Editorial comment: If anyone viewing this has read Wendell Berry‘s ‘The Unsettling of America’, this is exactly the kind of farming he envisages will restore the health and vitablity back to US agriculture.
Livestock on the Land is a story by Practical Farmers of Iowa about the ways that farmers are building a regenerative agriculture by centering their operations around the animals they care for. Whether it’s through rotational grazing or cover crops or fertility for crop fields, livestock hold the key to protecting our soil, cleaning up our water and even providing habitat for wildlife. But most importantly, livestock give farmers a chance to get started, grow businesses, provide for their families, work together, and ultimately, bring back the next generation to start it all over again.
