Regenerative Agriculture is a Popular Buzzword and For Good Reason, with: Sander van Stee

Regenerative Agriculture is a farming
practice that is revolutionizing agriculture in Canada. It enhances soil
health, biodiversity, and resilience, and helps farmers face the challenges of
climate change. The Dairy Farmers of Canada report that regenerative
agriculture is a journey to improve farm resilience and keep producing food.
Farmers have learned from successes and opportunities in applying the
principles of regeneration to mitigate the effects of climate change and offer
ecosystem services.

The six principles of regenerative
agriculture include minimizing soil disturbance, maximizing crop diversity,
maintaining soil cover, maintaining living roots year-round where possible,
integrating livestock, and understanding the needs of your farm. Canadian Dairy
Farmer, Sander van Stee, is passionate about animals. He went to the University
of Guelph with aspirations of becoming a veterinarian but later came home to
the family dairy farm instead. In 2014, they built a new dairy facility
centered around cow comfort, which improved the cows' health, becoming one of
the top-managed herds in Wellington County.

Sander eventually wanted to do more to
improve the lives of his animals but found there was no market for it. This led
to the idea of "Moral Eats," a company that sources and delivers
moral animal products because, for a solution to improve the welfare of farm
animals to be sustainable, it must be profitable. Sander joined me this week to
tell me more about his journey.
