'The Regenerative Agriculture Solution: A Revolutionary Approach to Building Soil, Creating Climate Resilience, and Supporting Human and Planetary Health.'
This exciting new book highlights the revolutionary Billion Agave project and other groundbreaking practices that show how regenerating our forests, rangelands, and farming ecosystems can cool our planet, restore the climate, and enrich our communities.
"Read this book to understand why you should care about regenerative agriculture. Until the public is better-informed and insists on sweeping changes to current agricultural policy. . .we will continue to degrade our planet and destabilize our climate. Leu and Cummins, through inspiring stories and solid science, show just how quickly we could turn that around." —Allan Savory, president, Savory Institute; chairman, Africa Centre for Holistic Management
The Billion Agave Project
This agave-powered agroforestry and livestock management system is demonstrating that native plants, long overlooked, have the potential to regenerate the drylands, inexpensive feed supplements and essential fermented forage for grazing animals, especially during the dry season, and alleviate rural poverty.
This strategy combines the growing of agave plants and nitrogen-fixing companion tree species (such as mesquite), with holistic rotational grazing of livestock.
The result is a high-biomass, high forage-yielding system that works well even on degraded, semi-arid lands.
“What excites us about this system is its ability to be scaled up, not only in Mexico but across the world,” said Ronnie Cummins, “This is a no-brainer, If you can do something that will reduce poverty, reduce forced migration, is good for the animals, good for the environment, and is very, very, very low cost compared to everything else, well, why wouldn’t you do it?”
