Over his decades of farming and ranching, Understanding Ag's Gabe Brown has noticed a troubling trend: the conventional farming techniques he used were degrading the soil and negatively affecting life. He shares how his family farm turned things around by adopting regenerative agricultural practices — and shows how the wider food system can use these same methods to improve food quality and revitalize the land. https://lnkd.in/gCs8GWEa

UA provides farmers and ranchers with the guidance to achcieve their goals, success and profitably through soil health.
About us
UA is a consulting company that helps educate farmers, ranchers and landowners on how to regenerate soils, profits, and their farms or ranches for future generations through regenerative agricultural practices. We focus on what we term the 6-4-3 on every farm or ranch. These are the 6 principles of soil health, the 4 ecosystem processes, and the 3 rules of adaptive stewardship. By implementing these and having an understanding that the soil is a living, breathing, ecosystem, we can achieve great success. Not only can we help achieve farmer and rancher success, but their practices can help to mitigate climate change, including flooding and droughts, provide cleaner air, cleaner water, and increase habitat for wildlife and insects. We believe that we can all agree that these changes would be beneficial for everyone and not just a few.

A recent Washington Post article examined research currently being conducted at the University of California-Davis using gene editing techniques on rumen microbes to produce less methane from their digestive processes. Understanding Ag’s Morgan Hartman writes that while the motivation to reduce the amount of methane released into the Earth’s atmosphere may be admirable, the millions upon millions of dollars spent chasing the red herring of livestock rumen microbial methane emissions is not. https://lnkd.in/g6YdS_wW
