Gabe Brown will present Regenerative Agriculture: Details of a Profitable Journey at 1 p.m., December 13 via Zoom as part of the McHenry County College fall speaker series, Forefront: Ideas in Food and Farming, hosted by the Center for Agrarian Learning. Brown is a nationally recognized North Dakota farmer and rancher who stands at the forefront of the regenerative agriculture movement, known for popularizing the concept of cover crop cocktails as a key strategy for jumpstarting soil health and nourishing soil biology.

Brown will talk about how healthy ecosystems follow six consistent principles that are the same for farms, ranches and gardens. Understanding how to work with instead of against them leads to healthy soil, plants and animals, healthier people and higher profits. He will share the story of how he and his family took a broken, degraded and unprofitable farm and regenerated it into a healthy and profitable one teeming with life by following nature’s principles.
