pushback against the organic movement from the agrochemical companies because they say, well, how are the farmers going to survive? How are we going to feed the world? How are we going to create enough food for everyone? And what I always tell people is there's this amazing farming systems trial that's been going on for 40 years.

And what it is, it's been an ongoing study that's still happening right now. They've been doing it for 40 years through the Rodale Institute. And what they do is they have conventional farming on one side and then they have organic farming on the other side.

It's incredible. Yeah. And what they have found is that in this organic farming system, it produces the same, if not sometimes even more yield than what the conventional is yielding. And then on top of that, it's sustainable. Because what we're doing in our conventional model right now is we're getting to a point where we are desertifying the soil.

And we're depleting it of so much nutrients that at some point you literally cannot plant there anymore. And you have to go somewhere else to plant. And they are theorizing if we continue down this path and we keep ignoring this, that we have about, depending on who you talk to, anywhere between like 52 to 54 harvests left where we will no longer have soil that's plantable for plants.

So we need to do something because what we're doing right now, it's just a quick fix. Right. It's not long term sustainable. And our, you know, our grandkids are not even going to have soil left to plant in. Right.

I really hope so. That is one of my number one dreams, like hopes that we get out of Maha. I know Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is incredibly passionate about regenerative farming and I know he knows about it. And also too, we know that it can be done large scale.

I mean, we have these farmers like Will Harris and Joel Salatin that have these huge regenerative farms and they all came from the traditional conventional path and they switched over to regenerative. And they also provide a lot of resources for farmers that want to switch over.
