In this episode of the Regenerative Agriculture Podcast, John Kempf interviewed Ray Archuleta, an outspoken proponent of healthy soil systems. The podcast describes how new science and technology have identified many examples of collaboration in agroecology. The speaker provides examples of research that illustrate fields with a diversity of species showing greater resilience and yields than monoculture plantings. It is shown that the collaboration taking place between plants, microbes, and bacteria in a healthy ecosystem is a description of a larger collaboration between farmers who are practicing these methods and sharing their information with other growers. Ray shares his own journey from viewing farming as drudgery to learning how the relationship between the living organisms works and feeling like he was a part of that relationship. The conversation takes a deep dive into farmer-soil-plant relationship, providing growers with the history of the soil health movement, the roles that policy, society, and agriculture play in the broader global health context, and the encouraging view on the vast gains that have been made in the field of soil health since the beginning of Ray’s career as a soil conservationist thirty years ago.
