Regenerative Ag: Farming the Way Nature Intended, feat. Cynthia Daley

Cynthia Daley is a professor within the College of Agriculture at California State University, Chico, and serves as the Director for the Center for Regenerative Agriculture & Resilient Systems. Cynthia is originally from Illinois, where her family has been actively engaged in the farming profession for more than four generations. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois, her doctorate at University of California Davis. She joined the CSU Chico, COA faculty in 1997 and later founded the Organic Dairy Education & Research Program in 2006. Seeing the need to grow the ecological farming movement, Daley went on to co-create the Regenerative Agriculture Initiative in 2016 and guided  this program  to Center status in May of 2019. The new Center for Regenerative Agriculture & Resilient Systems is a consortium of interdisciplinary faculty and farmers who recognize the ecological benefits of regenerative farming practices including water conservation, soil fertility, and carbon sequestration. The Center's guiding principle is that agriculture, when done regeneratively, can be the solution to soil degradation and climate change.-----With gratitude to our sponsors:RA Optics⁠https://raoptics.com/bttp⁠Use Code: Nicole-----Backyard ButchersGo to ⁠https://www.backyardbutchers.com/pages/nicole⁠ and use code “Nicole” for 20% off your steaks and tallow direct from the Texas ranch.-----Sky Horse Publishing⁠https://www.skyhorsepublishing.com/⁠-----Mama Suds⁠https://mamasuds.com⁠Use code 'NICOLE'-----Sign Up⁠https://shop.backtothepeople.net⁠  Learn more about your ad choices.
