Carbon is one of the most misunderstood elements and we are going to potentially miss the boat if we are only focused on CO2. What I discovered in my work in Regenerative Soil rocked my world and took time for me to piece together the real story - we still need to draw down the carbon, but it's not the picture that the mainstream media and politicians are running with: we've shrunk the engine of our earth, the actual context of the Carbon cycle, and if we bring it back, we'll see totally different numbers than we might expect especially depending on where we measure and whether or not the photosynthetic capacity of the earth is ready to match it.

Ep. 159 | Essential Emergency Prep: Double Your Yields, Avoid Pests, & Save Water

If you've heard of the Governor's Island remediation project where they grew an indigenous forest on top of toxic rubble, you've heard of Todd Harrington's work. Join us for an introduction to the work of a true pioneer in the compost tea and extract space, someone who's been adding biology to soil and then testing to verify the benefits since the 90s, someone who learned from Dr. Elaine Ingham at that time and has been adapting and innovating since then. This is a very special conversation with the one and only: Todd Harrington.

All life systems depend on microbes - they are critical in all the cycles of the soil but also for all the elements and all the nutrients animals and plants need. Without microbes, we'd lack a microbiome to digest our food. We'd lack the life in our plants that makes them heallthy and nutritious. We'd lack the life in the soil to protect and build more soil. We all rely upon soil!! AND SO, looking closer at it i.e. using a microscope to make small things bigger, we can better understand it - the same way your doctor or veterinarian uses a microscope to diagnose and predict and then prevent or treat; we can do the same for soil!!

EPISODE 208 - Eco-Ag 2025 & the State of ACRES USA with Taylor Henry

There is growing awakening that is spreading like WILDFIRE in our communities, BUT we are in a race against time and soil loss - soil loss which is dramatic when the numbers are examined - yet our own health and fertility decline almost matches the same declining curve... it's just happening faster for us. Our future depends on us moving fast enough in this window of time to save our collective health by healing everything from the ground on up. They have discovered that regenerative foods have minerals, nutrients, and even amino acids not found in conventional foods - we've been eating food that was missing essential components for health, for longevity, for well being. We NEED these nutrients in our food because we NEED these nutrients for our health.

AND it's not as hard as it sounds, in fact it can be pure joy observing and partnering with the natural cycles of the soil because you are in real-time and consistently seeing your work is working - your soil is improving every season.


If you are interested in this kind of knowledge and the results that pair with it - some folks have doubled their yields, some folks have ended all fertilizer usage, and some folks have remediated toxic soil, but everyone benefits because knowing WHY something is happening allows one to always make a better decision.

EPISODE 132: The Rhizophagy Cycle with James White | A Regenerative Future with Matt Powers

This is a reading from my new book: Regenerative Soil

Regenerative Soil - The Science & Solutions covers soil management, remediation, generation, and the science from the biological, chemistry, and biochemistry perspectives and all connected to the natural farming methods, so we can see and calculate those methods for and at scale in all climates and situations from gardening to farming to large-scale remediation. You'll be able to see the cycles for each nutrient/element and why/how/when of their cycles - it builds a principle-based understanding that allows for improvisation and comprehension across disciplines, methods, and techniques.﻿

"Matt Powers’ Regenerative Soil is the reference I will be using and recommending for those working from the backyard to the back paddock.”
