It’s a myth that we can’t feed everyone without using “conventional” farming practices.

The only trap we’re in is a lack of creativity and will to do the things we need to do, the way they need to be done.

You realize what you’re calling reality is the myth, right? Farming in the “conventional” way is unsustainable. Full stop.

“Feed the World” Myth

Plants grew for millions of years without chemical fertilizers.

Plants don’t need fertilizer to grow if the soil is being taken care of.

Naysayers gonna nay.

Let’s see a source (preferably not from a fertilizer company) for the claims you’re saying have been made about regenerative farming and how those claims are falling short.

How does no till lead to more invasive species? (We’re talking about farming here, pretty much everything being farmed is going to be a non native species).

Compost has what plants crave. Plants don’t crave chemical fertilizers. Regenerative farming is more than simply adding compost, but an enormous component of it involves adding organic matter back to the soil… composting.

What “bolder soil regeneration claims” haven’t been reproduced or shown to work at scale?

It’s compost. It’s how nature works. It’s literally how the entire earth has worked for eons. We only very recently started introducing fertilizers and herbicides and pesticides and we got some extremely dramatic proof that this kind of farming is not sustainable almost a hundred years ago.

Tilling and adding chemical fertilizers is not sustainable. We don’t need to discuss how to deal with the rising cost of fertilizers, we need to stop relying on them altogether. Compost takes what has long been considered waste products and turns them into valuable natural fertilizers that are in every way superior to chemical additives.

Regenerative Farming… no expensive fertilizer needed.
