracts for ranchers, and the possibility of shared ownership and stewardship of land.
Listeners will come away with actionable insights on how to create a listing on LandTrust, how to QA the booking packet, and how to place the profit incentive on quality habitat and wildlife populations.

May 01, 2023 #113 Will Harris "Disrupting Big Food and Big Tech" an Interview

In this episode of Ranching Reboot, we have an engaging conversation with Will Harris of White Oak Pastures about his transition from conventional farming to regenerative agriculture. Will Harris discusses the misuse of technology in agriculture and its unintended consequences, such as dead zones in the Gulf of Mexico, species extinction, and increased carbon emissions. He also highlights the influence of big multinational corporations on the Farm Bill and other legislation, and how this affects independent regenerative producers.
We dive into topics such as the cycles of nature disrupted by humans, the revolving door between big multinational corporations and government bureaucracies, and the challenge of market access for rural areas. Will Harris shares his insights on transitioning from an industrial to a living system, founding a non-profit to teach what has been learned over the past 30 years, and the importance of reading his upcoming book, "A Bold Return to Giving a Damn."
