the the end part the nitrogen for sure is now enwrapped or covered with pfas for time release because it breaks down over time well so now the pfas are in our soil and they're systemic and they're going up into the plants and we're eating pfas they're put there so when you top dress the soil with mpk the plants are happy in a certain way They have what they need to get green and get big.

But the problem is that they're weak and don't have all the micronutrients. They don't have the minerals that you absolutely need for viability and for true health. And so insects come in and say, oh, delicious, like a thousand acres, same thing. Wow, let's go breed and eat. And at the same time,

What happens as the soil weakens from chemical fertilizer, lack of roots going down, the roots don't go down now, they go out, go laterally. They get everything they need from the surface. Then the soil is degraded. And as the soil degrades, weeds come up. And it's so interesting about weeds because we think weeds as, quote, quote, weeds, right? Wrong plant, wrong place.

But in fact, if you actually know weeds or these plants, because your plants are not weeds, and you look at the land, you can tell from the weed what's wrong with the soil. They are there to heal the soil. It's nature's way to heal. Like the Canadian Thessalonians will have deep tap roots go down. Why? They're bringing up minerals up to the subsurface into the labral parts of the soil, right?

So regeneration or regenerative agriculture is simply doing what soil does everywhere it always has in terms of making itself richer, renewing, you know, being part of a cycle of life. And so in a forest or in a meadow or a grassland, you know, It's eaten by animals, and the poop goes down, or the plant then withers and dies in the winter, and it goes back into the soil. There's a cycle.

And so regenerative agriculture, you have more life in the soil, you have more carbon. So people talk about, like, okay, it suppresses carbon. Yes, it does, and we should do that. But that's not why we should do it. That's the outcome.

I can say this emphatically. The only way forward for humankind is to create more life on Earth. There is no other way. I don't care what Bill Gates says or what some oil company says or this or that and so forth. There is no other way. Does part of that include also human life?
