Скачать или смотреть Is Modern Agriculture in Model Collapse? | Mark Shepard

Modern agriculture isn’t just under pressure; it may be experiencing *model collapse*.

In this episode of the Soil Talks™ Podcast, Mark Shepard, author of Restoration Agriculture and _Water for Any Farm_, explains why today’s agricultural research and production systems may be built on a flawed foundation.

From monocultures and annual disturbance to hydrology, agroforestry, and perennial systems, Mark breaks down:

• Why annual monocropping disrupts ecological function
• How “model collapse” happens in agricultural research
• The economic math behind restoration agriculture
• Why yield is not the same as profit
• How to transition land without going bankrupt
• What the Midwest could look like in 100 years

This is not theory.
This is field-tested restoration agriculture at scale.
