REGENERATING EARTH Farmers Working with Nature to Feed Our Future

Author/narrator Kelsey Timmerman addresses the dangers of corporate farming: how planting large tracts of nothing but corn and soybeans necessitates using damaging chemicals to yield desired profits at the cost of polluting the soil and water. Timmerman's thesis is as timely as it is terrifying, and he's a popular speaker on the topic. However, he struggles when narrating due to his choppy cadence and tendency to read too quickly and swallow some of his words. Timmerman, who farms in rural Indiana, travels near and far to investigate sustainable methods of small farming and animal husbandry. From Wisconsin to eastern Africa, the Amazon rainforest, and Hawaii, he observes both new and ancient Indigenous methods of land management that support regenerative agriculture by promoting biodiversity.
