Native Habitats & Regenerative Farms

So, before we dive into this one, lets set the stage. In the aftermath of the chaotic year of 2020, We started to see a lot of residual impacts and new buzz words coming out 

regenerative farming 

sustainable agriculture 

factory farming is bad.

orgranic grown is the way to go.

What does cage free even mean?

we also saw a revived movement in supporting local farms and businesses. 

 

Here’s the thing, I know enough to know that these topics are important- land conservation and soil and water quality, not to mention the foods that most of us consume. I know everyone on this podcast are fans of wildgame, myself included, but I also know virtually none of live off of nothing but wild game 24/7, and not to mention that regenerative term is starting get thrown around in wildlife management circles as well

 

So the real question is, is the hype is real?- I’m no farmer, I’ve never raised livestock

so in efforts for all of us to get to the bottom of this I’ve called in subject experts-

To my surprise, in doing research for this particular podcast episode I learned of two 

regenerative farms right here in my home state of Mississippi. 

Home Place Pastures- a grass fed beef and pork opperation in Como, Mississippi 

and Riley Family Farms a pasture poultry farm in Holly springs,MS 

and lastly, we'll talk to Kyle Lybarger of the Native Habitat Project 

 

Between these 3 guests we’re going to find out once and for all what regenerative farming and native habitats really mean, and why it’s so important for conservation, wildlife, and our every day lives.
