As president of PureLand America, a company dedicated to the production of organic beef, Scott Lively takes an interest in organic and traditional methods of farming. While seeking better ways to produce high-quality organic beef, Scott Lively has looked into the benefits of regenerative farming.
Regenerative farming is also known as biodynamic farming, and uses traditional methods that for the most part have been long abandoned by the American livestock industry. These methods include crop rotation, natural fertilization of the soil via animal dung, and minimal or no use of pesticides.
One major advantage of regenerative farming is carbon sequestration. Decades of intensive farming have stripped the soil of carbon, and much of this carbon has ended up in the earth’s atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Regenerative farming results in soil that is carbon-rich and healthy. The carbon provides nutrients for plants and assists in the growth of healthy microorganisms, improving the overall quality of the soil.
